Innovation is often associated with open source in its development, process, product and how the open source community is managed and organized. Our interest concerns how innovation can be understood in open source. There are cases of community controlled and managed open source, commercial application of open source, and public organizations adopting open source to achieve their goals. We would like to see abstracts for research in the areas mentioned below (but not restricted to):
 
? Open source as fuel for innovation
? Innovating with open source in companies, governments, voluntary organizations, etc
? The dark side to open source innovation
? The business models in adoption by companies, governments, etc
? Innovation with licenses
? Open source process innovation
? Open source fueling innovation in emerging technologies such as cloud computing.

The field of Information Systems (IS) can, and should, be a source of solutions to important global problems, for example, those associated with climate change. A Special Interest Group (SIG) of the Association for Information Systems (AIS) is being proposed to bring together likeminded AIS members to discuss, develop, and promote the role of IS in the global ?green? agenda. For this workshop, we invite members of the IS community to bring their ideas on this agenda to the table and work together to scope out the area and set up a suitable roadmap for future research, practice and education.

Global sourcing of IT and business processes has demonstrated an impressive growth during the past years. However, although the multi-billion dollar global sourcing industry is developing, a number of outsourcing relationships have been underperforming or terminated early. Poor management of global sourcing relationships has often been cited as a major reason for underperformance. These results indicate a need to enhance our understanding on global sourcing management and seek for more avenues to improve its efficiency

The workshop aims to cover a wide range of topics related to global sourcing management and bring together viewpoints and approaches from different disciplines.
Some of the themes that are of specific interest for the workshop include, but are not restricted to:
? Governance of global sourcing relationships and its impact on sourcing performance.
? Trust, commitment and power in global sourcing.
? Cultural aspects of global sourcing.
? Management of innovation, knowledge and learning.
? Social capital in global sourcing arrangements.
? Retained management capabilities and people retention issues.
? Sourcing decisions, strategies and their impact on relationship management.

Important dates:
?
May 15th 2009: Deadline for the submission of abstracts (approximately 1000 words). All submissions should be sent to and with ?Global Sourcing Management Workshop? as the subject of the email.
? May 20th 2009: Notification of accepted abstracts.
?
The workshop will take place Sunday 7th of June 2009, immediately prior to the ECIS 2009 conference in Verona, Italy.
