Description

John Naisbitt, in his book, Global Paradox, says "the bigger the world economy, the more powerful its smaller players." Big international companies are deconstructing themselves and creating new structures to survive in the new world order. Concepts like reengineering, rightsizing, network organizations and the virtual corporation are fast becoming the common theme in business practice. International strategic alliances are also on the increase based on the notion that no single company and no single country can alone be a successful player in the new global game. The organizational applications and managerial implications of these technology resources warrant a forum for the discussion of these issues. The Journal of Global Information Management (JGIM) has an important role to play in providing such a forum for researchers and practitioners to share leading-edge knowledge in the global information resource management area.

Reviews and Testimonials

"The world's economy is rapidly growing with trade between nations and regions. Organizations are moving from domestic to multinational and global. No other publication has for almost 20 years been studying the role of information systems in enabling global commerce and enabling multinational organizations as they move to worldwide activity. This publication also has presented numerous views of the interaction between information systems and culture for nations, organizations, and individuals."
- Fred Niederman, Saint Louis University, USA

"Information management and information technology management are no question getting more and more global. Important issues for both research and practice include IT (off-shoring) outsourcing, global supply chain, and globally distributed work, to name a few. JGIM offers an important and critical platform for researchers and practitioners to present and discuss their experiences and perspectives on these important issues. I highly recommend this journal to my students who are interested in knowing and understanding global information management."
- Patrick Chau, The University of Hong Kong, China

Topics Covered

The journal accepts submissions in the following categories:

*Research Article - Contributions to this section are full research papers. The research must be complete and make substantial theoretical and/or empirical contributions to knowledge in the field. Papers using various theoretical and methodological approaches are invited.

*Research Note - This section welcomes research that is novel and complete but not as comprehensive as to qualify as a full research paper, e.g., exploratory studies and methodological papers. Rigor and quality are still essential in this section.

*Research Review - Reviews should be insightful and carefully crafted articles that conceptualize research areas and synthesize prior research. Research review articles must provide new insights that advance our understanding of the research areas, and help in identifying and developing future research directions. Research review articles can be between 3000-8000 words.

Authors are encouraged to submit manuscripts that are consistent to the following submission themes:

(a) Cross-National Studies. These need not be cross-culture per se. These studies lead to understanding of IT as it leaves one nation and is built/bought/used in another. Generally, these studies bring to light transferability issues and they challenge if practices in one nation transfer (and if they don’t, they shed light on how or why not).

(b) Cross-Cultural Studies. These need not be cross-nation. Cultures could be across regions that share a similar culture. They can also be within nations (subcultures, ethnicities, etc.). These studies lead to understanding of IT as it leaves one culture and is built/bought/used in another. Generally, these studies bring to light transferability issues and they challenge if practices in one culture transfer (and if they don’t, they shed light on how or why not).

(c) Single nation studies from under-represented nations. The idea here is to look at existing literature from the better represented nations and compare it to the fi ndings in the under-represented nation. If you don’t have data coming from multiple cultures or nations, then the idea is to basically have the same effect via the existing literature compared to the single nation dataset.

(d) Studies of the development, implementation, management and use of IT in multinational, transnational, inter-national and global organizations.
