Theme
Information technology has undoubtedly become a ubiquitous technological underpinning to communication and collaboration that permeates our personal and professional lives. Recent developments in social media, commons-based peer production, and information infrastructuring emphasize this more than ever. The society of today is an interactive society shaped by ever-increasing participation in online conversations. The digitization of society’s information and communication structures has fundamentally changed everyday life, economy, business and society. Internet and mobile technology has made information and services, accessible by all regardless of time and place, taken for granted. Globalization and new open forms of collaboration continue to change the playing field at an ever-increasing rate. Although the rapid evolution of the information society is shaped by digital technology and media convergence, contemporary societal processes of openness, responsibility, democratization and global communication are also shaping that very same technology. How then, can information systems as an academic, yet pragmatic discipline contribute to this endeavor – to designing the interactive society? The Scandinavian IS tradition with its emphasis on engaged scholarship, action research and socially embedded design should have a lot to contribute to this journey, should it not? Since the proof of the research pudding is in the writing, we invite innovative contributions with the potential to further shape our understanding of IT in contemporary society and beyond. Think. IS. Do.
