About the Book

This book examines how information systems research and education can play a major role in contributing to solutions to the Societal Grand Challenges formulated in “The Millennium Project” (millenium-project.org). 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.

Table of Contents:
How can sustainable development be achieved for all while addressing global climate change?.- ICT-Applications to align global resources with a growing population.- How can Information systems help to make policymaking be more sensitive to global long-term perspectives?.- Making the global convergence of ICT available for everyone.- How can the capacity to decide be improved as the nature of work and institutions change?.- The role of information technologies in changing the status of women to improve human conditions.- How can transnational organized crime networks be stopped from becoming more powerful and sophisticated global enterprises?.- How can growing energy demands be met safely and efficiently?.- How can scientific and technological breakthroughs be accelerated to improve the human condition?.- Global Challenges for humanity: How can ethical considerations become more routinely incorporated into global decisions?.
