[AISWorld] Final CFP: Pre-ICIS Workshop on Sourcing, abstract deadline, Sept 30th.

[Ilan Oshri]

We are pleased to release this Call for Papers for the Pre-ICIS Workshop which will be held December 10, 2022 at The IT University of Copenhagen (ITU), Copenhagen, Denmark.

The workshop will aim to explore how new and emerging forms of (out-)sourcing and offshoring, challenge sourcing practices and theories, and consequently identify new directions for research and practice. This workshop aims to bring together viewpoints from various disciplines, including IB, Strategy, OM, OB and IS on global sourcing of IT, Business Services and Innovation. We also focus on teaching aspects related to outsourcing and offshoring with fast track for publishing high quality teaching cases in Journal of Information Technology Teaching Cases.

Paper Track

We invite research articles, work in progress and focus on practice papers that investigate topics relating to global (out-)sourcing and offshoring. In particular, the workshop will endeavor to present the views from client, supplier and advisory viewpoints, from strategic, operational and social perspectives. Some of the specific themes that are of interest in this workshop are:



Sourcing decision making

Sourcing configurations (multi-sourcing etc.)

Supplier and client capabilities and competences

Contractual and relational governance

Sourcing eco-systems

Impact sourcing

Cloud services

Crowdsourcing

New and emerging sourcing models including robotic process automation, machine learning, artificial intelligence

Captive (in-house) and shared service centres

Backsourcing/re-shoring

Knowledge-intensive services and innovation in outsourcing/offshoring

Cultural and social aspects of sourcing practice

Sustainability and the impact on sourcing

Emerging topics and concepts in sourcing not covered above

We are interested in papers that are both conceptual and empirically-based.
