Call for
Papers for the Mini Track
“Building Relationships between Information Systems and
Other Academic Disciplines”
Over past several
decades, the IS community has accepted good ideas and adopted theories,
methodologies, philosophical bases and assumptions from the reference
disciplines to solidify its domain and demarcate its reference disciplines.
Information and decision-making have been a universal subject of research in
many academic disciplines both within the business school and outside the
business school. Many theories and
ideas originated from cognitive science, psychology, management science, systems
science, communication science, organizational science, information
science/library science, and computer science have positively contributed to
the emergence of new research area of information systems. This minitrack will
serve as an important forum for the exchange of ideas to promote cooperative
research between the IS community and other well-established academic fields.
Possible Topics
may include, but are not limited to,
the following:
* Assessing the
current state of intellectual relationships between the information systems
area and other academic disciplines within the business school or outside the
business school.
* Examining the
contributions from reference disciplines to the development of information
systems subspecialties.
* Investigating the
contributions from information systems to the development of other academic
disciplines.
* Reporting new
developments in other reference disciplines/other established fields such as
anthropology, cognitive science, psychology, systems science, computer science,
communications science, organization science, management science, information
science/library science, etc.
* Exploring new
areas of cooperative research between the IS system areas and other established
fields.
* Applications of information systems in Engineering, Medicine, Arts and Entertainment, Military, Government, and Not-for-profit Organizations.
*Applications of information systems in functional management areas such as Accounting Information Systems, Financial Information Systems, Marketing Information Systems, Manufacturing Information Systems, Human Resources Information Systems, International Operations Information Systems, and the like.
