Globalization has historically been tied to technological innovation, and the present era of a networked information society is no different. Information systems (IS) have provided the infrastructure for multinational businesses, created new cultural connections irrespective of geographic boundaries and distances, and allowed an increasingly mobile global population to be connected to their friends, families, and cultures no matter where they are. The track welcomes submissions that relate to all aspects of global IS, or IS research situated in a global, international or cross-cultural context. The track is open to all methodological approaches and perspectives. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Research that considers the impacts of cultural values on information systems use, adoption or development * Research on global IT sourcing strategies * Cross-national and cross-cultural comparisons of IS adoption, use and development * Effects of global social computing on organizational work organization and practices * Issues relating to globally distributed teams * Issues relating to IT adoption at the national level * Issues relating to global knowledge management * Issues relating to cross-national legislation and regulation * Issues relating to global information governance * Use and impacts of IT in the context of multinational organizations * Issues relating to security in information systems that span multiple countries * Single country studies showing implications for other locations or results different from other contexts * Multi-country studies of IS adoption, use, and development Minitrack chairs will be responsible for: * promoting their minitrack to generate manuscript submissions to AMCIS 2019; * soliciting and assigning reviewers for manuscripts submitted to the minitrack; and * making recommendations to track chairs about each manuscript submitted to the minitrack.
