Submissions are invited for
the PACIS2004 Doctoral Consortium. The Consortium will provide
a unique opportunity for doctoral and some masters research/MPhil
students at an advanced stage in their studies, to present their
work to an audience of peers and faculty. The ideal candidate
should have chosen their theoretical approach and started their
empirical work, but have at least six months work remaining (at
the time of the Consortium) before they expect to complete their
dissertation. A friendly and constructive event is planned which
will provide valuable feedback on the Ph.D. research process. |

Patrick Chau, The University of Hong Kong, Hong
Kong
Guoqing Chen, Tsinghua University, China
