Objective of WISE:

The increasing organizational and economic significance of information technology (IT) has fueled rapid growth in research at the intersection of the information systems and economic disciplines. Since its founding in 1989, the annual Workshop on Information Systems and Economics (WISE) has served in promoting communication and awareness among researchers in information systems and economics. WISE has provided a forum to present current research and to discuss issues of common interest, such as relevant developments in economic theory and directions for the field.

How it works:

WISE is an invited workshop for researchers working at the intersection of information systems and economics. It is a 1-2 day workshop, in the past held each year in December and scheduled to coincide with the International Conference on Information Systems (ICIS). Preference is given to work in progress that can benefit from the feedback provided by workshop participants. The program is designed to maximize small group discussion around specific research projects.
