Minitrack: Social Issues in Information Technology


Social issues in organizations represents one of the most often discussed underpinnings in information systems research throughout the tenure of the IS field. Social issues are those research topics most aligned with the human factor in terms of information systems planning, development and utilization.

This minitrack includes all aspects of social issues that are impacted by information technology affecting organizations and inter-organizational structures. This would include the conceptualization of specific social issues and their associated constructs, proposed designs and infrastructures, empirical validation of social models, and case studies illustrating socialization success and failures. Some key topics may include: (1) ethics, (2) culture, (3) relationships, (4) human interaction, (5) security, and (6) design.
