[AISWorld] Mini-track proposals to the Future of Work in a Digital World

[Eisenberg, David]

Dear Colleagues,

We invite mini-track proposals to the Future of Work in a Digital World
(at the Americas Conference on Information Systems
(AMCIS 2023), August 10-12, 2023 in Panama City, Panama.



*Track description: *

The future of work in a digital world track focuses on advancing the
fundamental understanding of digital transformations’ role in the human,
societal, and technological dimensions of work. New technologies have
augmented the ways businesses create, access, and communicate information
resources. These functional attributes have enhanced the current
incorporation and future demand of an evolving “new workforce,” which
entails a knowledge-intensive focus – the knowledge worker. The future of
work track is a multi-disciplinary approach that addresses the human and
societal dimensions as well as the technological innovation and the
potential impact on future work.


The mere availability of new technologies and existing labor resources does
not ensure enhancements in operational strategizing and corresponding
efficiencies and innovation. The interactions of workers and technologies
introduce vast complexities that involve obstacles that must be identified,
understood, and managed. Technological innovations should be integrated
with advances in learning, adult learning, workforce training, social,
behavioral, and economic science perspectives, i.e. intellectual capital.
Potential min-tracks should contribute to fundamental advances in
optimizing the human-technology team, the science and technology of future
workforce development and education, work environments, and positive work
outcomes for workers and society.

Mini-track chairs will be responsible for a) promoting their mini-track to
generate manuscript submissions to AMCIS 2023; b) soliciting and
assigning reviewers for manuscripts submitted to the mini-track; and c)
making recommendations to track chairs about each manuscript submitted
to the mini-track.

To submit a mini-track proposal,**you will need to include a) mini-track
chairs (names, emails, affiliation); b) mini-track title; c) short
description of mini-track for the AMCIS 2023 website (up to 150 words);
d) call for papers for your mini-track. To submit a mini-track proposal,
