CALL
FOR PARTICIPATION
The conference focuses on organizational information systems from
a global perspective. “Globalization” can be seen as
a contradictory process, which may imply increased interconnectedness
of local actors but also “globalism” in the form of
increased transnational uniformity. Following Geoff Walsham, the
Joint 8.2+9.4 conference urges Information Systems researchers around
the globe “to study particular individuals, groups, organizations,
or societies in detail, and in context.” Contextually aware
studies of organizational information systems from all parts of
the world form the basis for comparisons and inferences from a global
viewpoint in this conference.
