Data now have reached every sector in the global industries. Organization and business leaders across all industries are looking for opportunities to minimize costs, increase efficiencies and gain competitive advantage in managing information and data. They are also focusing on IT as a way to accomplish these goals. The increasing volume and detail of information and data captured by enterprises will synergize exponential growth in data for the foreseeable future. Responding to this emerging issue, many companies are introducing new technologies designed to help businesses and governments tackle big data by making it simpler and more economical to analyze massive amounts of data. For this, organizations are required not only to attract the right talent and technology but also structure incentives in order to optimize the management of data. We can clearly see that the possibilities of big data continue to evolve, driven by the recent advancement in the underlying technologies, platforms, and capabilities of handling data. The question that arise is how to best get the value OBJECTIVE OF THE SPECIAL ISSUE: This special issue seeks to expand and incorporate various research approaches and methodologies on how technology and innovation of data can create value and leverage data-driven strategies to innovate, compete, and capture value from deep and up-to-real-time information in a global context. We also aim to attract several issues that directly capture the full potential of big data globally such as policies related to security, privacy and intellectual property. We particularly focus on the impact of both technology and innovation in the way we manage data and extract the business value in the global context. RECOMMENDED TOPICS: Topics to be discussed in this special issue include (but are not limited to) the following: • Big data and product lifecycle management • Big data and visualization • Big data in public sector administration • Big data techniques and technologies • Handling data for experimentation to discover needs, expose variability, and improve performance • Impact of organizational, cultural, and talent challenges to maximize the benefits of big data • Innovating new business models, products, and services • Manufacturers use of big data across the value chain • Mapping global data for business innovation • Role of big data in business value creation • Supporting human decision making with emerging technologies • Transformative potential of big data in the global context • Use of recent technologies and techniques to capture business value from big data • Using big data to generate innovative ways of productivity and growth SUBMISSION PROCEDURE: Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit papers for this special theme issue on Technology and Innovation in Managing Information and Data in the Global Context on or before February 15, 2014.

Fwd: [AISWorld] Sysiac SI TOC – IT Artefact & practice theorizing – pragmatic perspectives

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Sysiac SI TOC – IT Artefact & practice theorizing – pragmatic perspectives Datum: Mon, 4 Nov 2013 08:01:33 +0000 Von: Göran Goldkuhl <goran.goldkuhl(a)liu.se> An: AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org <AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org> *A special issue on ?**IT Artefact & practice theorizing ? pragmatic perspectives? has been published in Systems, Signs & Actions (www.sysiac.org <http://www.sysiac.org/>). * Six papers are published in this special issue (three regular papers and three commentary papers): *Kai Riemer & Robert B. Johnston:* *What is IT in use and why does it matter for IS design?* ?This paper investigates the notion of the IT artefact and it challenges common conceptions of this. Founded in Heideggerian philosophy, the authors advocate for a holistic ontology instead of a dualist ontology that separates the subject (user) and the object (artefact). IT is seen as equipment which is co-constituted with a nexus of other equipment, user practices and social identities. The use of (ready-at-hand) equipment is done in an everyday fluent manner by the user, which makes the equipment disappear from its conscious attention. The main message of this paper is that IT as equipment is a necessary perspective for design in IS. This is grounded through discussions of the user, practice changes and IT acceptance.? *Steven Alter:* *Is Work System Theory a Practical Theory of Practice?* ?This paper extends Alter?s earlier works on the Work System Method and the Work System Theory. It does so by investigating different conceptions within pragmatism, such as practice theory and practical theory. Specifically the paper investigates Work System Theory in relation to UML, workpractice theory (of Goldkuhl) and other different practice theories with a sociomaterial orientation. This investigation includes also a comparison with the work of Riemer and Johnston (the first paper in this special issue). The paper discusses possible extensions and future directions of Work System Theory in relation to these different pragmatic conceptions.? *Göran Goldkuhl:* *From ensemble view to ensemble artefact ? An inquiry on conceptualisations of the IT artefact* ?This paper investigates the notion of an ensemble artefact as proposed by Sein et al (2011) in their description of Action Design Research. The conceptual origin of the ensemble artefact is the ensemble view by Orlikowski & Iacono (2001). The paper investigates the ?conceptual journey? from ensemble view to ensemble artefact and also other IT artefact conceptions by Orlikowski & Iacono. Based on these inquiries an alternative view is articulated: A communication tool view of IT artefacts. This view is compared with the ensemble view, especially in a design research context. The notion of ensemble artefact is contested, and so is also the suggested use of it as a main conceptual basis in design research.? *Sandeep Purao, Ola Henfridsson, Matti Rossi & Maung Sein:* *Ensemble Artifacts: From Viewing to Designing in Action Design Research* ?This is a response to Goldkuhl?s paper on the conceptual journeyfrom ensemble view to ensemble artefact. The authors argue that the notion of ensemble /artifact/ in ADR is appropriate because it highlights the forward-looking orientation of designing artifacts and stresses the importance of the context for the evolution and use of the resulting artifact. This is in contrast to the retrospective orientation of the ensemble /view/ nomenclature from Orlikowski & Iacono (2001) that was used as a basis for the development of ADR.? *Mark S. Silver & M. Lynne Markus:* *Conceptualizing the SocioTechnical (ST) Artifact* ?This is a response to Goldkuhl?s paper where he writes about different conceptions of IT artefacts. The authors claim that IT artifacts have both technical and social design features and therefore they should be better regarded as ?SocioTechnical artifacts?. They propose that the study of the ST artifact - consequences connection has potential to be a unifying force in the IS field.? *Göran Goldkuhl:* *The IT artefact: An ensemble of the social and the technical? ? A rejoinder* ?This is a response to the other two commentary papers in the special issue, i.e. those authored by Purao et al and Silver and Markus. As one step in a further conceptualising of the IT artefact, the notion of an artefact is investigated. This is used as a basis to further clarify the social (and technical) character of the IT artefact and the consequences of this view for the design of such artefacts and their use contexts.?

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [wkwi] CFP: ECIS 2014 - Track "Decision Support and Big Data" Datum: Sat, 2 Nov 2013 10:01:03 +0100 (CET) Von: Guido Schryen <guido.schryen(a)wiwi.uni-regensburg.de> Antwort an: postmaster(a)idefix.buva.sowi.uni-bamberg.de Organisation: Universität Regensburg Liebe Kolleg(inn)en, die Öffnung des ECIS 2014-Einreichungssystems nehme ich zum Anlass, Sie auf unseren Track aufmerksam zu machen. Über Einreichungen aus Ihren Reihen würden wir uns freuen. Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Guido Schryen **************************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS 22nd European Conference on Information Systems (ECIS 2014) Track: Decision Support and Big Data (http://ecis2014.eu/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/8.-Decision-Support-and-Big-D ata1.pdf) June 9-11, 2014, Tel Aviv, Israel (http://ecis2014.eu/) **************************************************************************** TRACK CHAIRS Tina Comes, University of Agder, Norway,martina.comes(a)uia.no Guido Schryen*, University of Regensburg, Germany,guido.schryen(a)ur.de Stefan Voß, University of Hamburg, Germany,stefan.voss(a)uni-hamburg.de *Corresponding track chair DESCRIPTION Intelligent decision support is known to be crucial in many business contexts, and it will both gain momentum and become increasingly challenging through the availability of very large data pools (big data). Sensor networks, social network activities, RFID deployment, Internet search histories and retail transactions are just a few examples of sources that are likely to generate Exabytes or even Zettabytes of data. The data are characterized by high levels of volume, velocity, variety and variability, and traditional analytics and techniques may easily fall short of storing, analyzing and processing these data and, even more so, using them in an intelligent way for decision making. Key advantages of successfully managing big data and using them for decision making and business analytics include the improvement of overall efficiency, the improvement of speed and accuracy of decision making, the ability to forecast, the identification of business opportunities and a greater understanding of citizens’ and customers’ needs. Turning big data into business and society value will thus become one of the major challenges in the IS discipline. The close link between data and decisions shall avoid the processing of irrelevant or redundant information and thus help reduce information overload while ensuring that all relevant information is processed. This track looks for new and innovative methodologies, techniques, theories, and systems that allow for exploiting big data pools to support decision makers. We invite both quantitative and analytical contributions. TOPICS OF INTEREST Possible topics include, but are not limited to: * Data mining and machine learning in decision support contexts, * Decision making, including optimization models and methodologies * Uncertainty and risk management in decision support * Iterative, sequential and interdependent decisions * Social media analysis and crowd sourcing * Collaborative and participatory decision making including social media applications * Retail and customer analysis * Logistics and supply chain analysis and supply chain risk management * Internet data analysis * Data quality * Business value of big data * Video analytics * Geospatial analytics * Cloud analytics and intelligence SPONSORSHIP Authors of exceptional papers will be invited for submitting an expanded version to a fast-track special issue in the Springer journal Annals of Information Systems. IMPORTANT DATES Paper Submission begins: 1 November, 2013 Submission Deadline Date: 8 December, 2013 Notification of Acceptance: March 3, 2014 Final version of accepted papers due: March 30, 2014 Early Bird Registration closes: April 16, 2014 ASSOCIATE EDITORS Jörn Altmann, Seoul National University, Korea Christer Carlsson, Abo Akademi University, Finland Haluk Demirkan, University of Washington – Tacoma, USA Benjamin Fabian, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Germany Andreas Fink, Helmut-Schmidt-University, Germany Ole-Christoffer Granmo, University of Agder, Norway Richard F.
