Entrepreneurial teaching and research in is

This panel primarily focusses on entrepreneurship in the context of IS, including the teaching and researching of entrepreneurship and the implications for Information Systems. The Information Systems literature has acknowledged the role of technologically led innovation, with particular emphasis on diffusion of innovation and technology adoption. IS has embraced emerging technologies that have come about due to entrepreneurial endeavours such as Social Media using Facebook. Yet IS research is not involved in driving new emerging technologies or if IS students are doing this, we are not highlighting or publishing research about this. The panel will cover entrepreneurship best practice, teaching style and also the implications for IS research. Entrepreneurial focussed Information Systems teaching and research is a natural progression for the IS discipline, which has made the transition from a socio-technical organisational behaviour research paradigm to embracing the role of the IT artefact through the adoption of Design Science Research (Gregor & Hevner, 2013). This panel recommends making the next step towards developing novel and innovative IT artefacts that can drive new products and services.
