Pardo, Djoko Sigit Sayogo Time line: Full chapter submission: March 31st, 2014 Notification for revise/resubmit/rejection: June 15th, 2014 Revised chapter submission: July 15th, 2014 Final publication decision: August 15th, 2014 Anticipated Book publication: 2015 Submission Instructions Prospective authors are invited to submit their proposed chapter to the editors using the following email {jizhang(a)clarku.edu <mailto:%7bjizhang@clarku.edu>; dsayogo(a)ctg.albany.edu <mailto:dsayogo@ctg.albany.edu>; luisf.luna(a)udlap.mx <mailto:luisf.luna@udlap.mx>; tpardo(a)ctg.albany.edu <mailto:tpardo@ctg.albany.edu>} by March 31st, 2014. Prospective authors are encouraged to submit a two paragraph proposal or abstract explaining the issues discussed in the proposed chapter. All submission will undergo double-blind review by qualified reviewers and the Editors. Introduction Sustainability has become an important focus for government, civil society and the corporate community world-wide. Growing interest in addressing environmental deterioration and associated social inequality and economic challenges is shifting focus to this important issue. The lack of fresh water and arable land, extreme weather, rising cost of relying on fossil fuels, and poverty and regional instability, are drawing attention to the need for government intervention and policy instruments that encourage the development of sustainable alternatives. Sustainability refers to the "development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs" (World Commission on Environment and Development 1987). Governments can play a very important role in facilitating sustainable development through better public policies. First of all, public investments can be directed toward establishing incentives for renewable energy, energy efficiency, sustainable agriculture, and land and water conservation, or toward leveling the field for sustainable alternatives by phasing out the subsidies directed to unsustainable production and development. Second, regulatory and pricing mechanisms could help with the development of markets for sustainable products. Traditional production models dominate because externalities detrimental to social and environmental sustainability are largely unaccounted for by existing pricing mechanisms. Government policy in regulating prices, certification, or information can send correction signals to the market, and play key roles in establishing a favorable condition for sustainable products. In addition, policies can be made to encourage private investment and public-private collaboration in innovation and technological advancement. Finally, policy incentives for innovations and education development enable nations and regions to lead and capitalize on new technological and economic opportunities. Delivering on the many promises of government interventions grounded in or enabled by such policies hinge, to a great extent, on the quality of those policies. Such policy decisions related to investments in sustainable development are situated in complex environments and involve large numbers of heterogeneous stakeholders. Understanding enabling conditions and trade-offs between long term benefits and short-term impacts, or between environmental sustainability and economic progress is challenging, in large part due to historical gaps between how and when information and information technology became a part of the policy informing, development and evaluation process. As Dawes and Janssen (2013) however, point out, these gaps are closing; the availability of large quantity of new data, growth in computing power, and advanced analysis and presentation tools have given rise to an emerging field known as policy informatics, which involves groups of policy makers and other stakeholders in using models, data and other technical tools to analyze problems and policy alternatives. Policy informatics is especially suitable to the domain of sustainability, such as understanding the interactions of job growth and investing in environmental sustainability under certain regulatory framework, projecting the effectiveness of sustainable agricultural regime, monitoring the climate change, among other complex issues. Concomitant with these new opportunities are new challenges, such as engaging stakeholders, interpretation of results, understanding the limitation and models and analytical tools (Dawes and Janssen, 2013). A book reflecting the emerging trends, development, and challenges of policy on sustainability using information technology will provide a unique opportunity to engage in discussion and debate on a timely issue, and generate valuable insights to both research and practice communities. This book attempts to address the following topics in the interaction of sustainability and policy informatics: . Analytical and modelling approaches . Computing technologies and tools . Simulation for climate and environment changes . Policy on sustainable energy . Policy on implementation of smart grid . Policy on sustainable consumption and sustainable supply chain . Policy on economic and social development of cities and regions . Smart disclosure . Big data . Social media . Stakeholder engagement . Governance . Limitation and challenges of contemporary tools and approaches . Policy encouraging public and private collaboration . Public education and debate on policy issues and alternatives Publisher This book is scheduled to be published by Springer International Publishing AG (Springer) in the Public Administration and Information Technology Series. This publication is anticipated to be released in 2015.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] AMCIS 2014 CfP: Enterprise System Adoption and Business Models Datum: Fri, 28 Feb 2014 19:07:21 +0100 Von: Piotr Soja <eisoja(a)cyf-kr.edu.pl> Antwort an: eisoja(a)cyf-kr.edu.pl Organisation: UEK An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Kopie (CC): Carsten Brockmann <Carsten.Brockmann(a)wi.uni-potsdam.de> AMCIS 2014 CFP Mini-Track: Enterprise System Adoption and Business Models Track: Enterprise Systems (SIGEntSys) Savannah, Georgia, USA, August 7-10, 2014 Deadline for submissions: March 1, 2014 Enterprise systems (ES) are extremely complex software packages designed for integrating data flow across an entire company, emerged from earlier MRP, MRP II and ERP systems. Over time, ES have expanded to include more and more areas of an organization's operations, and have extended organizational boundaries and support interorganizational activities. Today's enterprise systems are expected to support modern organizations that operate in dynamic and turbulent business environments, compete in global markets, face mergers and takeovers, and participate in business alliances and joint ventures. Frequently, the adoption of an ES is an enormous challenge for an organization, due to system complexity, organizational context and the people involved in the implementation project. Usually, ES adoption is a long and multi-stage process during which various problems and complications may occur. Moreover, ES adoption projects typically involve a large number of stakeholders representing different departments, various organizational hierarchies, and often external companies operating in various industries. These stakeholders may have conflicting interests, and their own definitions of project success. Overall, ES implementation projects tend to be very unique and challenging endeavors. Providers of enterprise systems have traditionally relied on strong revenues from maintenance fees, in addition to license revenue. Nowadays, shorter product lifecycles, rising consulting revenues, Open Source Software and SaaS are impacting their business models. ES providers have the challenge of delivering systems which are highly customizable software products, able to fit the needs of a variety of adopters. This might be important since, as prior research suggests, the issue of alignment between ES and adopting organizations is one of the determinants of successful enterprise system implementation. This mini-track invites papers that examine various aspects related to the determinants of ES success and business models. Both empirical and theoretical papers are invited. The general research questions addressed in this mini-track can be formulated as follows: What are the mechanisms determining successful ES adoption? What are the underlying business models of companies delivering successfully adaptable ES? What kind of business models exist? Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: . motivation and justification for ES adoption, . alignment between ES and adopting organization, . barriers and impediments to ES adoption success, . risk factors in ES adoption, . critical failure factors for ES adoption, . critical success factors for ES adoption, . understanding of ES adoption success, . evaluation and benchmarking of ES projects, . multi-cultural and multi-national issues, . multiple stakeholder perspective in ES adoption and use, . business model frameworks for ES providers, . impact of new trends within the software industry on business models, . business model innovation for standard software companies, . implications of shorter product lifecycles on business models, . SaaS related business models, . open source software related business models. *I**mportant dates:* March 1, 2014 Deadline for paper submissions April 4, 2014 Authors notification date April 18, 2014 Authors revision due date April 25, 2014 Authors final, camera-ready date *Instructions for authors:* The entire paper should be no more than 5,000 words, including all materials and sections such as figures, tables, and references.
