Individual chapters focus on specific challenges, review existing approaches and contributions towards solutions in information systems research and outline a research agenda for these challenges. The topics considered in this volume range from climate change, population growth, global ICT availability, breakthroughs in science and technology and energy demand to ethical decision-making, policymaking, gender status and transnational crime prevention. It is the first book to present ideas on how the Information Systems discipline can contribute to the solution on this wide spectrum of grand societal challenges.SpringerBriefs in Information Systems,2192-4929Information technologyBusiness—Data processingManagement information systemsComputer scienceSustainable developmentEducational sociology Education and sociologyIT in Businesshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/522000Management of Computing and Information Systemshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I24067Sustainable Developmenthttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U34000Sociology of Educationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22070Information technology.Business—Data processing.Management information systems.Computer science.Sustainable development.Educational sociology .Education and sociology.IT in Business.Management of Computing and Information Systems.Sustainable Development.Sociology of Education.303.4833vom Brocke Janauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1064042Stein Arminauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autHofmann Saraauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autTumbas Sanjaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910298499103321Grand Societal Challenges in Information Systems Research and Education2536084UNINA
