New for 2012
This conference will also instigate a new conference theme regarding IS teaching cases. We invite you to submit your best teaching case and we seek to support this by providing a stream for the best cases to be presented, discussed and ideas exchanged. The focus is on the development, management and use of information technologies in business, government and non-profit contexts. We anticipate that cases will include the wider organisational, strategic and management issues, as well as the technical issues. The best cases will be considered for publication in the new Journal of Information Technology Teaching Cases (JITTC), edited by Professor Leslie Willcocks, from the London School of Economics. Cases should be a maximum of 5,000 words and should include the case objectives, comments on its use, guidance for teachers, etc, as well as a summary of the case itself.
