About PACIS ‘09
The Centre for IT and the Networked Economy (CITNE) at
the Indian School of Business, Hyderabad will host the
Pacific Asia Conference on Information Systems 2009. Backed
by a strong conference committee, the emergence of India as
a global powerhouse in IT and IT enabled services, the city
of Hyderabad as a key ICT hub and the Indian School of
Business’ strong commitment to ICT research as the engine of
growth in this part of the world, CITNE@ISB was unanimously
chosen as the venue for PACIS 2009.
Conference Theme – "IT Services in a Global
Environment"
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.
