European Conference on Information Systems (ECIS 2018) hinweisen. Etwaige Mehrfachzustellungen über die verschiedenen Kanäle bitten wir dabei zu entschuldigen. Wir würden uns sehr über Einreichungen aus Ihren Reihen freuen. Mit freundlichen Grüßen Manuel Trenz Christian Matt Virpi Kristiina Tuunainen *CALL FOR PAPERS – ECIS 2018 Track "Personal ICT: Design, use and impacts"* *************************************************************** 26th European Conference on Information Systems (ECIS 2018) June 23rd – 28th 2018 / Portsmouth, UK (http://www.ecis2018.eu) http://ecis2018.eu/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/ECIS2018_Track23_Personal_ICT… *Deadline for paper submissions: November 27^th 2017* *************************************************************** *TRACK DESCRIPTION:* The rapid diffusion of powerful technology has infused our lives with a plentitude of devices and services. With more mobile devices than people on earth and a growing number of products and services entering individuals’ private sphere, this area of digitization calls for further attention. Such personal ICT serve a plentitude of purposes and range from devices such as smartphones, smartwatches, smart home and health trackers; services such as instant messengers and advanced personal assistants; to complex peer-to-peer ecosystems such as social networks, sharing services, and collaborative systems. Accordingly, this track focuses on the design, use and impacts of these devices, services and complex product-service systems that are preliminary aimed at individuals in their different and varying roles as consumers, family members, friends, and citizens. This track aims at conflating perspectives on (1) the unique aspects of designing and building such ICT, (2) their impacts on individuals, organizations, and society, as well as (3) the challenges in managing them. For the benefit of individuals, firms, and society, this track seeks to gather insights that can be used to actively shape – i.e. understand, facilitate, and if necessary limit - the role of these novel technologies in individuals’ everyday lives. The track aligns well with the ECIS 2018 conference theme “Beyond Digitization - Facets of Socio-Technical Change” since the digitization of individuals’ personal spheres is shaped by strong interactions between social and technical aspects. We encourage both full paper and research-in-progress paper submissions on the topic from all theoretical and methodological perspectives. Topics include but are not limited to: • Management and use of personal ICT − Interaction patterns with personal ICT − Discontinuance of personal ICT − Interdependencies between different devices and services in individuals’ ICT portfolios • Impact of personal ICT − Positive direct impacts (e.g., convenience, happiness, health improvements, …) − Negative direct impacts (e.g., exhaustion, physical well-being, …) − Indirect impacts on third parties (e.g., family, peers, society, organizations) − Rebound effects (e.g., reduced creativity) • Design of personal ICT − Approaches to develop ICT and related services tied to the needs of individuals − Design characteristics for personal ICT High quality and relevant papers from this track will be selected for fast-tracked development towards Internet Research (www.emeraldinsight.com/loi/intr). *TRACK CO-CHAIRS:* Manuel Trenz, University of Augsburg, Germany Christian Matt, University of Bern, Switzerland Virpi Kristiina Tuunainen, Aalto University, Finland *ASSOCIATE EDITORS:* Marc Adam, The University of Newcastle, Australia Benedikt Berger, LMU Munich, Germany Verena Dorner, KIT, Germany Pnina Fichman, Indiana University Bloomington, USA Russell Haines, Old Dominion University, USA Sabrina Hauff, University of Augsburg, Germany Aban Lubna, University of Canberra, Australia Brad McKenna, University of East Anglia, UK Jani Merikivi, Aalto University, Finland Christoph Peters, University of St. Gallen, Switzerland Jella Pfeiffer, KIT, Germany Verena Tiefenbeck, ETH Zürich, Switzerland Ofir Turel, California State University, Fullerton, USA Wael Soliman, University of Jyväskylä, Finland -- *Dr. Manuel Trenz* Akademischer Rat Universität Augsburg | Wirtschaftswissenschaftliche Fakultät Lehrstuhl für Information Systems und Management | Prof. Dr. Daniel Veit http://www.wiwi.uni-augsburg.de/de/bwl/veit/team/trenz/

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Call for papers 12th International Workshop On Value Modelling and Business Ontologies (VMBO), VUA Amsterdam, The Netherlands Datum: Thu, 19 Oct 2017 18:46:11 +0000 Von: Gordijn, J. <j.gordijn(a)vu.nl> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Call for papers 12th International Workshop On Value Modelling and Business Ontologies (VMBO), VUA Amsterdam, The Netherlands See also: https://vmbo2018.e3value.com/ Special theme: Value-aware design of information systems Increasingly, information systems have a business and consumer value aspect. For example, end-user services such as Netflix and Spotify actually are information systems that produce economic value directly. In this edition of VMBO, we are seeking contributions that discuss the influence of new business insights (e.g. service-dominant logic) on information system design and the other way around. The importance of modelling the essence of enterprises on a level that abstracts from operational details is increasingly recognized. Two recognized enterprise modelling approaches are value modelling and business ontologies. Business ontologies provide abstract descriptions of enterprises in their business context, focusing on what is needed to create and transfer value. Value modelling is a business modelling approach that focuses on the value objects exchanged in business networks. Business ontology and value modelling research is conducted using instruments like REA (Resources, Events, Agents), the Business Model Canvas, the e3value tool set, VDML and the Enterprise Engineering framework. The goals of the VMBO workshop series are to bring together researchers with an interest in value modelling and business ontology in order to present and discuss the current state of enterprise or business modelling and to identify key areas for further research. The theme of this year's workshop is value aware design of information system, but other papers are welcome as well. If you are interested in joining, please submit a paper in the following categories: * full paper (maximum of eight pages), which describes original research contributions, present problems or challenges encountered in practice or report industrial cases and practices; * short discussion paper (maximum of four pages), which describe your main ideas. We encourage you to focus on ideas in progress for which you would like to get feedback from other workshop participants. Full papers will be published with CEUR proceedings. Also, the best full papers will be invited to submit an extended version of the paper to a special issue of Organisational Design & Enterprise Engineering (Springer). We also support the submission of VMBO papers (both short and full) afterwards to a special issue of a journal, e.g. the Journal of Applied Ontology (JAO) or the Journal of Emerging Technologies in Accounting (JETA). Note that papers submitted as short papers will be reviewed only marginally. The program committee will use the papers to put together a final program; the aim is to accommodate all relevant papers with sufficient quality. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to * Service ontology for business * Service-oriented view of business ontology * Enterprise Engineering * Business modelling of service exchanges * Value modelling fundamentals * Value modelling applications and experiences * Business ontology fundamentals * Business ontology applications and experiences * Role of value modelling in enterprise architecture * Ontology-driven enterprise system development * Ontology-aware enterprise systems * Pragmatic Web Ð theory and applications * Ontological representations of aggregated data * Business ontology / value models for auditing * Business ontology / value models for managerial decision making * Business ontology / value models for strategy exploration * Business ontology / value models for business process management Important dates * Jan 7, 2018 Paper submission deadline * Jan 21, 2018 Notification of acceptance * Feb 7, 2018 Camera ready for full papers * Feb 7, 2018 Registration deadline * Feb 26-27, 2018 VMBO Workshop, Amsterdam, The Netherlands How to submit Submit your paper preferably in PDF format and following the proceedings style of Springer LNCS on Easychair SIKS The workshop is organized in cooperation with SIKS (Netherlands Research School for Information and Knowledge Systems). SIKS-PhD-students can participate for free, but there is a limited number of seats available. SIKS PhD candidates are strongly encouraged to participate. They can include participation in the workshop in their educational program. Venue VMBO 2018 will be held at the VUA Amsterdam, The Netherlands. The VUA campus is just one train stop away from Schiphol airport. Moreover, the Thalys (international high speed train) also stops at Schiphol airport. There are hotels in the neighbourhood of the university campus (walking distance). If participants want to stay in the city centre in Amsterdam that is also possible. The VU campus can be reached by metro or tram from the city centre. _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Cfp: JSIS special issue on Digital Work and Organizational Transformation Datum: Thu, 19 Oct 2017 08:15:39 +0000 Von: Galliers, Robert <rgalliers(a)bentley.edu> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Call for Papers: Strategic Perspectives on Digital Work and Organizational Transformation Special Issue The Journal of Strategic Information Systems Guest Editors Joao Baptista, Warwick Business School, UK Mari-Klara Stein, Copenhagen Business School, Denmark Jungwoo Lee, Yonsei University, South Korea Mary Beth Watson-Manheim, University of Illinois at Chicago, USA Stefan Klein, WWU Munster, Germany Continuing the tradition of publishing research on the strategic significance of IT in organizations, this special issue of The Journal of Strategic Information Systems seeks original research on strategic perspectives on the future of work and digital transformation of modern organizations. Strategy often lags behind digital transformations in the workplace that emerge bottom-up driven by user’s adoption of new digital media. This special issue takes a strategic perspective, by interrogating the strategic significance of the digital transformation of organizing, and the role of strategy in driving this process. Technology driven organizational transformation is often presented as pushed by organizations (Besson and Rowe, 2012) but more recent studies suggest we need a closer look at actual practices (Peppard et al., 2014, Whittington, 2014) and a more grounded view of digital transformations that better capture emerging movements such as agile (Rigby et al., 2016) and open strategy (Baptista et al., 2017, Hautz et al., 2017). The special issue follows from previous calls for research in this area (Forman et al., 2014, Zammuto et al., 2007) but is particularly interested in research that captures the digitization of the workplace with an emphasis on implications to strategy and the nature of organizing covering strategic aspects and impacts of new dynamics and patterns of work, new structures and ways of organizing, new capabilities and practices, leadership styles and approaches, places and spaces of work with an outlook into the future of organizing. Internal communication tools of the late 1990s based on email and intranets are gradually being enhanced and often replaced by more powerful platforms based on social media, collaborative and networking software that keep workers connected to content and colleagues (Martini et al., 2009, McAfee, 2006) but eventually become integral to the lifeblood and day-to-day running of the organization (Baptista, 2009). These tools are increasingly supported by more advanced data-driven intelligent engines (Newell and Marabelli, 2015, Galliers et al., 2017) that learn from use of documents and exchanges to suggest actions and expected behaviors. This is the vision portrayed by the platform companies such as Microsoft, Google, Facebook and others that are positioning themselves as complete digital solutions for the enterprise. Many large organizations enticed by the potential of a more connected, engaged, empowered and smart workforce adopt these technologies in the hope of driving innovation and attracting new talent and more agile teamwork and flexibility – ultimately adding value and gaining competitive advantage (Andriole, 2010). However, while striving to achieve these benefits, organizations face significant challenges (Kane et al., 2010) and unintended consequences (Baptista et al., 2010) often owing to misinformed views on the social and contextual dynamics of knowledge systems (Marabelli and Newell, 2012) that require new perspectives to understand the role of digital media in organizational activity and strategy (Von Krogh, 2012, Spagnoletti et al., 2015, Haefliger et al., 2011, Majchrzak et al., 2013). Early research on adoption of email (Lee, 1994, Markus, 1994, Orlikowski, 2000, Cecez-Kecmanovic et al., 1999, Watson-Manheim et al., 1998), intranets (Newell et al., 2001, Damsgaard and Scheepers, 2000, Lamb, 2003, Lamb and Davidson, 2005, Duane and Finnegan, 2003) and knowledge management systems (Swan et al., 1999, Pan and Scarbrough, 1998, Jarvenpaa and Tanriverdi, 2003, Wasko and Faraj, 2000) illustrate the importance of the social, formal and informal dimensions at the core of these technologies in the workplace. The valuable lessons from this early work have somehow been lost, and despite recent work on the effects of social media use within organizations (Huang et al., 2013, Leonardi et al., 2013, Leonardi and Vaast, 2016), there is insufficient research capturing the effects of these new and more advanced digital media that now shape modern workplaces. Research is required into the deep effects of these new and more advanced digital platforms in transforming work practices and perceptions of individual roles and identity (Stein et al., 2013) and the very nature of work (Lee, 2016) – and ultimately the strategy and structural arrangements of today’s organizations (Baptista et al., 2017). We do know that many organizations are moving forward with strategic intent to integrate these advanced workplace technologies in the fabric of their organizations (Dery et al., 2017), seeking more open and fluid collaboration, sharing and engagement (Vodanovich et al., 2010). However, this journey fundamentally ‘rewires’ the organization and the work environment (Watson-Manheim et al., 2002). Tensions emerge when traditional organizational structures based on centralized and command-and-control systems persist even as new ways of working based on digital platforms for open participation are expected (Denyer et al., 2011, Watson-Manheim and Belanger, 2007). These tensions become the catalysts for the development of new capabilities (Huang et al., 2015) that have the potential to move organizations towards new forms of organizing and strategizing (Baptista et al., 2017). It is therefore important to explore these deep effects of new workplace technologies and their potential for transforming the dynamics, patterns and structure of organizations –, all in the context of their strategic significance. The resultant research agenda requires novel theoretical and methodological approaches to observe the unfolding of the effects of these new technologies in the workplace, and on practices, policy, governance, strategy, leadership and other fundamental aspects of organizing. It is also worth considering the usefulness of established theories that have been developed based on traditional organizations, pre-digitization, and consider the need to develop new theory or deploy theories from other fields to explain the new dynamics and deeper effects of digitization in modern workplace settings. Forward-looking studies are encouraged, in particular those investigating the effects of increased automation, machine learning, augmented reality and the fusion of digital, technological and human dimensions in the workplace. Some of the topics of interest of this special issue include the following: - Strategic opportunities and drivers of adoption of digital workplace technologies for organizations and individuals - Emerging patterns and dynamics of work: organizational and individual perspectives - Features and functions of new workplace technologies and their role in organizational transformation and strategy - Process, phases and mechanisms of integration of workplace technologies into the fabric and strategy of organizations - Changing of spatial and temporal dimensions of work - Organizational adjustments to increased connectedness, participation and engagement in the strategic progression of the organization - Structural mechanisms and framing devices to legitimise digital working - Emergent tensions in digital work and the development of new organizational and individual capabilities - Work fragmentation and nomadic work practices - Implications (e.g., policy and governance) of increased feedback, transparency and open collaboration - Managing and structurally integrating digital activity and feedback as a strategic input in the organization - New structural and strategic conditions to support employee participation and engagement - Emergence of new practices and forms of leadership in modern workplace settings. We welcome studies that address one or more of these topics or that specifically contribute to our understanding of digital work in modern workplace settings, and their significance to strategizing. The special issue is open to any type of research and methodological approach and encourages innovative research methods and designs that allow for rigorous but rich and current insights into this phenomenon. Either qualitative or quantitative, or mixed, approaches are welcome. We also expect to publish exploratory research based on detailed observations of practices through participant observations and shadowing that provide the basis to advance new concepts and theory. The analysis of large data sets based on computational methods and text analysis is also welcomed. We also welcome studies that draw on concepts and theories from other fields such as strategy, organizational studies and HR. There will be opportunity for interested authors to discuss their research plans with members of the editorial team of the special issue at the 5th CNoW pre-ICIS 2017 workshop. Participation in this event is highly recommended and requires sending an email with a two-page summary of the research to one of the editors by 4th December 2017. This summary should include 1. Key phenomena and research question 2. Theoretical and conceptual framing 3. Methods and case material 4. Expected contributions bearing in mind the strategic locus of JSIS. Logistical details regarding location and timing for this session will be provided to the participants in due course. To be considered for publication, papers must be submitted electronically by March 31st, 2018. In line with JSIS convention, selected manuscripts will be sent out for blind review.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CfP: IS Innovation, Adoption and Diffusion at ECIS 2018 Datum: Wed, 18 Oct 2017 09:31:21 +0000 Von: Laumer, Sven <sven.laumer(a)uni-bamberg.de> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> **************************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS ECIS 2018 26th European Conference on Information Systems (ECIS 2018) Track 25 IS Innovation, Adoption and Diffusion http://ecis2018.eu/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/ECIS2018_Track25_IS-Innovatio… June 23-28, 2018, Portsmouth, UK (http://ecis2018.eu/) Deadline for paper submissions: November 27, 2017 (strict deadline!) **************************************************************************** Short Description of the Track When the technology acceptance model (TAM, Davis 1989) was developed in 1989 computers were new and alien to many organizations and individuals. At that time, technologies were designed to automate administrative and transactional work typically by utilizing large enterprise systems. Now digital technologies are ubiquitous in every aspect of our societies, work, and lives. With an unrelenting pace of innovation, organizations and consumers now face many new dilemmas, new questions, and new uncertainties. On the one hand, users might feel challenged to adapt to changes induced by new digital technologies. On the other hand, users might employ digital technologies to reap benefits for the individual or organization. Studying these different forms of technology use is important, as Thomas Davenport concluded in his keynote at the CIO symposium at ICIS 2015 in Fort Worth, as a discipline, "we need to begin preparing people for the impacts of these technologies". While digital technologies infuse and shape our daily lives, many core theoretical perspectives derive from the time when computers where new and not widely used by many individuals. Hence, there is a need to reconsider old theories, to develop new theories and to employ novel methodological approaches in order to understand how individuals, organizations or societies adopt and use information technology. Therefore, we solicit contributions that advance theory and employ diverse methodological approaches (e.g., qualitative, quantitative, design science, action research, data analytics etc.) that extend understanding of the diffusion of digital technologies. Potential topics include: * Organizational adoption and use of digital technologies * Individual adoption, use, and discontinuance of digital technologies * Factors enabling or inhibiting acceptance and use of digital technologies * Positive and negative consequences of using digital technologies for both organizations and individuals * New theoretical perspectives on acceptance, use and diffusion of digital technologies * New methodological approaches to study acceptance, use and diffusion of digital technologies Track Co-Chairs Sven Laumer, University of Bamberg, Germany Jason Thatcher, Clemson University, USA Christian Maier, University of Bamberg, Germany Track Associate Editors Bassellier, Geneviève Bernardi, Roberta Cheung, Christy MK Choudri, Jyoti Claggett, Jennifer Dwivedi, Yogesh Eckhardt, Andreas Haggerty, Nicole Hsu, Carol Jeyaraj, Anand Koch, Stefan Mills, Annette Miranda, Shaila M.
