-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] AMCIS 2015 CFP: Customers and Consumers as a New Challenge for End-User Computing (SIGOSRA) Datum: Tue, 06 Jan 2015 13:00:50 +0100 Von: Paul Drews <drews(a)informatik.uni-hamburg.de> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org *CALL FOR PAPERS** **21st Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS 2015)* Puerto Rico August 13-15, 2015 http://amcis2015.aisnet.org/ *Mini-Track: Customers and Consumers as a New Challenge for End-User Computing** **Track: End-User Information Systems, Innovation, and Organizational Change (SIGOSRA)* The field of end-user computing has successfully put a focus of research in IS development and implementation on empowering the users. However, today, the term "user" needs to be redefined as many organizations dramatically extend the number of people using their IT systems. Customers, consumers, partners and other stakeholders are now becoming users of the organizationsâ IT. These groups may comprise several hundreds of thousands or even millions of people with different IT skills and hardware. They are acting in diverse and often unknown contexts. Mobile applications, web shops and web portals are the bridges between an organization and its customers and consumers. Traditional ways of providing training, support, empowerment, and innovation need to be rethought with regard to this extended use. Like the internal IT users, consumers and customers are much more experienced in using IT today. Hence, organizations are also facing increased expectations if they provide IT systems to their customers and consumers. Contrary to their internal IT users, they cannot draw on established governance structures or impose direct pressure. Instead, organizations are to an increasing degree driven by the progress of consumer technology and leading web-based systems, which are known and used by their customers and consumers. The IT management in organizations is therefore in the need to find new structures for interacting with customers and consumers (e. g. in the fields of demand management, innovation management, service provision). With this mini-track, we seek to attract research, which is related to the well-established field of end-user computing. In accordance with the conference theme of âblue ocean researchâ, we encourage the submission of work that extends this field by also considering customers and consumers as end-users. *Topics of interest include, but are not limited to*: - Customers and consumers as end-users of IS - Achieving a better understanding of the customersâ and consumersâ needs - Establishing and maintaining IT-related communication channels with customers and consumers - Empowering customers and consumers with flexible IT systems - Methods for reducing the time needed for training - Integrating consumers and customers in IT-related innovation processes - Training and support services for customers and consumers - Entrepreneurial and small companies as end-users - New roles and tasks in organizations related to the IT-based interaction with consumers and customers - Customers' and consumers' IT skills - Consumerization of IT - Customer-oriented and consumer-oriented cross-department collaboration (e. g. between IT, marketing, sales) - Challenges of the IT organization / IT management directly facing customers and consumers - New methods for managing the IT departmentâs interaction with customers and consumers We welcome conceptual, empirical, and design-oriented contributions for this mini-track. *Submission:* Please follow the instructions given at http://amcis2015.aisnet.org/submission-guidelines *Important dates:* February 25, 2015: Submission Deadline April 21, 2015: Author Notification Date April 28, 2015: Camera-ready Revisions Due Date August 13-15, 2015: AMCIS Conference *Mini-Track Chairs:* Paul Drews, Leuphana University of LÃ¼neburg, paul.drews(a)leuphana.de (primary contact) Tilo BÃ¶hmann, University of Hamburg, tilo.boehmann(a)uni-hamburg.de Elizabeth A.

Despite the findings on heterogeneous use, the mainstream IS research treats "IT use" as one thing, and often continues to operationalise IS use as a frequency or an amount of use. Heterogeneous IS use presents several interesting challenges for IS research, such as: 1. What are the limitations and boundary conditions of the existing mainstream IS use models in the light of heterogeneous use patterns across users? 2. How should heterogeneous use be integrated into the existing models and theories? 3. What are the suitable concepts and theories to study unexpected and hard-to-predict patterns of IS use? For example, how can theoretical lenses such as affordances or structuration help explain unexpectedness, heterogeneity, or creativity in IS use behaviors? 4. Should the use construct be conceptualized at less general levels of abstraction to better reflect technologies' multi-purpose nature? 5. What are the elements of IS that enable and increase richness and practical importance of IS use? ============== Workshop goal =================== The goal of this full-day workshop is to bring together IS researchers to discuss the above-listed and related challenges and develop fruitful directions for future research. In the morning we will focus on participants' presentations in 2 to 3 sessions where similar papers have been grouped together. The afternoon is reserved for IS research agenda development in small groups. Based on the profiles and submissions by the participants, we will be working in 23 groups, with a task of analysing the impact of heterogeneous and creative IS use on our field's theories, and developing necessary future research activities. We are also considering inviting a keynote speaker for the workshop, from a neighbouring research community that is relevant but distinct from IS (e.g., humancomputer interaction or computersupported cooperative work). =============== Submission handling ============ We hope to have 6 to 8 papers in the workshop, but are able to include up to 10 papers in the program if the workshop proves popular. Submit the paper (unanonymized, 2-10 pages excluding cover page and references) by email to beyond.aou(a)gmail.com. Detailed instructions are available in the workshop website. If you have any questions, please send email to the address above. =============== Organizers ===================== Antti Salovaara, PhD, Aalto University, School of Business Jani Merikivi, PhD, Aalto University, School of Business Gregory Baker, PhD, HITLab NZ Stefan Seidel, Prof, University of Liechtenstein, Institute of Information Systems Anssi Öörni, Prof, University of Oulu, Department of Information Processing Science The workshop also has the following program committee: Prof. Andrew Burton-Jones (UQ Business School) Prof. Kalle Lyytinen (Case Western Reserve University) Dr. Mary Tate (Victoria University of Wellington) Prof. Se-Joon Hong (Korea University) Prof. Frank Chan (ESSEC Business School) Prof. Kar Yan Tam (Hong Kong University of Science and Technology) _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org

Luftmans annual IT management trends research over the last 15 years has placed big data/business analytics as the number one emerging technology investment around the globe. This, in concert with the trends research also indicating a global increase in the use of IT for revenue generating initiatives, is demanding organizations to address how to leverage this important set of technologies. To be successful in leveraging data and business analytics, organizations need to understand how to move from big data to smart data, and more importantly, how to obtain demonstrable value from these important initiatives. The impact of big data analytics touches every area of the enterprise marketing, sales, research, finance, human resources, supply chain, customer relations, legal, etc. To be successful there is a strong requirement for an organizational leader/manager to provide a new form of information service to the entire enterprise. As a result, there is currently a debate regarding the role of, or need for, a Chief Data Officer (CDO) or Chief Analytics Officer (CAO) perhaps as another member of the C-suite. Or, perhaps such a role is better placed under the CIO, or elsewhere in the organization. There is no one best place in which the responsibilities for the data questions raised above should reside for every organization. Management, however, needs guidance regarding what to take into account in determining the best alternative for their individual situation (e.g., strategy, culture, politics, IT-business relationship). Clearly defined governance processes for data and business analytics are essential.The key is for executives to consider data as an asset to determine how best to manage it, to exploit its potential, as we would with any other asset. How should it be acquired, stored, maintained and put to work. Recognizing the importance of IT and non-IT organizations working collaboratively is essential. While there are numerous industry-oriented articles on managing data as an asset, limited academic research has appeared. This dearth of research publications highlights the need for theoretical and empirical investigation into this topic. The purpose of this minitrack is to provide a forum for presenting research in this new and important area. Suggested Topics Topics for this minitrack include, but are not limited to, the following: · Data and analytics strategy · Business organization for gaining value from data · How and what data to capture · Storage for the growing availability of data · Feasibility and effectiveness of analytics · IT, business, and industry skills needed by the organization · Data and analytics responsibility within the organization · Ethical questions and considerations and how to deal with them · New business models · Governance of data and business analytics · Responsibility and expertise for: strategic authority for informational assets tactical and operational management of data assets investment and sourcing decisions for deploying data initiatives achieving organizational data success/value from data initiatives ensuring data security/privacy compliance creating innovative data-driven products and services *IMPORTANT NOTE: *We anticipate having an IBM executive practitioner event to be held during AMCIS where attendees from both the IBM and AMCIS will have an opportunity to share perspectives on the topics in this minitrack. *MINITRACK CO-CHAIRS* *Rob Nickerson* San Francisco State University RNick(a)sfsu.edu <mailto:RNick@sfsu.edu> Jerry Luftman Global Institute for IT Management luftman(a)hotmail.com <mailto:luftman@hotmail.com>

The arrival of consumer-oriented devices and applications into the workplace is re-defining how corporate IT is adopted, delivered, and consumed. Personal devices such as smartphones and tablets may be brought to the workplace by employees (called BYOD) or provided by employers for use by the workforce to help employees in their jobs. Consumer-oriented applications, often in the cloud (such as Dropbox, Skype, Yammer LinkedIn, and GoogleDocs), may be used by employees for work-related activities with or without company sanction. While there is no single, universally accepted definition of IT consumerization, it can loosely be defined as the enterprise use of technologies that were originally designed for the consumer market. End-users have mastered new digital technologies enough to begin to assert their independence from the constraints that the IT department has previously put in place to ensure the compliance, security, and stability of the corporate IT platform. Although the IT department has confronted rogue or shadow IT efforts in the past and dealt with End User Computing in the 1980s and 1990s, the recent technological advancements and the expanding level of IT literacy are changing the nature of how corporate IT and users of IT are managed. While there are numerous industry-oriented articles on the consumerization of IT, little academic research has appeared. This dearth of research publications highlights the need for theoretical and empirical investigation into this topic. The purpose of this minitrack is to provide a forum for presenting research in this new and important area. Suggested Topics Topics for this minitrack include, but are not limited to, the following: · Managing BYOD and CYOD in the enterprise · Organizational impact of consumer-oriented devices and applications · New organizational structures for corporate IT (vs. private IT) · Competitive advantages enabled by IT consumerization · Organizational design impacts as private and business boundaries increasingly blur · Digital co-creation as end-users have access to increasingly sophisticated consumer tools · Behavioral impacts of IT consumerization, for example, impacts on employee morale and job motivation · Issues pertaining to inter- and intra-organizational ecosystems (e.g., implementing a digital innovation platform with internal and/or external partners) · Managing the imbalance between IT supply and demand (e.g., frustrated users who believe the IT department cannot deliver quickly enough) · Challenges to security brought on by employees using their own devices at work · IT support and IT governance issues brought on by the consumerization of IT · Legal issues pertaining to data ownership and terms-of-service liability *MINITRACK CO-CHAIRS* Rob Nickerson San Francisco State University RNick(a)sfsu.edu <mailto:RNick@sfsu.edu> Iris Junglas Florida State University ijunglas(a)fsu.edu <mailto:ijunglas@fsu.edu> Sebastian Köffer University of Münster sebastian.koeffer(a)ercis.uni-muenster.de <mailto:sebastian.koeffer@ercis.uni-muenster.de>

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CFP: Special Issue on The Internet of Things in Business Datum: Sat, 03 Jan 2015 10:59:55 -0500 Von: rea <rea(a)acm.org> An: AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org ===*+*=*==*+*=*==*+*=*==*+*=*==*+*=*==*+*=*==*+*=*==*+*=*==*+*=*==*+*=*=== Call for Papers Special Issue of the American Journal of Business The Internet of Things in Business http://docrea.org/AJB/ **Special Issue Focus** Not many would question the impact of the Internet on business, communication, information, and society as a whole. This disruptive innovation has birthed innovative cyberjuggernauts such as Amazon, Facebook, and Google as well as worrisome denizens such as Anonymous, LulzSec, and too many others to mention. Now the interconnected entity is expanding to more than computing devices creating an intertwined mesh of everyday devices from bluetooth smart watches to cars autonomously transporting us between computer-controlled office environments from our managed networked homes. The Internet of Things (IoT) provides more powerful B2B and B2C opportunities than ever before. As IoT networks grow, we must re-envision all aspects of business. Consider how powerful targeted advertising could be when we know what consumers have in their refrigerator and pantry. Customized electronic billboards will no longer be limited to banner ad driven cookie information on Web pages; instead advertisers can create a custom profile of you on the spot given your geolocational data. Supply chain experts can manage and analyze connected assembly lines, factories, and warehouses to ensure delivery of a product they know you intend to purchase because your smart home has requested it. That is indeed a powerful long tail. Will the potential connectivity between smart cars and ride share apps such as Uber bring about new entrepreneurial opportunities? If your connected devices know your daily schedule will they automatically summon a ride at appropriate times? Will your iWatch equipped with health monitoring apps warn you and your physician when a potential health condition surfaces? The potential for new ideas and business models are only constrained by the imagination. How can businesses utilize the massive amounts of rich information, increased interactivity, and device connectedness? No longer will managers use asset tags or RFID. Instead devices will constantly report their own location. As more consumers become more connected in all aspects of their professional and personal lives businesses must consider how to best tailor interactions. A car dealer may already know how often someone from her local zip code searches for a new car via the Web, but what if the dealer knows that this potential customer has driven by her lot and looked at three specific models over the past month via her Google glasses? Will the dealer send a message the next time the potential customer drives by? Is that too invasive or what people want? As every single device--from a pacemaker to a power plant--collects and stores massive amounts of data every microsecond, the rich information complexity brings privacy and security challenges to the fore as well. People worry about drones flying around us in Orwellian fashion, but what about toilets recommending insurance rate adjustment? How can businesses facilitate trust relationships to harness interconnected interactions? This special issue will solicit papers from all areas of business in order to provide a multifaceted approach to how our diverse disciplines might approach the organizational shifts that occur within the IoT paradigm. Multi-disciplinary papers will be especially welcome. **Potential Topics (Partial List)** --Business Trust Relationships --Digital Asset Management --Entrepreneurial IoT Opportunities --Intelligent Traffic Management --Interconnected communication and networking --Internet Enabled Assembly and Logistics --Micro-transactions --Near Field Communications for Payment --Omnipresent Data Collection --Security and Privacy issues at home and in the workplace --Side channel data leakage --Smart Health Systems Management --Targeted Marketing **Special Issue Timeline** January 9 2015: (Optional) Inquiries and Abstracts Due March 6 2015: Submissions Due May 8 2015: Acceptance Notification June 26 2015: Revisions Due August 14 2015: Scheduled Publication **Preliminary Questions and Inquiries** Preliminary inquiries and abstracts are most welcome.
