AIS SIG CCRIS

Cross-Cultural Research in Information Systems

SIG CCRIS brings together scholars and professionals interested in how cultural, social, organizational, and institutional contexts shape the development, governance, use, and consequences of information systems and digital technologies.

We are an international and interdisciplinary community supporting culture-specific, comparative, and critical research across national, regional, organizational, and societal boundaries. We encourage dialogue across diverse theoretical and methodological traditions.

Our Focus

SIG CCRIS promotes research that examines how culture intersects with information systems and digital technologies across individual, organizational, institutional, and societal contexts.

Culture & Information Systems

How cultural values, norms, identities, and practices shape technology design, adoption, use, and outcomes.

Technology in Global Contexts

Cross-cultural perspectives on AI, digital platforms, globalization, and other emerging technological environments.

Institutions & Society

Culture, power, inclusion, trust, governance, ethics, and institutional differences in the development and use of IS.

We welcome culture-specific and comparative research, as well as qualitative, quantitative, design-oriented, and critical approaches, and encourage collaboration across regions and disciplines.

Get Involved

Whether you are an established scholar, early-career researcher, doctoral student, or professional, we welcome your participation. Members can attend SIG events and conference activities, contribute papers, panels, and workshop proposals, connect with researchers across regions, and volunteer for SIG activities and leadership roles.
