Information Systems for a Sharing Society

Transcription

1 Personal ICT: Design, use and impacts The rapid diffusion of powerful technology has infused our lives with a plenitude of devices and services. With more mobile devices than people on earth and a growing number of products and services entering individuals private sphere, this area of digitization calls for further attention. Such personal ICT serve various purposes and range from devices such as smartphones, smartwatches, smart home and health trackers; services such as instant messengers and advanced personal assistants; to complex peer-to-peer ecosystems such as social networks, sharing services, and collaborative systems. Accordingly, this track focuses on the design, use and impacts of these devices, services and complex product-service systems that are preliminary aimed at individuals in their different and varying roles as consumers, family members, friends, and citizens. This track aims at conflating perspectives on (1) the unique aspects of designing and building such ICT,(2) their impacts on individuals, organizations, and society, as well as (3) the challenges in managing them. For the benefit of individuals, firms, and society, this track seeks to gather insights that can be used to actively shape i.e. understand, facilitate, and if necessary limit - the role of these novel technologies in individuals everyday lives. The topics surrounding personal ICT have recently gained traction with more and more publications in our premier outlets focusing on personal rather than organisational information technology and multiple special issues (e.g., Information Systems Journal, Electronic Markets) calling for more research in this topic area. The track aligns well with the ECIS 2019 conference theme Information Systems for a Sharing Society since the digitization of individuals personal spheres provides them with new capabilities and opportunities to control their own lives and their data, and to transform their interactions with other individuals, organisations, and governments. At the same time, those developments create new challenges and issues that we need to understand and mitigate. We encourage both full paper and research-in-progress paper submissions on the topic from all theoretical and methodological perspectives. Topics include but are not limited to: - Management and use of personal ICT Interaction patterns with personal ICT Discontinuance of personal ICT Interdependencies between different devices and services in individuals ICT portfolios - Impact of personal ICT Positive direct impacts (e.g., convenience, happiness, health improvements, ) Negative direct impacts (e.g., exhaustion, physical well-being, ) Indirect impacts on third parties (e.g., family, peers, society, organizations) Rebound effects (e.g., reduced creativity) - Design of personal ICT

2 Approaches to develop ICT and related services tied to the needs of individuals Design characteristics for personal ICT Publishing Opportunities in Leading Journals High quality and relevant papers from this track will be selected for fast-tracked development towards Internet Research ( Selected papers will need to expand in content and length in line with the requirements for standard research articles published in the journal. Although the track co-chairs are committed to guiding the selected papers towards final publication, further reviews may be needed before the final publication decision can be made. Internet Research (IntR) is an international and refereed journal that is indexed and abstracted in major databases (e.g., SSCI, SCI, ABI/INFORM Global), with the impact factor in Name(main contact) Organizatio n URL Short Biography Manuel Trenz Track Co-Chairs manuel.trenz@wiwi.uni-augsburg.de University of Augsburg, Germany Manuel Trenz is assistant professor of the Chair for Information Systems and Management at the University of Augsburg and research associate at the research department for " Digital Economy" of the Centre for European Economic Research (ZEW).
