However, a major impediment to its widespread adoption is uncertainty within organizations as to how to address and formulate strategies for the dynamically developing challenges it presents. Although current research still draws very heavily on Information Systems and Marketing, there is important and innovative work being undertaken in disciplines as widely varying as sociology, anthropology, politics, economics, management, law, computer science, engineering, architecture, health sciences and history. Hence, the conference aim is initially to map a range of perspectives and then to propose a dynamic research agenda that will encourage and support broader, multi-disciplinary research. Location Salzburg Research Institute Submissions Submissions are invited on any issue relating and contributing to the conference theme and objectives. Submissions will be refereed.
Research papers providing multi-disciplinary perspectives on the conference theme are welcome.
Papers may illustrate the importance of a multi-disciplinary approach as a result of a narrow research focus having been adopted. Research papers dealing with the challenges of a dynamic and rapidly changing research subject are very welcome. The Committee also welcomes frameworks that organize the area of study. Accepted papers will be preprinted for the conference with formal proceedings being published after the event. Panels are required to generate active discussion on key issues related to the conference theme.
