HICSS 58 Call for Papers

Minitrack: Digital Technology for Resilience and Sustainability

Track: Organizational Systems and Technology

Minitrack Co-chairs: Jordana George, Amber Young, Sirkka Jarvenpaa

Keywords: Sustainability, organizational resilience, transparency, provenance, supply chains, compliance, preserving cultural heritage, digital monitoring, ethical consumers, ethical purchasing, fair trade

Call for Papers:

We seek to advance our understanding of how technology influences organizational sustainability, and we want to understand how technology changes, improves or worsens sustainability and organizational resiliency initiatives. We approach sustainability and resiliency in multiple contexts: environmentally (Leidner et al., 2022; Seidel et al., 2013); managerially (Agrawal & Lee, 2019; Eccles et al., 2014); socially (Almuqrin et al., 2023; Schoormann & Kutzner, 2020); and through theory building (Touboulic et al., 2020), among others. This minitrack highlights the organizational perspective.  Topic areas in organizational sustainability and resilience are widespread and multidisciplinary. A few of these subjects include supply chain transparency and sustainable sourcing, sustainability-driven creativity and innovation, sustaining cultural heritage, resilience and sustainability enabled by agile processes, digital provenance and tracking, authenticity, digital monitoring and compliance, ethical consumerism (retail) and ethical purchasing (wholesale).

We will consider several types of submissions for this minitrack:

  1.  Traditional research papers (complete or emergent) that make a theoretical contribution to knowledge. These papers will be reviewed in a traditional manner.
  2.  Practice- or policy-oriented papers that describe an emergent innovation or law and the anticipated impacts of this innovation or law. These papers will clearly articulate practical or policy implications. They will be written in a way that makes a complex technology or law understandable to readers from a variety of backgrounds.
  3.  Teaching cases that help educators and students think critically about technology and organizational sustainability. These papers will include discussion questions to help students and educators think through the potential future impacts of technology.
  4.  Methodology papers that highlight methods that are especially useful for research in this area. These papers may explore mixed methodology, new methods, or novel applications of methods that are currently underutilized in IS sustainability research.
