CALL FOR BOOK CHAPTERS
Chapter proposals submission deadline: November 30, 2001, Full chapter
submission deadline: April 1, 2002
ORGANIZATIONAL DATA MINING:
LEVERAGING ENTERPRISE DATA RESOURCES FOR OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE
A book Edited by: Hamid Nemati and Christopher Barko, The University of
North Carolina at Greensboro
The recent economic conditions have created a challenging yet
opportunistic competitive environment for organizations. This ruthless
environment of demanding customers, increased sophistication and rampant
globalization compels successful companies to remove inefficiencies and
leverage key corporate assets. In recent years organizations have
realized the value of data as a critical corporate asset and the
essential role it performs. Organizational Data Mining (ODM) is defined
as leveraging organizational data, information and knowledge assets to
acquire and maintain a competitive advantage. Understanding ODM requires
assimilating insights from a variety of fields into a comprehensive and
fundamental framework that supports an organizations quest for a
competitive advantage. This is the essence of Organizational Data
Mining (ODM). ODM is therefore the confluence of advances in Business
Strategy, Organizational Learning and Knowledge Management,
Informational Sciences, and Decision Support Systems that offer
organizations an indispensable decision-enhancing process to optimize
resource allocation and exploit new opportunities by transforming data
into valuable and actionable knowledge. This book is about how
organizations use data to gain a competitive advantage. It resulted
from the observation that data mining is gaining greater acceptance
within organizations and delivering colossal benefits, yet there are few
scholarly books devoted to exploration of both the organizational and
technical factors of data mining.
RECOMMENDED TOPICS
This edited peer reviewed scholarly book seeks original contributions
that explore a wide range of issues addressing all aspects of ODM.
Manuscripts ranging from conceptual frameworks to case studies and
empirical research are encouraged. Acceptable topics will include (but
are not limited to) any of the following topics as related to ODM:
Research frameworks, methods, methodologies, architectures, and
infrastructure issues in the design, implementation and maintenance of
ODM projects and initiatives; Technical and organizational issues in the
design, implementation and maintenance of processes that generate,
share, use, disseminate and protect organizational data, information and
knowledge; Issues surrounding the articulation and communication of the
purpose and the nature of ODM and connecting it to other strategic and
operational initiatives and activities of the organization; Strategic
implications of ODM; Organizational learning; Decision support systems;
Knowledge management; Data warehousing; Data mining tools, technologies
and algorithms; Artificial Intelligence in Organizations; Knowledge
discovery from databases; Web and E-commerce integration, strategies and
challenges; Technical and database challenges in ODM; Measuring ODM
effectiveness; Organizational, managerial, personnel, cultural,
procedural and political issues in ODM; Global and cultural aspects and
considerations in ODM; Case studies in all aspects of ODM; and ODM
future trends.

Subject: DIGIT deadline for submissions extended to Sept. 28
Date: Tue, 18 Sep 2001 12:26:27 -0400
From: "Seligman, Larry (SELIGML)" <SELIGML(a)UCMAIL.UC.EDU>
To: ISWORLD(a)LISTSERV.HEANET.IE
We are told that the events of last week understandably have made it
difficult for some who wished to submit papers or panel proposals to meet
the September 15th deadline for this year's DIGIT Workshop. We therefore
have extended this deadline to September 28th. The following is a copy of
the CFP.
---
DIGIT -- 2001 Workshop Announcement and Call For Papers, Panels and
Mini-Tutorials
Diffusion Interest Group in Information Technology
---Workshop Announcement---
A pre-ICIS workshop of people interested in information technology adoption
and diffusion will be held on Sunday, December 16, 2001 from 10:00 a.m. to
5:00 p.m. in New Orleans, Louisiana. The workshop will include 2-3 one-hour
research paper presentations and 2-3 panel discussions and/or
mini-tutorials.
Faculty members and doctoral students are encouraged to attend and submit
papers, panel proposals, and/or mini-tutorial proposals. The deadline for
submission of papers is September 28, 2001. Notification of acceptance or
rejection will be made by November 1, 2001. See the CFP below for more
details.
It is not necessary to submit a paper in order to attend DIGIT. Lunch and
refreshments will be provided to attendees. In order to foster the workshop
atmosphere that has developed in previous meetings, registration will again
be limited to 30 people. For information about past DIGIT workshops, please
see <http://www.mis.temple.edu/digit/>.
---Call for Papers, Panels, and Mini-Tutorials---
We are interested in receiving papers related to information technology
adoption and diffusion. In the interest of discussing the most current
research in this area, working papers are encouraged as well as more
complete papers. Papers dealing with the adoption and/or diffusion of
information technology at the individual, work group, or organizational
level are invited.
All submissions will be blind reviewed. Papers should not have been
published previously in a proceedings or journal, nor be under review
elsewhere, but may be submitted elsewhere after the DIGIT meeting. At least
one author will register and attend the workshop to present the paper if the
work is accepted.
The objective of the panels is to attract controversial and/or novel
perspectives (both theoretical and methodological) on information technology
adoption and diffusion topics. Ideally, the panelists should espouse
diverse yet complementary perspectives on their topic.
Mini-tutorials should focus on potentially relevant methods and theories for
adoption and diffusion research.
---Instructions for Contributors---

Subject: JECR CFP "Exchange Relationship in the Digital Economy"
Date: Tue, 18 Sep 2001 13:19:41 -0400
From: Lakshmi Iyer <lsiyer(a)uncg.edu>
To: ISWORLD(a)LISTSERV.HEANET.IE
JOURNAL OF ELECTRONIC COMMERCE RESEARCH
(SPECIAL ISSUE, May 2002)
Call for Papers
"Exchange Relationship in the Digital Economy"
(http://elvis.uncg.edu/bae/lsiyer/jecr/JECR_cfp.htm)
The rapid proliferation of Electronic Commerce in the form of B2C, B2B
Marketplaces, C2C (Consumer to Consumer) as well as development and use
of Extranets connecting firms with their partners (suppliers and
customers) has given rise to various forms of exchange relationships in
the digital environment. These exchange relationships are likely to be
of varied duration with some built around a few exchanges over a short
period of time, as in B2C and C2C environment, to some that are built
around exchanges transpiring over a long period of time as in some B2B
Marketplace and through Extranets (with partners).
Understanding the forms of these exchange relationships are crucial to
gaining insight into the types of initiatives and actions that firms
should undertake to maximize the return on their investments in
Electronic Commerce related activities. The initiation, nurturing,
development and maintenance of these various forms of exchange
relationships are complex partly because of the evolving nature of the
underlying technology as well as the complex interaction between what is
afforded by the digital environment and the constraints, limitations and
advantages offered by the traditional market environment. Hence, the
purpose of this call for papers in the Special Issue of the Journal of
Electronic Commerce Research is to invite original research papers
investigating the Exchange Relationships in the Digital Economy.
Possible topics for papers (theoretical or empirical) submitted to the
special issue include but are not limited to:
* Models explicating the various forms of exchange relationship in the
B2C, B2B Marketplaces and in the C2C context
* The forms of exchange relationship possible and afforded by the
digital environment between a firm and its business partners
* Factors such as specific characteristics of B2C, B2B Marketplace, C2C
that may affect the development of some forms of exchange relationship
and not others
* Factors facilitating and determining the formation of these various
types of exchange relationships in the digital environment
* Role of Trust in various forms of exchange relationship in the digital
economy
* Exchange relationships built around collaborative advantage in the
digital environment
* Factors affecting and facilitating the initiation, nurturing,
development and maintenance of various forms of exchange relationship in
the digital environment
* Competitive advantage afforded by these exchange relationships in the
digital environment
* Role of privacy, information security, information sharing, knowledge
transfer and sharing in exchange relationships in the digital
environment

TRACK DESCRIPTION:
Information Technology has been employed by governments almost since
its inception. Without IT, modern public administration as we know it
would be impossible. Some say that even with IT, governments are out
of control, oppressive, and inefficient. Clearly IT supports
multinational, international and global systems that in a sense
counter the traditional roles of governments of states. This track
wishes to explore innovative, useful employment of IT in a variety of
ways, with the emphasis on development, that is improvement, of the
life of citizens and residents of countries, within a global context.
We welcome papers that explore the usefulness of IT with regard not
only to the daily functioning of government, but also to the
redefinition of government in a post-modern era. The papers will
explore the relationships among government, its citizens, and its
clients (not all of whom are citizens or even residents). Because IT
is seen as a low-cost effective way to modernize the processes of
countries relegated to "third-world" status, it is critical to
understand what kind of contribution IT and IT people can possibly
make to that effort. If, indeed, social and economic development is
seen as dependent on the development of democratic institutions in
third-world countries, then what implication does the availability of
IT have on this effort and hence on development? Even in presumably
"developed" countries, there are pockets (and often whole regions) of
poverty and ill-representation. Can IT assist here? And if so, how?
What tools do we have available to evaluate the contribution of
development to the administration of countries with long-standing --
sometimes endemic -- development contradictions such as tribal
conflict, racial and linguistic disputes, disproportionate class
differences, multiple economies, and geographic barriers to
distribution? How do we integrate and rationalize national
IT-assisted development efforts with potentially conflicting global
trends, also driven by IT? How can IT assist the integration of
third-world countries into first-world global projects in areas such
as counteracting terrorism, promoting free trade, regulating global
business, and encouraging world-wide justice?
RECOMMENDED TOPICS
Papers (completed or in-progress: about 20 double spaced
pages), extended abstracts (completed or in-progress research: about
4-6 pages), panel and workshop proposals (2-4 pages) dealing with (but
not limited to) the following topics are invited. Please note the
name of this track on the cover page.
The following topics are recommended and encouraged, although any
topic consistent with the goal of the session(s) will be considered
with appreciation:
Evaluation of the role of IT in national government
Stresses and strains on government posed by the new media, the new
technologies and the new economy
Integration of national governments into global governmental
systems.
Marginalisation of third-world countries by IT and e-commerce
Innovative uses of IT in national administration
Using IT to promote democratic values and institutions IT-caused or
ameliorated contradictions between national government and global
systems
International systems, local government, and IT
Electronic government and its implications for developing countries
IT-assisted development in already-developed countries The digital
divide in the first world, second world, third world Geographical
distribution of IT in third-world countries
