Abstract
In this Special Issue, we present some of the important research work curated from the internationally renowned Hawaii International Conference on Systems Science (2019). We take note of the call to action by Petter, Carter, Randolph, and Lee (2018) in the editorial titled "Desperately Seeking the Information in Information Systems Research." In their editorial, the authors highlight the embrace of the technology artifact in IS research at the expense of "abandonment of that other central component in information systems research - information" (p. 10). Petter et al. argue not to "overlook the role of information" and highlight the necessity to study it in an era of analytics, algorithmic decision making, and fake news.
