PREFACE

The IRIS21 Conference is to be held in Sæby, Denmark on August 8 to August 11, 1998.

The IRIS (Information systems Research In Scandinavia) began in 1978 as an annual working seminar for Scandinavian researchers in information systems. Over the years we have been happy to see an increasing number of participants both from within and from outside Scandinavia. After its first few meetings in Finland, the seminar now alternates between the Scandinavian countries.

The IRIS Conference has several purposes. The conference is first of all an arena for Scandinavian researchers to meet and to exchange research iseas and results. It is a place with a very open intellectual climate based on a uniquely long history of IS research. The IRIS Conference is one of the oldest annual conferences in the world within information systems.

IRIS 21 is a working conference. This means that the success of the conference largely depends on the active involvement of the participants.

This is the first year where the conference is arranged in collaboration with the new IRIS Association. This is reflected in the ambition that the conference should be a forum for all IS researchers in the scandinavian countries and some of their non-Scandinavian colleagues. The organisers have tried to be innovative and this year will see a number of new ideas on trial. To facilitate this there will be: keynote addresses, programme statements from new scandinavian full professors, parallel sessions withworkshops and paper presentations, andcondensed working groups where submitted papers are given critical feed-back.

Without a specific theme for this year there will be a particular focus on research in collaboration with industry. It is our impression that much Scandinavian IS research is conducted together with industrial partners. We therefore strongly encourage paper and workshop submissions related to this area in general, but also with emphasis of: funding, research approach and methodology, relationship between university and industry, research results, and implications for IS research.

73 research papers were submitted and reviewed. 68 of these are published in the proceedings. It has always been the purpose of IRIS to provide feedback to research papers in the working groups, in particular to papers written by younger researchers. The reviewing of papers for IRIS started in 1994 at IRIS 17. Until then all papers were accepted. The primary purpose of reviewing the papers is not to reject papers (though some are eventually rejected). The purpose is rather provide authors with written feedback even before conference.
