Digital innovation has penetrated today¡¯s society and economy. IT has substantially changed the manner in which people consume products, work in organizations, and interact with others. However, few research has explored gender differences in IT use and application. Various types of gender issues may be found in the development of digital products and services or information systmes in work places technologies are applied and employed. Some negative examples include the sexually objectified representation of women in digital games, masculine ¡°brogramming¡± culture in Silicon Valley, and cyberbullying of women, to name a few. Therefore, in order to bridge gender gaps in IS development and deployment, we need to examine the gender issues of IS in organizations and society such as gender differences in social media usage patterns, gender inequalities in technology product market, or gender divide in IS workforce. In this special issue, we call for papers exploring gender issues that can arise in work environments, digital spaces, and development of digital products and services. The topics may include but are not limited to:
• Gender oriented approach of IS research
• Gender concerns in digital spaces and cultures
• Gender gap and inequality in technological fields
• Gender related digital products and consumption
• Gender and online communities
• Gender differences in terms of IS usage pattern
• Digital capitalism and gender
• Gendered construction of software/hardware/platforms
• Gender, digital divide and digital world
• Representation of gender related technology
• The way gender and technology shape our culture and society
• The role of ICT and their consequences regarding gender

• The role of IT on inclusion and exclusion of gender in work places
• The role of ICT and gender in higher education
• The gender and identity issues regarding the rise of ICT
• Robotics and their representation of gender
• Innovative gender practices in smart work environment
