Students will receive support and inspiration from their peers, and they will enjoy the opportunity to discuss their research and career objectives with senior members of the community from outside their institution. Students will present and discuss their research directions in the context of an established international conference outside of their usual university environment. The DC sessions are scheduled in parallel with workshop sessions affiliated with the ADBIS conference on the 1-st of September. Each participant will have an opportunity to present her/his research, followed by discussion with and comments by senior researchers. In addition, a poster session will be held during the main conference. Each participant of the Doctoral Consortium is supposed to present her/his research during the poster session, thus increasing the exposure of the research and engaging in discussions with senior members of the research community. ELIGIBILITY +++++++++++ We seek Ph.D. student participants who have either determined the direction of their thesis research (probably with some preliminary results already published), but who still have substantial work to complete, or Ph.D. student participants who are in the early stages of their dissertation year. Please note that it is not required to have a paper accepted for the main conference in order to participate in the Doctoral Consortium. SUBMISSIONS +++++++++++ To submit your application to the Doctoral Consortium please prepare the following documents: 1. Research statement: summarize the problem, proposed plan, and progress to date. (*max 2 pages*) 2. Curriculum Vitae including the expected graduation date. (*max 1 page*) 3. Advisor's support: a short email from the thesis advisor stating support for the student's participation in the Doctoral Consortium, describing the current status of the thesis research, and giving the expected date of graduation. Optionally, you may submit the following documents: 4. One first-authored paper (this will appear in the proceedings of DC) 5. Name of paper submitted to ADBIS 2013, if applicable When submitting your proposal please put items 1,2,4,5 into a single pdf file, and submit it via the website ********************** https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/ADBIS2013 ********************** Item 3 should be emailed to the co-chairs Alfons Kemper (kemper(a)in.tum.de) and Boris Novikov (borisnov(a)acm.org) directly. REVIEW PROCESS ++++++++++++++ The papers for DC (item 4 above) should be at most 6 pages in Springer format (formatting instructions can be obtained via http://www.springer.com/series/11156) and describe the state of the whole PhD project, rather than a specific completed result. The paper should outline the objectives, the problem, state of the art, results obtained so far, and what is still to be done in the frame of the PhD project. If an author prefers to present a completed research result, the paper should be submitted to the main conference or one of accompanying workshops. The papers submitted to the DC will be reviewed by a PC and the authors of successful submissions must take into account reviewer's comments during the preparation of final version and describe the changes in a separate document to be submitted together with the final camera-ready version. The program committee reserves a right to reject a paper if the final version does not meet the requirements above. Selection of participants who did not submit a DC paper (item 4) will be based on the clarity of the submitted materials and the student's stage of research. We will also take institutional representation into account in order to provide a truly diverse environment for research presentation and discussion. Applications not adhering to the provided guidelines (including page limits) may not be considered. PROCEEDINGS +++++++++++ The DC papers will be published together with ADBIS workshops proceedings, by Springer in the Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing series.

This increased diversity and lack of shared perspectives on quality represents a risk to the IS field.Research that represents a contribution to the IS field is subject to the risk of inappropriate rejection (essentially a type II error) if reviewers apply an inappropriate standard to determine the quality of the research.The IS field which is still struggling for identify, risks not publishing research contributions or missing out if the research is published under a different discipline. The need to examine and debate what constitutes research quality and best practice, particularly across approaches, motivates this mini-track.This mini-track intends to foster discussion related to difficult and controversial issues related to determining research quality. We encourage authors to submit conceptual or empirical research related to a wide variety of related issues.These issues can be conceptual in nature such as how to integrate interpretivist and positivist approaches or detailed methodological discussions such as the recent exploration into the appropriateness of formative and reflective constructs in quantitative modeling.We encourage any submission that fosters discussion and understandings of research quality, best practices and appropriate use of methods. * * *General Examples of Relevant Topics*: * Assessment of research rigor in IS. * The evolution of evaluative criteria in different IS research paradigms. * Level of consensus on research quality standards across different IS paradigms. * Agreement and disagreement of best practice in different circumstances * Authors? responsibilities for providing guidance on how to judge research quality. * Ontological positioning and its implications for reviewing and publishing IS research. *Important Dates*: January 4, 2013: Paper submissions open on Bepress February 22, 2013: Deadline for paper submissions at 11:59 p.m. CST April 17, 2013: Notification of paper acceptance May 9, 2013: Camera-ready copy due Instructions for authors can be found at AMCIS website: http://amcis2013.aisnet.org *Mini-Track Chair*: Dr. Kerry W.

Francis Jaureguiberry*, UniversitÃ© de Pauand *Pr. **Moez Limayem*, South Florida University In partnership with the Association Information and Management (AIM), the MPW (Managing in a Pluricultural World) <http://www.rouenbs.fr/fr/recherche/poles-de-recherche/managing-in-a-l-pluri…> research group of Rouen Business School is organizing a workshop on SNS in its Parisian campus. This research event is opened to practitioners, researchers and teachers in all areas of management science. We believe that since Information Systems (IS) transcend the organization and affect all of its functions and aspects, it is totally appropriate to gather researchers from different fields in management who are sometimes investigating the same phenomenon while using different grids of analysis. The purpose of this third edition of the IT and Culture workshop is to bring together researchers from several disciplines to allow them to share their respective works on social media and cultures (national culture, professional culture, religious culture, IT culture, etc.). *Positioning* SNS, these social online platforms which are used by millions of people, started to grow in our private, personal sphere; it then gradually invaded our professional sphere. In a globalized world where knowledge and information have become a valuable currency, these websites are playing an increasingly important role in the social landscape and involve a true cultural revolution. SNS provide to their users access to non-redundant information and new contacts, through weak ties (Granovetter, 1973). They allow people to develop virtual relationships with the members of an online community (Boyd and Ellison, 2007; Rosen, 2007; Donath, 2007; Zhao et al., 2008). They also have an impact at the macro level of analysis; for instance, they have been recognized as having played a significant role in the Arab worldâ??s surge toward democracy (Maghrabi and Salam, 2001; MlaÃ¯ki, 2011). People and organizations must now manage their digital identity and increase their visibility**through the web; they can do so through SNS (Cardon, 2008, George, 2009, Zhao et al., 2008) as they allow interpersonal (one to one) and also collective (communities of practice, working groups, friends) communication. JaurÃ©guiberry and Proulx (2011) insist on the utilitarian dimension of SNS as they fulfill instrumental networking needs: they allow users to introduce themselves by only showing their best assets, as the purpose is to obtain valorizing recognition by other users. Voluntary usage discontinuance (JaurÃ©guiberry, 2012) by some users, however, remains understudied. It may be an answer to information overload and to the need to master communication flows. SNS may soon be considered as essential as means and support for knowledge management and knowledge diffusion in organizations (Boughzala and Limayem, 2009). Researchers have investigated the role of these platforms for promoting firms, their homebrand and their values (Poynter, 2004; Brown et al., 2007, Page, 2008; Langheinrich and Karjith, 2010, Girard et al., 2011). The capacity of these platforms for information dissemination allows firms to propose a new kind of marketing through the emergence of a new form of word of mouth ("e-word of mouth") (Trusov et al., 2009; Gregurec et al., 2009, Cao et al., 2009). Marketing professionals are developing new methods of communication (affinity-based marketing, viral marketing, geo-marketing, social gaming, social shopping, etc.) in order to create and to reinforce their relationships with customers. SNS may also be considered as having some negative aspects such as the information overload they can be perceived as generating (Mlaiki et al., 2011) since they reinforce the â??napoleon effectâ?? (Kalika, 2007; Kalika et al., 2007): managers have to deal with an ever increasing number of communication media.**We believe that some cultural aspects (IT culture, organizational culture, etc.) can lead individuals to better manage this information overload or learn to keep it under control. Another potential danger should also be reported here. The possibility of a complete disconnection from the real world by creating oneâ??s own virtual life is a real concern for some users. These users may develop an addictive behavior and suffer from self-regulation problems (Rouis, Limayem and Sangari, 2011b, Soror, and Steelman Limayem, 2012) related to excessive use. These elements raise many questions: what is the effectiveness of SNS in the field of marketing, human resource management, etc.? How can we deal with the legal issues related to these websites? What about oneâ??s e-reputation? How can we adapt the use of these platforms to different cultural contexts in terms of marketing, this issue being more particularly acute in the case of multinational firms? How should we manage cultural (national, IT, corporate, generational, etc.) differences amongst users? We are more particularly interested in the following issues: - What roles do SNS play in the world (depending on different national cultures)? - What is the impact of SNS on the construction of a transnational culture? - Are these websites used in the same way (and for the same purposes) all over the world? - Do organizations adapt their online discourse according to their audienceâ??s culture (national, IT, etc.)? - Do organizations adopt these websites in the same way while using them to communicate within and without the organization (communication strategy, corporate culture, etc.)? - Do all individuals perceive SNS in the same manner and use them for the same reasons (individual culture and IT culture: Walsh, Kefi and Baskerville, 2010)? - Could one foresee SNS usage discontinuance? - How can one manage the information overload linked to SNS? Some researchers have already investigated the impact of some cultural differences on SNS use (Vasalou et al., 2010, Kim et al., 2011, Chen and Tsoi, 2011, Yoo and Huang, 2011; Rouis, Limayem and Sangari, 2011a). Nevertheless, much remains to be done to investigate fully the linkages between usersâ?? cultural differences and different possible usages of these platforms. We propose, below, a list of themes that are coherent with our workshop topic. Of course, it is not an exhaustive list. Researchers should feel free to propose any work that somehow links SNS to culture. * *Suggested topics:** 1. IT culture and SNS 2. National culture and SNS: usage and motivations 3. SNS as spaces to exchange and communicate with people from different cultures 4. SNS and consumption: a matter of culture? 5. SNS and e-commerce (e-marketing) 6. SNS and cultural industry (music industry, theater, arts, etc.). 7. SNS and self-promotion 8. SNS as a facilitator of political expression (freedom of expression) 9. SNS and e-identity 10. SNS and information overload: is the â??Napoleon cakeâ?? getting thicker? 11. SNS and the development of social ties 12. SNS and co-creation of value 13. Collective decision-making: Wisdom of crowds, crowd-sourcing 14. SNS and political expression: a cultural issue? * *Organizing committee:** - Isabelle Walsh, Associate Professor, Rouen Business School, - CÃ©line Davesne, Professor, Dean of Faculty, Rouen Business School, - Philippe Lafage, Affiliated professor, Rouen Business School. - Alya Mlaiki, ATER, EM Strasbourg Business School, UniversitÃ© de Strasbourg, - Gaetan Mourmant, Affiliated Professor, IESEG, * *Scientific committee** - Yehuda Baruch, Professeur, Directeur de la recherche, Rouen Business School, - Marc Bidan, Professeur, UniversitÃ© de Nantes, - FranÃ§ois-Xavier de Vaujany, Professeur, UniversitÃ© Paris-Dauphine, - Henri Isaac, MaÃ®tre de ConfÃ©rences, UniversitÃ© Paris-Dauphine, - Francis Jaureguiberry, Professeur, UniversitÃ© de Pau, - Michel Kalika, Professeur, UniversitÃ© Paris-Dauphine, - Hajer Kefi, MaÃ®tre de ConfÃ©rences, HDR, UniversitÃ© Paris 5, - Moez Limayem, Professeur, Directeur du College of Business, South Florida University, - Magnus MÃ¤hring, Professeur, Stockholm School of Economics, - Nathalie Mitev, Professeur, London School of Economics, - Denise Potosky, Professeur, Penn State University, - Isabelle Walsh, Professeur associÃ©e, Rouen Business School. *Submissions* This workshop is open to all contributors interested in these transversal issues whether they are from the management science field of research (information systems, marketing, strategy, control, etc.) or from other scientific communities (computer science, sociology, economics, law, etc.).

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] AMCIS2013 CFP: Mini-track Enterprise Systems and Cloud Computing Date: Mon, 10 Dec 2012 15:07:43 -0500 From: Dr. Al Bento <abento(a)ubalt.edu> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> CALL FOR PAPERS 19th Americas Conference on Information Systems Chicago, Illinois, August 15-17, 2013 TRACK: Enterprise Systems MINI-TRACK: Enterprise Systems and Cloud Computing Introduction Traditionally enterprise systems were primarily in-house systems, but in-house development was costly and inefficient, and enterprise software packages were developed: Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Customer Relations Management (CRM) and Supply Chain Management (SCM). With the advent of the Internet and Web many of these systems gained a Web interface and some were outsourced, while others were kept in in-house server silos. Cloud Computing is also an enterprise system initiative and some of the traditional in-house installations of enterprise packages are migrating to the Cloud. New ERP players that just offer services on the Cloud are growing. Traditional players like SAP and Oracle are working on new offerings in the Cloud. Salesforce and many traditional CRM providers are also offering services on the Cloud. Cloud computing is an emerging discipline which is changing the way corporate computing is and will be done in the future. The National Institute of Standard and Technology (NIST) defines cloud computing as a “ model for enabling convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction.“ The architecture of Cloud Computing is comprised of four layers: Infrastructure as a Service (comprised of servers, hypervisor, storage and network), Platform as a Service (development environment including DB, integration and development tools), Software as a Service (readymade applications), and Business Process as a Service (applications plus services). In addition there are different types of clouds: private, public, hybrid and community clouds, with different capabilities and requirements. Objectives of the mini-track This mini-track invites relevant contributions of theoretical frameworks, empirical studies, and practical experiences of enterprise systems in the Cloud. It aims to receive submissions that add to the understanding of enterprise systems in the Cloud, and address many of the issues related to change management, security, management and processing approaches related to the move to the Cloud. A key objective is to provide an open forum for all aspects of enterprise systems in the Cloud, including their possible changes to organizations and management. A final objective is to receive contributions on possible links between mobile computing (smartphones, tablets, 4G) and enterprise systems in the Cloud. Recommended topics include, but are not limited to, the following: • Enterprise systems and Infrastructure as a Service • Enterprise systems and Platform as a Service • Enterprise systems and Software as a Service • Enterprise systems and Business Process Services • Security of Enterprise systems in the Cloud • IT Management of Enterprise systems in the Cloud • Mobile Computing and Enterprise systems in the Cloud • Change management in Enterprise systems in the Cloud • Managing with Enterprise systems in the Cloud • Economy of Enterprise systems in the Cloud • Critical success factors for Enterprise systems in the Cloud • Enterprise systems Cloud migration - success and failure case studies • Enterprise systems in the Cloud diffusion across borders Submission Procedure Submit your manuscript using the new Bepress system. The link will be available in January 4, 2013 at http://amcis2013.aisnet.org/. Important Dates • January 4, 2013: Paper submissions officially begins • February 22, 2013: Paper Submission Deadline 11:59 PM CST • April 22, 2013: Program Chairs Notify Authors of Paper Acceptance • May 9, 2013: Camera-ready Copy of Accepted Papers Due Mini-track Chairs: Dr. Al Bento Professor and Thompson Chair of MIS Merrick School of Business University of Baltimore abento(a)ubalt.edu http://home.ubalt.edu/abento (410) 837-5272 Dr. Anil Aggarwal Professor of MIS Merrick School of Business University of Baltimore aaggarwal(a)ubalt.edu (410) 837 -5275 Editors of "Cloud Computing Service and Deployment Models: Layers and Management" published October 2012, see it at http://www.igi-global.com/book/cloud-computing-service-deployment-models/67… _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CfP AMCIS 2013: Mini-Track Virtual Communities: Services, Business Models, and Crowd Creation Date: Tue, 11 Dec 2012 10:35:11 +0100 From: Ulrich Bretschneider Dr. <bretschneider(a)uni-kassel.de> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org =================== sorry for any cross-postings ================================= First CALL FOR PAPERS Mini-Track "Virtual Communities: Services, Business Models, and Crowd Creation" 19th Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS) August 15-17, 2013, Chicago, Illinois, USA AMCIS 2013 website http://amcis2013.aisnet.org/ Mini-Track website http://www.virtual-community.org <http://www.virtual-community.org/> ============================================================================ === SCOPE === Virtual communities (VC) and social networking based on social networking sites, message boards, chat rooms, user groups and blogs have emerged as high activity domains on the Internet. VC and social networks are designed for a variety of purposes, ranging from Communities of Interest, Communities of Relationship (Facebook, etc.), or Innovation Communities (Dell Idea Storm, etc.). Web 2.0 Mechanisms are also boosting the development of VC and the role of user-generated content within VC. The significance of these communities is evident by the impact they have on information generation and transmission, and socialization. For example, today, blogs are quickly becoming a primary source of information in a variety of domains. But also the generation of innovations or the sourcing of tasks is achieved through communities as the examples of oDesk or Innocentive illustrate. Within the field of IS researchers are interested in studying interaction patterns, social structures, transaction processes, management aspects, business models, and design aspects of information systems and services for VC. Further related issues are trust, network effects, transaction costs as well as the generation of innovations. "Wisdom of Crowds", "Collective Intelligence" and "Crowdsourcing" are important new terms describing mechanisms around user-generated content in VC and Social Networks. === SUGGESTED TOPICS === Despite the increasing popularity of VC and social networking, several questions relating to VC and social networking remain largely unexplored. We call for papers on all aspects of VC. We welcome empirical, conceptual and theoretical work. Possible topics include (but are not limited to): * Social, political and economic impact of Virtual Communities * Community models, platforms, services, and interactions, multi-channel communities * Management and organizational behaviour of communities * Community-related business models * Innovation generation and Virtual Communities (e.g. case studies on "wisdom of crowds", "collective intelligence", etc.) * User-generated content and customer collaboration in Virtual Communities * Peer-to-Peer or mobile services for Virtual Communities * Crowdsourcing through communities * Case studies and empirical studies, best practices and lessons learned * Motivation of participants in virtual communities * Benefits of participation in and competition among virtual communities * Information dispersion in virtual communities * Typologies and taxonomies of virtual communities * Evolution of and innovation in virtual communities * Gaming Communities === IMPORTANT DATES === * January 4, 2013: AIS Review System will begin accepting submissions for AMCIS 2013 * February 22, 2013 (11:59 PM CST): Submission deadline * April 22, 2013: Authors notified of paper acceptance decision * May 9, 2013: Camera-Ready Papers due === MINI-TRACK CHAIR INFORMATION === * Prof. Dr. Jan Marco Leimeister Information Systems, Kassel University/Germany * Prof. Balaji Rajagopalan, Ph.D. School of Business Administration, Oakland University/USA and Galgotias University, Greater Noida/India * Dr. Ulrich Bretschneider (primary contact: bretschneider(a)uni-kassel.de) Information Systems, Kassel University/Germany

Yet, while IS success has been well-researched, our understanding of significant elements of the success of BIS, how are they interrelated, and how they affect BIS use, is limited. While previous research about understanding BIS success focused especially on end-user BIS satisfaction formation, the research on BIS post-adoption environment is rather incomplete. Exploring the success factors affecting BIS continuance intention and continuance behavior fills this gap by adding pieces to the puzzle of BIS success. Moreover, rather than just achieving âsuccessâ, organizations are nowadays striving towards true business value of such systems, which calls for research to link upstream (i.e. antecedents of BIS end-user satisfaction) and downstream (i.e. BIS continued use) success activities and their embeddedness with existing management practices. This mini-track aims to promote contributions dealing with a managerial, a methodological or a technical perspective on BIS post-implementation success. Submissions based on theoretical research, design research, action research, or behavioral research, are encouraged. We welcome both full research papers and research in progress. SUGGESTED TOPICS Related suggested topics, which are not limited to, but could include: â¢ BIS maturity, its dimensions, and metrics â¢ IS theories for BIS success â¢ Organizational issues in BIS post-adoption environment â¢ Factors affecting continued use of BIS â¢ Business value of BIS, its dimensions, and measurement â¢ Return on investment in BIS â¢ BIS success and existing management practices â¢ BI and firm competitiveness For any questions relating to submissions to this mini-track please contact the chair.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CfP AMCIS 2013: Understanding and Managing IS Innovation in Collaborative Networks Date: Mon, 10 Dec 2012 22:04:18 -0200 From: Joao Porto <jporto(a)gmail.com> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org 19th Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS 2013) Chicago, Illinois, USA August 15-17, 2013 http://amcis2013.aisnet.org/ MINITRACK: Understanding and Managing IS Innovation in Collaborative Networks TRACK: End-User Information Systems, Innovation, and Organizational Change (SIGOSRA) Today?s organizations are highly interconnected in manifold kinds of collaborative networks, such as virtual organizations, enterprise alliances, business ecosystems, supply chains, ad-hoc networks (e.g. in disaster scenarios). Furthermore, the widespread use of mobile devices and social media by end-users are extending the reach of collaborative networks across the usual limits of organizations. Traditional approaches for IS/IT innovation management and organizational change can hardly be applied in this context, since they are generally focused on a single organization with well-defined borders. The design, management and deployment of IS innovations within and for such collaborative networks brings about important challenges for IS research. These challenges include adapting existing IS frameworks, methodologies and approaches to deal with the socio-technical complexity of collaborative networks. Socio-technical complexity arises in these networks not only from integrating a diversity of organizations and their corresponding information and technology infrastructures, but also from their interaction with people outside the organization boundaries and with society (e. g. by mobile devices and social media). This mini-track aims at providing a forum for research on methods for analyzing and intervening into collaborative networks that consider the tremendous size, geographical dispersion, socio-technical intertwining as well as the limited possibilities to influence these networks. We encourage conceptual, theoretical, methodological as well as empirical contributions towards understanding and managing IS innovations in collaborative networks. TOPICS OF INTEREST INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO: ?Understanding and managing IS innovation in different types of collaborative networks (business ecosystems, virtual organizations, enterprise alliances, etc.) ?Theoretical approaches for unraveling socio-technical complexity in collaborative networks ?Suitability of traditional IS management methods and tools (e.g. Business Process Management, IT Governance, Enterprise Architecture) for collaborative networks ?Design and cultivation approaches for IS innovation and organizational change in collaborative networks ?IS innovation management in ad-hoc collaborative networks (e.g. in disaster management) ?Inter-organizational information infrastructures for collaborative networks ?Geospatial approaches for dealing with collaborative networks ?IS interoperability and integration issues in collaborative networks ?Collaborative and open IS/IT innovation in systems of IS/IT innovation ?IS/IT innovation in ultra large-scale collaborative networks ?Success and failure of IS innovations in collaborative networks ?End-User integration in inter-organizational innovation processes (e. g. by end-user mobile applications or social media) ?Methodologies for analyzing and intervening in complex collaborative networks ?Teaching cases for IS innovation in collaborative networks IMPORTANT DATES: January 4, 2013 Manuscript Central will start accepting paper submissions February 22, 2013 Deadline for paper submissions April 22, 2013 Authors will be notified of acceptances on or about this date May 9, 2013 For accepted papers, camera-ready copy due SUBMISSION: To submit a paper, please follow the directions below. - Please use the AMCIS2013 Paper Template - Submit your paper after January 4, 2013 via Bepress.
