Call for Nominations

The Pacific Asia Conference on Information Systems (PACIS) invites nominations for the Doctoral Consortium to be held at the Indian School of Business (ISB), Hyderabad, India on July 8-9, 2009. Universities are invited to each nominate one candidate for the consortium. Eligible candidates are students who are currently enrolled as Ph.D. candidates in Information Systems, who have developed a plan for pursuing their dissertation, and would benefit from constructive feedback from expert faculty.

The PACIS Doctoral Consortium aims to provide doctoral students in the field of information systems with an opportunity to share their research ideas with other doctoral students and scholars. The consortium will provide students with opportunities to receive high quality feedback and support for their academic work. It will also enable students to network and collaborate with eminent professors and researchers from universities across the globe. Faculty participating are associated with leading institutions in the United States and the Asia-Pacific area, and serve in senior editorial positions in the field’s top journals. This Doctoral Consortium will be a significant event for emerging IS researchers in the Asia Pacific region.

The consortium will include discussion and panel sessions on July 8 and 9, 2009.

Eligibility

• PhD students who are currently working on a doctoral dissertation in Information Systems, and whose research has progressed to the point where a clear plan of investigation has been laid out, but where there is sufficient scope for changes to this plan based on feedback from the consortium.
   

• The ideal consortium candidate should have chosen a theoretical approach and initiated planning or implementation of any empirical or experimental work, but should have at least six months of work remaining at the time of the consortium.
   

• The language of the consortium is English. The nominated candidates must be sufficiently proficient in English to participate in the consortium in this language.
   

• Participation is not restricted to students from the Asia-Pacific region: we invite nominations from any university internationally that has a Ph.D. program in IS.

Nomination Process

1. Students must be nominated by an IS faculty member. The nomination should comprise:
    

   • A nomination letter from either the director of the IS doctoral program, the IS department’s chairperson, or the candidate’s thesis/dissertation advisor certifying that that the candidate is the sole nominee from the university/institution, and that the candidate meets the eligibility criteria mentioned above.
      

   • A completed Nomination Information sheet (available via this link).
      

   • A short paper of 2000 words, summarizing the student’s dissertation proposal. This paper should provide the research question, a justification of why and to whom the research is important, a brief literature review, the theoretical basis for the work, a research model and set of hypotheses (if applicable), and a description of the research design.
      

2. The deadline for nominations is April 15, 2009.
    

3. The nomination document (one document containing the nomination letter, nomination information sheet and the short paper) should be submitted online as either a Microsoft Word or Adobe PDF document via the 'Submit Paper' page of the PACIS 2009.

Selection Process
The Doctoral Consortium Co-Chairs will assess the submitted nominations on the basis of the rigor, relevance, the potential contribution the student can make to the consortium, and the potential benefit the consortium can have on the student’s research. The Consortium will include a balanced mix of students representing diverse research topics, methods, schools and cultures. Accepted candidates will be notified on or before May 15, 2009.

Consortium Proceedings
Accepted proposals will be published as papers in the PACIS 2009 Doctoral Consortium Proceedings.
