New Encounters with Technology & Organisation Datum: Tue, 26 Jan 2016 12:02:30 +0000 Von: Séamas Kelly <seamas.kelly(a)ucd.ie> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Beyond Interpretivism? New Encounters with Technology and Organisation Programme Chairs Lucas Introna (Lancaster), Donncha Kavanagh (UCD), SÃ©amas Kelly (UCD), Wanda Orlikowski (MIT), Susan Scott (LSE) Keynote speakersÂ Â <http://www.abdn.ac.uk/socsci/people/profiles/tim.ingold> Tim Ingold <http://www.abdn.ac.uk/socsci/people/profiles/tim.ingold> and Karin Knorr Cetina <http://sociology.uchicago.edu/people/faculty/knorr_cetina.shtml> Organising Chairs Allen Higgins (UCD) and Maura Mulvey (UCD) Dublin, Ireland - 9-10 December 2016 (in advance of ICIS 2016 in Dublin) http://ifip82dublin.weebly.com <http://ifip82dublin.weebly.com/> IFIP WG 8.2 <http://ifipwg82.wikidot.com/conferences> has a distinguished history in shaping research agendas around information technology and organisation. The 1984 Manchester Working Conference (Fitzgerald et al. 1985), for instance, has been long regarded as a key moment in the movement to embrace more pluralistic, post-positivist research approaches within the information systems (IS) field. Subsequent working conferences built on this gathering by promoting and developing interpretive modes of enquiry into IS and organisational phenomena, thus shaping the formation of a generation of IS researchers. Now, more than three decades after the landmark Manchester event, we hope that Dublin in 2016 will provide a site to contemplate a re-gathering and re-focusing of attention on possible new kinds of research encounters with technology and organisation. To suggest a move âbeyondâ interpretivism is not to deny or diminish its importance; rather we want to build on and extend this tradition in novel and interesting ways. Specifically, if the interpretivist turn drew its legitimation primarily from the philosophical field of epistemology â where the distinction between truth and meaning making was explored â less attention was placed on other philosophical domains, such as ontology, ethics and aesthetics. Thus, we invite contributors to explore a broadening of âconventionalâ interpretivist approaches to understanding techno-organisational phenomena. In particular, we wish to provoke stimulating discussion between social scientists from different fields who collectively share an interest in technology and organisation. Examples of suggested topics for discussion include, but are not limited to: Process philosophy and ontologies of becoming (Whitehead 1978, Introna 2013, Chia 2002) Practice Theory (Schatzki et al. 2001, Nicolini 2013) Performativity (Austin 1962, Butler 1990, Mol 2002, MacKenzie 2006) Agential Realism (Barad 2007, Orlikowski and Scott 2008) Non-representational theory (Thrift 2007) Materiality, embodiment and spatialisation (Ingold 2000, Whatmore 2006, Malpas 2006) Affect and the body (Clough and Halley 2007, Burkitt 1999) Post-humanism and sociomateriality (Haraway 1991, Mol 2002, Suchman 2007) Phronetic social science (Flyvbjerg et al. 2012 Ecological approaches (Ingold 2012) Object-oriented ontology (Harman 2011, Meillassoux 2008) While priority will be given to the themes outlined in this call, we also welcome submissions on topics relevant to IFIP Working Group 8.2 <http://ifipwg82.org/>. The working conference will be held on the Friday and Saturday preceding ICIS 2016 in Dublin, Ireland. Paper submission: Full research papers should be no more than 7,000 words in length. Shorter papers (2,000 words maximum) describing work in progress may also be accepted for presentation at a poster session.

Fwd: [AISWorld] CFP : Policy Modelling and Policy Informatics Track - Dual IFIP EGOV and ePart Conference 2016

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CFP : Policy Modelling and Policy Informatics Track - Dual IFIP EGOV and ePart Conference 2016 Datum: Tue, 26 Jan 2016 11:49:41 +0000 Von: Yannis Charalabidis <yannisx(a)epu.ntua.gr> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> CALL FOR PAPERS - Dual IFIP EGOV and ePart 2016 Policy Modelling and Policy Informatics Track - www.egov-conference.org The dual 15th IFIP Electronic Government and 8th e-Participation Conference (IFIP EGOV and IFIP ePart) 2016 will be held from Monday, September 5th to Thursday, September 8th, 2016 under the local auspices of the United Nations University Operating Unit on Policy-Driven Electronic Governance (UNU-EGOV, http://egov.unu.edu/) and University of Minho (http://www.uminho.pt/en), Guimarães, Portugal TRACK CHAIRS -Maria A. Wimmer (lead), University of Koblenz-Landau, Germany -Theresa Pardo, Center for Technology in Government, SUNY, USA -Yannis Charalabidis, University of Aegean, Greece SCOPE The Policy Modelling and Policy Informatics Track focuses on supporting public policy making with innovative ICT therewith involving relevant stakeholders. It heavily involves multi-disciplinary research. The scope ranges from policy analysis and conceptual modeling to programming and visualization of simulation models, to help policy makers and stakeholders deliberate and evaluate policy decisions and explore new models of governance. Using computer simulations and decision support systems in developing, examining and explaining public policies has received a strong focus in e-government research since about a decade. With public policy we refer to decisions of governments, to governmental actions and intentions, to regulatory measures and/or funding priorities concerning a given thematic area of public concern that government is regulating. Public policy making has evolved as a domain of study supporting governments and their constituency with theories, methods, instruments and tools to analytically evaluate the past (causes, impact) and innovatively explore the future (potential effects) of a policy under consideration. Advances in simulation paradigms and in innovative ICT support as well as more active stakeholder engagement and more reliable simulation models lead to expectations of better informed governance and public policy development. The ultimate goal thereby is to make public policy making more transparent, open and collaborative. However, the complexity encompassed with modelling public policies demands for different political, economic, social, human and technical disciplines to work together to leverage the benefits of different approaches of understanding and designing a policy. This demands for multidisciplinary research and collaboration across disciplines. Yet, traditional fragmentation between disciplines keeps researchers within their own disciplines to develop policy models almost independently from each other. To fully address these challenges, researchers need to bring together their knowledge and share their expertise within a multidisciplinary collaboration. With multi-disciplinary research, existing concepts and approaches can be combined in an innovative way to achieve more powerful solutions, which fulfill the demands of more transparent, participative, data-driven and collaborative policy making. Areas of focus and interest include but are not limited to the following topics: . Foundations of policy modelling and policy informatics . Multi-disciplinary research and collaboration across disciplines . Methods, concepts and tools for policy analysis, including data and opinion mining, mapping, simulation, aggregation, and visualisation . Model building based on particular simulation paradigms and supported with conceptual modelling and simulation systems . Model evaluation, presentation of simulation outputs and interpretation of models . Quality of simulation models, understandability, transparency and trustworthiness of models . Impact assessment and contribution of modelling and simulation to better policy making . Engagement of stakeholders and open collaboration in policy making . Modelling and simulating dynamics of social-environmental interactions . Decision support in the public sector through information-centric and model-based analysis of evidence . Designing, managing, and evaluating information systems and infrastructures for policy construction, analysis, and implementation . Public policy issues including modelling and simulation and use of open data and/or social media . Methods and solutions to manage complexity of public policy contexts . Technology platforms supporting different modelling paradigms and integrating advanced features of mining, modelling and simulating public policy . Comparative analyses of policy cases, concepts of policy modelling etc. . Examples and best practices of innovative, open and collaborative public policy making Besides the Policy Modelling and Policy Informatics Track, the dual IFIP EGOV and ePart 2016 conference also hosts tracks on "electronic government", "electronic participation", "open government and open and big data", and "smart governance, smart government smart cities and smart regions". See http://www.egov-conference.org/ for more details. FORMATS Across its tracks, the dual IFIP EGOV and ePart 2016 conference hosts the following formats of contributions: . Completed research papers (max. 12 pages, published in the IFIP ePart proceedings of Springer LNCS) . Ongoing research and innovative projects (max. 8 pages, published in alternate proceedings by a IOS Press) Beyond the tracks, the dual IFIP EGOV and ePart 2016 conference also hosts . Poster presentations (max. 2 pages, to be exposed along the welcome reception on Tuesday evening) . Workshops and panels on pertinent issues (short abstracts, 2 pages), and . PhD colloquium submissions (max. 8 pages), all to be included in the alternate proceedings published by IOS Press. These formats encourage both scientific rigor and discussions of state of the art as well as innovative research approaches, work in progress, and studies of practical e-government, e-governance, e-participation or policy modelling projects along with papers on system implementations. All accepted completed research papers will be published by Springer Verlag (two volumes of LNCS). Accepted submissions in all other categories will be published by IOS Press. After the conference, the proceeding volumes will be submitted to Thompson Reuters for evaluation in order to be indexed in Web of Science Conference Proceedings. Prior to the conference (that is, on Sunday, 4th September), the 12th PhD student colloquium will be held providing doctoral students with an international forum guided by senior scholars for presenting their work, networking opportunities and cross-disciplinary inspiration. It will be dedicated to learning and understanding from each other. PhD research with topical threads of both conferences and the special tracks or further related topics relevant to ICT use in the public sector are welcome and can be presented.

ABOUT CADIZ: Being one of the ancient cities of Occidental Europe, the Province of Cadiz, which was baptized by the poet Lord Byron as “Ocean Mermaid”, can be highlighted by many things: its beaches, its places, its people... Inland, its climate with warm temperatures throughout the year and clear skies, harbors a maze of dunes, creeks, salt marshes and beaches of high ecological value, and has been chosen as the scenery of some films like James Bond’s film Die another day or the American film Knight and day. Numerous famous people have been in this city The coast: Cadiz, located between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, has 260 km of coast which can be enjoyed with its great variety of miles of sandy beaches with fine and white sand and clear blue water. Along the coast you can also appreciate the wildlife features of this area. Its history is ancient. Tartessos and Phoenicians visited this land more than 3,000 years ago. The Romans and Visigoths also dwelt it and from 711 was a Muslim territory until the second half of the thirteenth century. The passage of different cultures has left their mark in art and culture as well as in the gastronomy and the Flamenco that you will be able to enjoy. There are many places of interest and a large number of activities to be enjoyed in Cadiz. However, the beauty of it is that you can make it as active or as relaxing as you wish during your stay!

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] AMCIS 2016 CFP: Strategic Use of IS and IT in Non-Profits and Social Enterprises Datum: Sat, 23 Jan 2016 19:01:30 +0000 Von: Oakley, Richelle <oakleyr(a)savannahstate.edu> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Conference: 22nd Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS) Track: Strategic and Competitive Use of Information Technology Mini track: Strategic Use of IS and IT in Non-Profits and Social Enterprises Important dates: January 4, 2016: Manuscript submissions open March 2, 2016: Manuscript submission deadline at 10:00am PST, San Diego time April 2016: Author notification, revisions, and final, camera-ready papers due August 11-13, 2016: Present at AMCIS 2016 in San Diego, California ***Mini-track Description*** Many organizations operate with a primary mission to serve the common good. Non-profit organizations focus on impacting the root causes of social problems in communities. Social enterprises aim to improve human well-being using traditional business methods and commercial strategies. These organizations focus on long-lasting social issues such as poverty, homelessness, education inequality, financial instability, lack of healthcare access and knowledge, etc. Both non-profits and social enterprises have various constraints that impact technology adoption, diffusion, and utilization towards efforts in achieving their strategic goals. Examples include regulatory issues, heavy reliance on volunteer staff, limited finances, etc. Interestingly, given these salient factors, there has been minimal research that focuses on the strategic use of technology within these organization types. There is significant potential to examine and improve how these organization types harness the power of information systems (IS) and technology (IT) to accelerate social impact. Thus, it is essential to focus on IS/IT utilization, innovation, and strategic use within non-profit and social enterprise organizations. This mini-track solicits completed and research-in-progress papers addressing IS/IT issues in non-profits or social enterprises. Papers can be conceptual, theoretical, design, empirical, or case studies. Situated in non-profit or social enterprise organizations, topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Design, development, deployment, and use or utilization of IS/IT * Intra- and inter-organizational IS/IT issues * Individual attitudes, behaviors, or characteristics that impact strategic use of IS/IT * Multiple stakeholder perspectives on IS/IT issues * IS/IT governance or policy issues * Evaluation and assessment of IS/IT impact on organizational performance * Social media, networking, and analytics * Business intelligence and related tools * Innovative and novel IS/IT applications For complete instructions for authors and information about the conference, visit the AMCIS 2016 website at http://amcis2016.aisnet.org/index.php/sessions/call-for-papers. _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org

Bowker, Helena Karasti, and Volkmar Pipek How infrastructures are designed is a current area of research in a number of fields, including Computer-Supported Cooperative Work, Science and Technology Studies and Information Systems. Although there already are a number of special issues on the topic of Information Infrastructures (JAIS 2009, 2014; JCSCW 2006, 2010) and one to be published on Knowledge Infrastructures (S&TS 2016), this Special Issue is the first one to focus particularly on research that engages with a processual (in-the-making) perspective and/or design-oriented interest towards Information Infrastructures. This approach has been called the study and practice of Œinfrastructuring¹. It has been pointed out that the emergence of infrastructures is not only a question of ³being designed² in traditional sense, nor is it just ³happening² without some intentionality involved. A growing body of work has started to explore what is actually being done and taking place in infrastructuring in a wide variety of settings; others have proposed suggestions for design methodologies/approaches making room and accounting for infrastructuring as a longitudinal, unfolding process. Infrastructuring proposes new, original challenges to contemporary CSCW and Information System design in general by, for instance, extending the temporal, organizational, societal scopes and diversifying collaboration arenas from the common use, design and development to tailoring, appropriation, repair, maintenance and standardization, to including professionals from industry, formal organizational structures like standardization bodies and authorities as well as community members and citizens in informal, community-based initiatives. Topics of the Special Issue include, but are not limited to: - studies of infrastructuring Œin the wild¹ - theoretical/reflective articles on what the turn from the relational notion of II to the processual one of infrastructuring denotes - what could be learned from these studies towards developing design methods and approaches for infrastructuring - examples of participatory/collaborative infrastructuring approaches/methods - design cases and approaches that push traditional boundaries to involve communities not typically considered in CSCW - practice-based and practice-initiated design cases and approaches - cases and theoretical contributions to consolidate and improve design/infrastructuring methods and practices This Special Issue aims at collecting works that analyze the role of information and communication technologies in these collaborations, develop technological support for these arenas, and improve the methodological basis to analyze and design technologies for and within these arenas. We are interested in those arenas that cross the boundaries between (different) technology development practices and (different) domain practices. We aim to generate a new, practice-based grounding to consolidate design methodologies in a world of infrastructuring activities, and to refine analyses of infrastructuring activities in a world of method-guided technology development projects.

A promising approach, known as End-User Development, empowers end users to define and tailor the functions of their systems in order to satisfy their personal, local, and often task-specific needs. In the context of the Internet of Things, and the diverse tools and methodologies now available to support the design of interactive systems, the field of End-User Development finds itself at a critical juncture of growth and wide impact, as the need to support personal, context specific, and emergent needs largely exceeds what is known from more conventional interactive systems. This special issue will publish compelling papers exploring metaphors, interfaces, and development strategies for supporting users in customization and personalization of the Internet of Things. Contributions may take the form of studies, methodologies, or system implementations that explore context-dependent or application-specific behaviors of networked objects. Likewise, contributions that reflect on or take issue with the appropriateness of End-User Development as a strategy to face these challenges are welcome. Possible topics include: The key topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following: * Empowerment of end-users to understand, configure, personalize, and control Internet of Things applications * Design methods and approaches for end-users specific to the Internet of Things * Domain specific tools, architectures, and authoring environments for supporting end-user development * Contextual factors promoting end-user development practices * Sociable computing approaches for end-user development of Internet of Things ecologies * Novel methodologies for evaluating emerging end-user interactions with the Internet of Things Submit to: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tochi Author Guidelines: http://tochi.acm.org/authors Special Issue Timeline: * Submission due: March 22, 2016 (Earlier submissions are encouraged.) * Reviews due: April 30, 2016 * Notification to authors: May 15, 2016 * Revised version due: July 15, 2016 * Special issue published: Late 2016 For the complete Call-for-Papers visit: http://tochi.acm.org/end-user-development-for-the-internet-of-things/ CONTACT: Contact the special issue editors at eud-for-iot(a)TOCHI.acm.org with any questions. ‹ Univ.-Prof. Dr. Volkmar Pipek Professur für Computerunterstützte Gruppenarbeit und Soziale Medien/Fak.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] AMCIS 2016 CFP: Impact of IT on Strategic Innovation & Competitive Advantage Datum: Sun, 24 Jan 2016 22:44:01 +0800 Von: Abhishek Kathuria <kathuria(a)hku.hk> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> 22nd Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS), August 11 - 13, 2016, San Diego *** Mini Track: Impact of IT on Strategic Innovation & Competitive Advantage *** Main Track: Strategic and Competitive Use of Information Technology (SUIT) We invite you to submit your manuscripts for AMCIS 2016 in San Diego. Please consider the minitrack "Impact of IT on Strategic Innovation & Competitive Advantage" (please go to http://abhishekkathuria.com/call-for-papers/ for details) under the Strategic and Competitive Use of Information Technology (SUIT) track. *Description:* Information Systems (IS) are a competitive imperative in the digital economy of the 21st century. A number of studies in the IS literature have focused on the impact of information systems on firm performance and competitive advantage (e.g., Melville et al. 2004). The role of innovative organizational strategies as a key driver of competitive advantage is well established in the strategic management literature. In comparison, the role of Information Technology (IT) in facilitating strategic innovation, through which performance gains are realized, is a relatively under-explored area in the existing IS literature. IT is emerging as a vital element in enabling innovations in strategy, business models and management practice. Several examples affirm the importance of exploring the impact of IT on strategic innovation. For example, IT has enabled new business models for firms such as Amazon, Netflix, Uber and Airbnb. IT has facilitated service-oriented innovations in communication services, such as providing audio, video, interactive and social modes of communication through mobile Apps and other tools such as WeChat and WhatsApp. IT has enabled the emergence and sustained success of new business models based around the sharing economy and crowdsourcing (e.g., Agarwal et al. 2010; Rai and Sambamurthy 2006). IT has facilitated new innovations in digitized access and delivery of services and goods. Furthermore, IT has enabled information access and exchange in several sectors, including health care, education and travel. Likewise, IT can also facilitate new product and service development via its c apabilities to enhance knowledge creation (e.g., Kleis et al. 2012). These business model innovations, IT-enabled service-oriented innovations, digitized product and process innovations and associated information capabilities are the result of strategic innovation at the firm level. Thus, IT enabled strategies have emerged as a business imperative to foster innovation and competitive strategy in recent times. Despite the developments in practice around the role of IT in enabling several forms of innovation and innovative strategies, literature examining the role of information systems in this process is sparse. This mini-track solicits studies that examine the nuances associated with leveraging information technology for strategic innovation. Although the focus is on studies at the firm level, studies at the individual, team, group, or industry levels are also welcome. The main focus of the studies would be to explore how IT enables any or several innovative strategies for firm performance. This mini-track serves as a venue for a wide range of research methodologies, including empirical, case study, conceptual and simulation research. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: *How IT-enabled strategies lead to firm performance. *How IT strategy and firm strategy interact to result in value creation for firms. *Different facets of IT-enabled innovative strategies: IT-enabled service innovation, IT-enabled business innovation, IT-enabled business model innovation, and IT-enabled co-innovation. *Role of IT to manage, augment, or shape innovation. *Role of IT in new product development and process innovation. *Please click here for Call for Papers and important dates. We look forward to receiving your manuscripts. *Submission* Authors can submit Full Papers or Emergent Research Forum (ERF) papers. ERF papers are limited to 2,500 words (excluding references and appendices) and will be included in the conference proceedings either with the submitted paper or with the abstract of the paper. Manuscript submissions for AMCIS 2016 began on January 4, 2016 and the deadline for submissions is March 02, 2016 at 10:00 AM PST. *Minitrack Co-Chairs:* Abhishek Kathuria, Assistant Professor, School of Business, The University of Hong Kong Terence Saldanha, Assistant Professor, Carson College of Business, Washington State University Jiban Khuntia, Assistant Professor, Business School, University of Colorado Denver ________________________________________________________ Abhishek Kathuria, Ph.D. Assistant Professor of Innovation & Information Management School of Business, The University of Hong Kong Room 812, KK Leung Building, Pokfulam, Hong Kong www.abhishekkathuria.com<http://www.abhishekkathuria.com/> | (+852) 3917-8349<tel:%28%2B852%29%203917-8349> | kathuria(a)hku.hk<mailto:kathuria@hku.hk> HKU MBA #27 (#1 in Asia) Economist Full Time MBA Rankings; #29 Financial Times Global MBA Rankings _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org
