Call for Papers

16th Annual Cross-Cultural Research in Information Systems Meeting
Sponsored by 3M
December 14th, 2008
Paris, France

Description

You are invited to submit papers addressing how culture, broadly defined, shapes the way Information Systems are designed, used by, or affect society.  Finished papers, research-in-progress and panel proposals are sought for the 2008 SIG-CCRIS in Paris. Submissions will be double blind peer reviewed.

With a long tradition of congregating researchers interested in Cross-Cultural issues in IS, this meeting has been a good point of contact for those who are actively involved in the area or who would like to know a little more about what other researchers are doing in this area.

This year's keynote speech will be given by Dr. Dorothy Leidner, The Ferguson Professor of IS at Baylor University, on "Technology, Globalization and Humanity: Riding the Waves in Cross-Culture Research"
