Health Information Systems are increasingly seen as being at the centre of the delivery of high quality healthcare and as key to the modernization or transformation of healthcare organizations. The last decade has seen many countries introducing initiatives aiming to bring more ICT into the front line of healthcare as well as promoting it as a basis for reengineering the back office. Yet one of the biggest, most ambitious initiative of them all, England's National Programme for Information Technology (NPfIT), has been largely abandoned by a new government as they adopt a different direction for policy.

Tilson, Simon Graduate School of Business, University of Rochester Kalle Lyytinen, Weatherhead School of Management, Case Western Reserve University DESCRIPTION The increasing importance of mobility and ubiquity as a social and economic phenomenon is obvious. The dynamic developments of mobile and contactless technologies have created a new application and research field in IS that determines the design, development, implementation and usage of IT systems. Thereby, the potential of mobile and contactless technologies is twofold. On the one hand, the usage of these technologies allows a better support of existing mobility. On the other hand, mobile and contactless technologies enable new forms of mobility. In addition, user behavior and usage of mobile technologies are changing. This development covers end user habits but also companies' approach for designing and integrating mobile business processes. Against this background new applications, business models, market players and value networks appear. SUGGESTED TOPICS The purpose of this minitrack is the analysis of current and future developments of mobile markets, market players, applications and approaches. Hereby, technical as well as organizational aspects and the analysis and design of IS as combinations of human-task-technology-systems take center stage. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to, the following: - Mobile enterprise applications and mobile-integrated business processes - Mobile financial services (e.g., mobile payment, mobile banking) - B2C applications + Mobile ticketing, mobile parking, mobile government + Mobile social media + Mobile marketing (e.g., mobile loyalty, mobile couponing, mobile advertisement) - Mobile security - Mobiles for Development (M4D) + Social implications of mobile communications + Mobile health + Mobile learning + Mobile communication for political participation + Economic development of poor countries + Economic impact of mobile technologies + Increasing transparency and fighting corruption through ICT - Legal aspects concerning mobile technologies and services - Potential and future impact of mobile and ubiquitous technologies on + Market players + Business processes + Markets + Economies - Development of mobile markets + Future revenue streams + New business models + Value networks - Theory development for mobile information systems + User behavior + Inference of activities + Prediction of activities - Analysis of mobile phone datasets and networks + Adoption of mobile and ubiquitous technologies of different user groups + Behavior analysis in mobile social networks + Wireless contacts and community structures + Mobility, data mining and privacy + Data analysis of individual mobility and usage patterns + Location-based use of mobile data services + Communication and information flows in social communities - Integration and usability of contactless technologies (e.g., RFID, NFC) We welcome conceptual, theoretical or empirical research papers. We are open for interdisciplinary research on mobility and mobile IS topics and intend to bring together different research communities.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] AMCIS 2012 Mini-Track: Enterprise Systems and Cloud Computing Datum: Tue, 07 Feb 2012 12:24:48 -0500 Von: Dr. Al Bento <abento(a)ubalt.edu> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> CALL FOR PAPERS 18th Americas Conference on Information Systems Seattle, Washington, August 9-12, 2012 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 require ments. 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 manuscript central system at – http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/amcis2012 Important Dates • January 3, 2012: Manuscript Central will start accepting paper submissions • March 1, 2012: (11:59 PM Pacific time zone): Deadline for paper submissions • April 2, 20012: Authors will be notified of acceptances on or about this date • April 20, 2012: (11:59 PM Pacific time zone): For accepted papers, camera ready copy 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 _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org

Fwd: [AISWorld] CFP 3 AMCIS minitrack on Smart Grid Technologies

07 Feb '12

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CFP 3 AMCIS minitrack on Smart Grid Technologies Datum: Tue, 7 Feb 2012 16:08:17 +0000 Von: Jason Dedrick <jdedrick(a)syr.edu> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Call for Papers (CFP) 18th Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS) August 9-12, 2011, Seattle,WA, USA Track: Green IS Mini-track: Smart Grid Technologies Mini-track chairs: Jason Dedrick and Murali Venkatesh, School of Information Studies, Syracuse University DESCRIPTION: Many countries face difficult challenges in upgrading their aging electrical generation, transmission, and distribution systems, while others are still building out their electricity infrastructure. Current grid technologies lack the ability to sense and respond to system failures and outages, manage peak demand, enable consumers to monitor and manage energy use, or accommodate distributed alternative energy sources. The ?smart grid? has been identified as a solution to address these deficiencies, and to reduce the environmental impacts of electrical generation, which currently is one of the largest producers of greenhouse gas emissions worldwide. The concept of smart grid is best viewed not as a specific technology but as a set of technologies that help fulfill the requirements of the next generation grid. According to the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology, the smart grid should: * Enable active participation by consumers * Accommodate all generation and storage options * Enable new products, services, and markets * Provide power quality for the digital economy * Optimize asset utilization and operate efficiently * Anticipate & respond to system disturbances (self-healing) * Operate resiliently against attack and natural disaster There are a number of key stakeholders with varying goals and interests in the smart grid including utilities, consumers, regulatory agencies, IT companies, and equipment manufacturers. Lack of agreement among these stakeholders raises barriers to smart grid adoption, such as a lack of established interoperability standards, privacy and security issues, and inconsistent regulatory environments. Developing systems that enable two-way communication between producers and consumers of electricity, management of demand, accommodation of distributed energy sources and more flexible pricing regimes requires advances in technology as well as addressing the motivations of the various stakeholders whose support and participation is needed. The issue of smart grid adoption and implementation is closely linked to a number of common themes in information systems, including design and system integration challenges, consumer technology acceptance, economic analysis of IS investments under uncertainty, organizational dynamics, policy and regulatory environments, and the inherently sociotechnical nature of such complex systems. So far there is little research in the IS field on smart grid technologies, yet this is potentially a very large area of future IS development activity, given the size of the electricity sector, its current low levels of IT use, and the potential to achieve major environmental improvements through energy efficiency and greater use of cleaner energy sources.To address these issues we invite papers that explore the range of technical, organizational, economic, and social perspectives on smart grid adoption. We invite high quality articles including but not limited to such topicsas: ?Design and development of smart grid technologies ?New applications for the smart grid ?Awareness, adoption, and diffusion of the smart grid by utilities ?New business models for utilities ?Organizational incentives in a regulated industry environment ?Consumer acceptance and education ?Privacy and security for the smart grid ?Government policy, including regulatory changes and incentives for adoption ?Economic impacts of smart grid adoption ?Potential environmental impacts of smart grid adoption Chair Contacts: Jason Dedrick, Associate Professor School of Information Studies Syracuse University jdedrick(a)syr.edu <mailto:jdedrick@syr.edu> Murali Venkatesh, Associate Professor School of Information Studies Syracuse University mvenkate(a)syr.edu <mailto:mvenkate@syr.edu> Important dates First week of January, 2012: Manuscript Central will start accepting paper submissions (http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/amcis2012) March 1, 2012: (11:59 PM Pacific time zone): Deadline for paper submissions April 2, 20012: Authors will be notified of acceptances April 20, 2012: (11:59 PM Pacific time zone): For accepted papers, camera ready copy due Jason Dedrick, Associate Professor School of Information Studies Syracuse University 324 Hinds Hall Syracuse, NY 13244 315-443-5602 jdedrick(a)syr.edu <mailto:jdedrick@syr.edu>

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CFP: special issue in Creativity and Innovation in services Datum: Tue, 7 Feb 2012 15:01:24 +0200 Von: Marianna Sigala <m.sigala(a)aegean.gr> An: <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Dear all, Please find below the CFP for a special issue that we are editing on "creativity and innovation in services" for the Services Industries journal (Thomson Reuters, ISI impact factor 1.071) We are specifically interested in papers dealing with information systems, social media, knowledge management and innovation, creativity. looking forward to your submissions and please do not hesitate to contact me should you need any further information. With my best regards Marianna Sigala *The Service Industries Journal * <javascript:openJacketWin('?acronym=FSIJ&title=The%20Service%20Industries%20Journal')> *http://www.tandfonline.com/fsij *** ** *CALL FOR PAPERS* *Special issue: * *Creativity and innovation in the service sector* ** *Guest Editors:* *Olivia Kyriakidou (okyriakidou(a)aueb.gr <mailto:okyriakidou@aueb.gr>)* *and* *Marianna Sigala (m.sigala(a)aegean.gr <mailto:m.sigala@aegean.gr>) ** ** *Olivia Kyriakidou*, PhD, Assistant Professor, Athens University of Economics and Business, Department of Business Administration, Athens, Greece ** *Marianna Sigala*, PhD, Assistant Professor, University of the Aegean, Department of Business Administration, Chios, Greece Given today?s rapidly changing business environments, heightened competition, and unpredictable technological change, more and more managers are coming to realize that they should encourage their employees to be creative (Zhang and Bartol, 2010). Considerable evidence indicates that employee creativity, defined as the development of novel and useful ideas about products, practices, services, or procedures (Amabile, 1996) can fundamentally contribute to organizational innovation, enhancing an organization?s growth and competitiveness(Shalley, Zhou and Oldham, 2004; Tierney et al., 1999). The role of employees, and especially frontline employees, in ensuring creativity and organizational innovation is of particular importance in service firms (Sparrowe, 1994) and especially in the tourism and hospitality field (Agarwal et al., 2003). As boundary workers, who are responsible for service delivery, they occupy a privileged position to collect first-hand market information and ensure customer satisfaction (Bitner, Booms, and Tetreault 1990). However, despite the importance of creative behaviour among frontline service employees and despite the fact that the service sector has become an extremely large part of the modern economy (Tajedinni, 2010), empirical research related to services has yet to identify its determinants (Hollenstein, 2000). This gap is significant because different tasks may require different skills, motivations, and cognitive strategies (Mumford, 2003). More specifically, little knowledge exists regarding the effect of leadership behaviours and job characteristics on the creativity of frontline service employees of companies that provide services to the consumer, such as hotels and leisure facilities. Nowadays, new technologies (and specifically, the social media) have empowered customers to actively participate (Fuller et al., 2008; Kohler et al, 2009; Sigala, 2012) in service innovation. Research has shown how firms can exploit online social networks and the user-generated content for generating new service ideas and supporting the new service development process (Sigala, 2012; Sigala, in press; Erat et al. 2006; Pitta and Fowler, 2005). However, little is still known on how to manage and exploit online customer engagement for increasing a firm's creativity and service innovation performance (Andreassen and Streukens, 2009). Moreover, research has not yet examined the role and the impact of new technologies on creative capabilities of firms and employees, which in turn can boost their innovation performance (Chalkiti and Sigala, 2008; Sigala and Chalkiti, 2012). The objectives of the special issue are to publish findings and exchange knowledge on the current challenges on how to facilitate and boost creativity and innovation in the service sector given the current technological applications and other challenges. Thus, theoretical, empirical, experimental and case studies research contributions are welcome, but all contributions should clearly address the practical and theoretical implications of the research reported. ** *Topics:* Topics of papers may include (but are not limited to): ** ·Creativity and innovation in the hospitality and tourism sector ·The role of leadership and job design on employee creativity in the service sector ·Human Resource Management practices and enhancement of employee creativity ·Perceptions of organizational justice and fairness and employee creativity ·Individual characteristics and employee creativity ·Employee diversity, immigration, creativity and innovation in services ·New technologies, creativity and innovation in services ·New technologies, knowledge transfer, innovation and creativity in services ·Knowledge management, innovation and creativity in services ·Social media, web 2.0, creativity and service innovation ·Customer co-creation, creativity and innovation in services *Guidelines for Authors* All submissions must adhere to the format and style guidelines of the Service Industries Journal.A guide for authors, sample copies and other relevant information for submitting papers are available at: http://www.tandfonline.com/action/authorSubmission?journalCode=fsij20&page=… All papers will be blind reviewed by at least two anonymous referees.
