Program & Format:

This worshop is intended to discuss current unpublished work or new research topics. Work presented at WISE should not also be presented at the 2002 International Conference on Information Systems (ICIS). The workshop is expected to consist of sessions per paper, which will follow a presentation-discussion-rebuttal-open discussion format. The workshop may also include panel discussions and keynote addresses by distinguished researchers in the fields of information systems and economics.

Submissions:

The WISE 2002 submission period for abstracts is now closed but you may still register for the conference.

Participation:

Due to its highly interactive workshop nature, the number of WISE participants is limited. Priority will be given to presenters in this year's program, and participants in prior WISE programs. Due to the expected high demand for the limited number of presentation slots, individuals will be limited to a single presentation opportunity.

Areas of Interest:

All aspects of theory and research in information systems that are related to economic theory or methodology are appropriate for this workshop. Specific areas of interest include:

• Information economics and the value of information in decision making.
• Information technology and industrial organization.
• Supply and demand of IT.
• Business value measurement and the strategic impacts of IT.
• Economic models for the impact of IT on organizations and markets, and the boundary of the firm.
• Technology adoption and diffusion from an economic perspective.
• The economics of the Internet and electronic commerce.
• Contracting and agency theoretic issues in IT management.
• Econometric models of information systems development and maintenance: evaluation of new tools and methodologies, measures of productivity and other economic impacts.
• Public policy issues.
