Description |
 |
 |
| The Consortium will be held as a pre-conference activity on Thursday, August 6th, 2009. The primary objectives of the Consortium are to: |
- Give students an opportunity to share their research with future colleagues and receive feedback from the other students and from faculty outside the students' universities,
- Expose students to issues related to job hunting and early career professional development.
|
| The Doctoral Consortium provides an opportunity for Ph.D. students making progress on their dissertation research to share and discuss their research with peers and faculty mentors. At the Consortium students will give presentations of their current progress in developing a dissertation. Subjects to be covered in the presentations include a statement of the problem and research question(s), literature review, theory development and model, research methodology, and preliminary findings. |
| Multiple concurrent sessions (with a relatively small number of students in each) will address related topical areas or using common methodological approaches. Faculty member(s) with expertise in the topical area or methodological approach will facilitate each session. |

Application Process |
|
|
| Each application must include the following: |
| Faculty Nomination Letter |
| A faculty nomination letter must accompany each application. This letter should include two key items: |
- A description of the student's intended research area and probable research methodology must be included.
- An assessment of the candidate's chances of completing his/her dissertation and successfully participating in the job market during the Fall 2009/Spring 2010 school year. Because the consortium will have a size limitation, participants described as being likely to complete their dissertations by the end of summer 2010 will be given preference over students described as being likely to complete their dissertation further into the future.
|
|
The letter should be e-mailed directly to Tim Hill (

) with the following subject line: amcis09 consortium faculty nomination: lastname (student). |
| Doctoral Student Application Letter |
|
Please send a short e-mail stating your interest in attending the consortium along with an abstract (approximately 1 page in length) describing your paper and full contact information to Tim Hill (

Paper Submission |
|
|
|
Papers must be no longer than 5000 words (excluding figures and references) and will take the form of a dissertation proposal, including an introduction, literature review and research questions, and methodology. Students who already have a defended or draft proposal should condense it to the 5000 word limit (if necessary). |
|
Eligibility |
|
|
| Students wishing to participate in the Doctoral Consortium must meet the following criteria: |
- Students must be studying Information Systems (or a closely related discipline) and plan to address an Information Systems-related topic for their dissertation.
- Students must be on-track to complete the dissertation and participate in the job market during the Fall 2009/Spring 2010 school year (or else be finished with the dissertation by the end of summer of 2010). The faculty recommendation letter (described above) essentially certifies this intent and is required.
- Students should not be currently employed in a faculty position.
- Only one student nominee per school will normally be considered. If space remains in the consortium after considering these nominees, a second nominee will be considered for inclusion.
- Participants in the doctoral consortium must also register for the conference.

Review Procedure |
|
|
| The Consortium Chairs and outside reviewers will review each submission. The review process will focus on selecting high quality, well-constructed proposals and on identifying the most appropriate "track" for the topical and methodological area being addressed by the candidate. The overall size of the Consortium, however, is generally kept small and the quality of the proposal and the strength of the faculty recommendation are important. Students who have accepted proposals will provide a revision based on feedback from the reviewers that will be published in the conference proceedings. |
