Dear members of the SIG Sourcing,

we have a great event upcoming at ICIS: "From the Editors: When IS sourcing research meets practice."

 

We invite you to register for the event via the ICIS registration page. Please find attached an information flyer that you are invited to share with colleagues or practitioners who might be interested in participating.

 

Detailed Event Information:

The SIG on Advances in Sourcing will hold a pre-ICIS workshop on December 15th, 2019, from 2.00 pm to 5.00 pm in Room 4a/4b of the International Congress Center Munich. Find a flyer here.


Featuring: Keynote be Peter Schumacher (President, CEO, and Founder - Value Leadership Group) and our distinguished editorial panelists Professor Rajiv Sabherwal, Professor Anand Gopal and Professor Ilan Oshri, and early career IS researcher Professor Oliver Krancher.

This short workshop aims to bring together junior and senior IS scholars who share interests in studying sourcing-related topics.

We will start from a keynote by Peter Schumacher (President, CEO, and Founder - Value Leadership Group) about most recent technology trends and how these transformations have affected the IS sourcing practice. This will be followed by an editorial panel of seasoned and highly experienced editors, namely Rajiv Sabherwal, Anand Gopal, and Ilan Oshri, who will share their editorial experience in managing sourcing-related papers submitted to the top IS journals. This editorial panel discussion will be guided by the questions of the workshop participants.

We will also have the opportunity to learn about the journey of one of the most recent sourcing papers published in an FT50 outlet (JMIS) by a junior IS scholar - Professor Oliver Krancher. Finally, this event will provide a networking opportunity for junior and senior scholars, and for those who share not only research but also teaching interests on sourcing-related topics.

 

We look forward to seeing you in Munich!

 

Best regards,

Thomas Huber (on behalf of the SIG Sourcing Team)
