About CWEIST

The field of information systems has a long tradition of using analytical modeling (e.g., game-theoretic and mathematical models) to study information systems phenomena and generate useful insights and recommendations. With many emerging phenomena in IS, the need for this type of applied theory research is ever greater. However, the forums for this style of inquiry are rather limited, especially for analytical modeling scholars in China and the surrounding regions. The purpose of the China Workshop on Economics of Information Systems Theory (CWEIST) is to bring together a community of scholars in China and around the world with a shared interest in the use of analytical modeling for IS and related fields. We hope this summer workshop to become a unique forum for this community to exchange ideas, hone our skills, and form new collaborations across geographical boundaries.

Pre-Workshop Consortium

The Pre-Workshop Consortium offers a unique networking and professional development opportunity for CWEIST participants. Through round table discussion guided by mentors, this event fosters an atmosphere of collaboration and offers participants valuable feedback, expanded networks, new ideas, and potential collaboration opportunities. The consortium will set up different tables with each table hosted by one or two experienced scholars as mentors. The consortium will proceed in a few sessions with participants moving to a different table after each session (while the mentors stay at the same table) to maximize networking opportunities.

We especially encourage Ph.D. students and junior faculty to participate in the Pre-workshop Consortium as it will provide an excellent opportunity for you to network with established scholars and peer participants, and allows you to quickly gather feedback and advice on your work. To make the consortium efficient, we encourage each participant to prepare a "One-Minute Elevator Pitch" about your research and a list of questions for mentors and peer participants.

The Pre-workshop consortium will start at 2 pm on June 27 and last through the afternoon. There is no submission requirement for the consortium, but you need to indicate your intent to participate in the consortium at the time of registration and there is a fee associated with the consortium (see the Registration section). Stay tuned for additional information regarding consortium mentors and the agenda.
