Background
In the current economic downturn, managers and academics in the IS discipline continue to contemplate over
the critical challenges of how to integrate technologies to transform organisational performance within
emerging economies. While striving to meet such an objective, organisations need to consider responsible
management in the adoption and implementation of IT. Regardless of numerous research studies offering
significant empirical findings, the area of sustainability and responsible management in Information
Technology and Information Systems (IT/IS) is currently at the forefront and a priority for practitioners and top
managers in both private and public sectors. Stakeholders (including citizens/customers, businesses etc)
anticipate private and public sector organisations to furnish IS solutions that go beyond efficiency,
effectiveness and focus more on sustainability facilitated by responsible management. EMCIS 2012 aims to
exploit and help develop the array of different initiatives at national and international levels.

The EMCIS conference committee takes this opportunity to extend an invitation to academics and
th
practitioners in the field of IS and Business Management to submit their paper for its 9 annual conference
