Minitrack: Theoretical Approaches to IS Research

Theories are generally considered to be the bedrock of academic research. This minitrack seeks to thoroughly examine, discuss, and extend theoretical approaches used in IS research. This minitrack is looking specifically for papers on meta studies of theories used in IS research, meta studies of the IS field based on theories used, papers that develop new theories applicable to IS research, papers that extend existing theories within the context of IS research, and papers that provide a theoretical bridge between the IS field and other scientific disciplines.

Topics and research areas include, but are not limited to:
* Meta studies of theories used in IS research
* Meta studies of the IS field, based on theories used
* Papers that develop new theories applicable to IS research
* Papers that extend existing theories within the context of IS research
* Papers that provide a theoretical bridge between the IS field and other scientific disciplines
