ProSocietal information Systems (ProSIS): A formulation of a grand challenge for IS

摘要: Information Systems (IS) research has traditionally focused on solving small scale, although not insignificant, problems. However, the discipline has proven less effective at specifying grand challengeslarge scale problems that researchers can tackle collaboratively to create highly impactful research outcomes. To explore how grand challenges may be articulated, this paper justifies a potential grand challenge for the IS field (one of many that the field might choose to adopt), which we refer to as prosocietal information systems, or ProSIS. We then discuss a conceptual organizing framework (the
