CALL FOR PAPERS:
IT AND SMALL BUSINESS TRACK
2002 Information Resources Management Association
International Conference: http://www.irma-international.org
(Submission deadline: October 1, 2001).
May 19-22, 2002 - Renaissance Madison Hotel - Seattle, Washington, USA
CONFERENCE THEME
Issues and Trends of Information Technology Management in Contemporary
Organizations
TRACK CHAIR
Stephen Burgess
Senior Lecturer
School of Information Systems

TRACK COVERAGE
In many countries, small businesses comprise over 95% of the proportion
of private businesses and approximately half of the private workforce,
with Information technology (IT) being used in over 90% of these
businesses. Governments around the world are placing increasing
importance upon the success of small business entrepreneurs and are
providing increased resources to support this emphasis. There are a
number of key differences in the use of information technology (IT)
between small and larger businesses. These include: Small businesses
generally have fewer resources available to devote to IT; Small
businesses have very little control over forces that are external to the
organisation; Small businesses generally do not have their own separate
IT department; Small businesses generally have less formalised planning
and control procedures. Small business entrepreneurs are thus often
placed in the situation of knowing that IT can support their business in
some way, but they lack the expertise and resources to know how it can
be effectively applied.
Up until a few years ago, research into the use of IT in small
businesses was almost non existent when compared with the amount of
research being carried out for medium and large-sized businesses.
Recently, an increasing amount of research has been conducted into this
important, emerging field.
RECOMMENDED TOPICS
The purpose of this IRMA track for 2002, IT and Small Business, is to
provide a forum for a number of researchers to contribute in this
expanding research area. Areas in which contributions may be made
include (but are not limited to):
¨ Small business and the strategic use of IT
¨ Small business and IT success factors
¨ Evaluation of IT performance in small businesses
¨ Hardware and software selection in small businesses
¨ Small business and electronic commerce
¨ Small business and internet adoption
¨ IT planning methodologies in small businesses
¨ Small business and IT training
¨ Small business and IT adoption
¨ Small business and IT use across regions
¨ Government support programs for IT in small business.
SUBMISSION CATEGORIES
Papers are invited for the track on IT and Small Business in a number of
submission categories:

quality papers will be considered for further review and possible

Information Management. In addition, the best paper in terms of quality
and suitability to the theme of the conference will be awarded the Best
Paper award.

developing intelligent systems that would enable users to accomplish
complex tasks in a web-centric environment with relative ease utilizing
such technologies as intelligent agents, distributed computing in
heterogeneous environments, and computer supported collaborative work.
Designing and developing effective IIS is an inter-disciplinary
activity and hence, the purpose of this track is to bring together
researchers in related fields such as information systems, distributed
AI, intelligent agents, machine learning, collaborative work, to
explore and discuss various aspects of IIS design and implementation.
This track is intended to create a synergy between these fields, as
well as share experiences and lessons learned in deploying intelligent
systems.
