EMCIS2007 Doctoral (PhD) Consortium

EMCIS2007 in Valencia will again be running a PhD consortium for the research students present at the conference. The purpose of the consortium, which will be on the afternoon of Tuesday 26 June is to give you the chance to meet other research students and to discuss your work. Rather than thinking of it as another place to present papers think of it as a Master-class in research methods and planning.

To give some structure to the session several research students will be asked to present a brief resume of their research plan - focusing in particular how you are setting about the research.

If you wish to offer your project as one of the ones to be presented for discussion you need to submit a brief outline and supporting letter for review by Friday 25 May 2007 (see below). The deadline is close to the conference to ensure that the discussion is relevant to the current stage you have reached within your research. Project selection will be based on the clarity of the outline and the ability to stimulate a good discussion during the consortium. You will be informed of the projects selected for presentation by email on Friday the 25 May 2007.

I look forward to meeting you all in Valencia.

Pedro Soto Acosta, Gerry Urwin and Tony Elliman
Doctoral Consortium co-Chairs

Project Outline

Your outline should focus on research design - how you plan to carryout the research - rather than the value or results of research that has already been done. If you are using multiple methods for data triangulation then it may be best to focus on just one of the methods you plan to uses. The outline should make clear the research hypothesis being investigated, and then set out the specific method of investigation and the data analysis techniques you plan to use. The more specific you are in setting out the plan the more useful any discussion can be in helping you develop your work.

Eligibility and Submission

Students wishing to participate and present work in the Doctoral Consortium must meet the following criteria:

  • Students must be studying Information Systems (or a closely related discipline) and plan to address an Information Systems-related topic for their thesis.
  • Students should have established their area of research and they should be making satisfactory progress towards the submission of a thesis.
  • Students should not be currently employed in a faculty position.
  • Students must be registered for the conference or PhD consortium.

A Project Outline AND a Supporting Letter should be submitted by email to psoto@um.es  on or before Friday 25 May 2007.

Project Outlines should be prepared as MS Word or PDF files. The outline should consist of a single page (not more than 600 words) describing the project and the research activities planned. The text should be in Times 10pt with 2cm margins.

You may add a page showing a flowchart of the research activities and up to two pages containing a survey design, interview agenda or observation or visit schedule if you would like to get feedback on the details.

Supporting Letters from a senior faculty member (Professor, Reader or equivalent) are required to confirm that the student is enrolled in the institution and meets the eligibility criteria above. It must state clearly the student's area of research and confirm that they have reached a stage in their programme where they have a good knowledge of the relevant background. It should also include an assessment of the student's likely completion date.

Presentation

If you are invited to present your work in the colloquium you will need to register for the conference (or consortium) and prepare some slides to support your presentation. The presentation should be short, 8 to 10 minutes at most, so that there is ample time for discussion. Think in terms of the following slides:

  • A title slide - Name, Title and what the project is about
  • One slide with the hypothesis you want to investigate
  • 2 to 5 slides covering your current research plan and methodology
Prepare your slides a PowerPoint file using the Microsoft PowerPoint slide layout style Notebook.pot and bring it on CD or flash memory to the conference registration desk before the coffee break on the Tuesday morning. For those students with confirmed registrations all their slides will be available on one computer so we don't have to keep changing computers around during the colloquium.


They should provide sufficient detail to indicate clearly the industry or research context and objectives, selected methodology or case studies, and the final outcome/lessons for enterprises and policy developers.

Potential contributors should note that the conference will attract a mixture of industry practitioners, academics and public sector representatives and should address the style and content of their paper accordingly. Presentations will focus on addressing the interests and needs of this diverse audience. Practical applications guided by good theory, success stories, ‘learning experiences’ and integrative approaches will be delivered in plenary sessions and specialized themes.

The full contact details (postal address, telephone, fax and e-mail) of the corresponding author and the individual(s) who will present the paper if accepted, should appear on the first page of the paper. All submissions must comply with the following schedule and must choose between each track; technical, human, organisational.

EMCIS2007 Tracks

Organisational Issues in MIS:
Information systems require considerable contribution, commitment and care to achieve their full potential. Effective and efficient technological transfer often requires constant alteration of working practices and organisational change far beyond initial expectation. Participants are encouraged to present their research on theories, concepts, methodologies and tools from both management and IS to identify cases of success, or impact of Management Information Systems on organisations and markets.

Technical Issues in MIS:
The ever expanding range of information and communication technologies has a major role in the development of management information systems that manage to achieve business objectives. Researchers are invited to critique prevailing technologies and discuss their application theories of organisations and organisational change development and transformation, and the role of Information Systems Development (ISD) within them. Such themes include but are not limited:

Human Issues in MIS:
The vision for an internet-worked information society and 24x7X365 commerce has sprung a plethora of attempts for electronic service delivery systems that give direct access to information, services and knowledge; Therefore increasing the associated complexity both for implementation and integration of these components. Management information systems are developed within organisational environments where there are heavily influenced by a plethora of socio-technical factors that are often indirect in nature. EMCIS welcomes multi-disciplinary research on MIS that contributes to the greater understanding of the human domain.
