Pacific Asia Conference on Information Systems (PACIS) 2009, Hyderabad, India
IT services in a global environment
The Centre for IT and the Networked Economy (CITNE) at the Indian School of Business (ISB) hosts the Pacific-Asia Conference 2009. The conference will take place at Hotel Novotel, Hyderabad, India on July 10-12, 2009.
The Pacific Asia Conference on Information Systems, sponsored by the Association for Information Systems (AIS) is one of its three regional conferences. A premier information systems conference in the Pacific-Asia region, PACIS serves to provide a platform to researchers and practitioners in the field of information technology to share their research findings and practices.
As the information technology (IT) function evolves into an increasingly service-oriented and global model, this conference will explore the supply and demand of IT services within and across organization and country boundaries. As organizations on the buy side are increasingly sourcing IT services in offshore locations, vendors on the sell side are also reaching far outside their domestic markets. This leads to new and interesting governance, coordination, strategic alignment and vendor management issues. These, along with other important issues germane to IT adoption and impact in emerging markets, will be discussed in a setting at the heart of the Indian IT and IT enabled services industry. As with all ISB conferences, we will invite industry leaders at the CXO level to engage with the academic community.
