Special Section: The Transformative Value of Cloud Computing: A Decoupling, Platformization, and Recombination Theoretical Framework

ABSTRACT This introduction provides an overview to this special section and reports on the third Journal of Information Systems Conference (JISC 2018) held March 15 and 16, 2018 in Durham, NC. The conference was jointly sponsored by the AAA Accounting Information Systems (AIS) section and the Association of International Certified Professional Accountants (AICPA). This JIS research will help advance cloud computing research related to the domain of accounting information systems. The conference included seven research papers with related industry discussant feedback, three cloud industry keynote speakers, and three panels of practitioners and researchers to discuss the impact of the emergence and rapid maturing of cloud computing services. This editors' introduction outlines the major research paper topics represented in this special section, briefly introduces each paper, and highlights their main contributions. A comprehensive report on the full JISC 2018 conference is provided in the cloud commentary paper included in this special section.

Do So

Abstract Living in a globalised world, with its inherent easier movement of people between nations, imposes new challenges for representative democracy and for party politics specifically. Political parties have traditionally operated at a domestic level, yet, with the large number of people moving around the globe, this is now changing. This special section, deriving from a workshop on the topic, is one of the first attempts to systematically address this issue. It offers a theoretical framework and five empirical studies on the party abroad. The collection provides evidence of varied levels of existence of the party abroad in different contexts. It illustrates that the party abroad as a new modus operandi for parties that exist in all corners of the world; yet, it is most distinctly developed where the electoral stimuli and the type and size of the diaspora group give strategic incentive to political parties to do so.
