-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] [AJIS] New Section Published: Revisiting Concepts and Theories in Information Systems and Technology Datum: Tue, 23 Jan 2018 02:20:54 +0000 Von: John Lamp <john.lamp(a)deakin.edu.au> An: ISHoDs (IS-hods(a)list.utas.edu.au) <IS-hods(a)list.utas.edu.au>, ISAus (IS-Aus(a)list.utas.edu.au) <IS-Aus(a)list.utas.edu.au>, ISWorld <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Hi, The Australasian Journal of Information Systems has just published its latest special section. Given the rapid proliferation in the technology advancement and usage of, as well as access and exposure to, information systems over time, a research notes special section was commissioned to encourage scholars in the field to revisit existing concepts and theories in information systems and technology. Specifically, research notes in the special section offer fresh insights on how the conceptual boundaries of and methodological approaches to utilize these concepts and theories can be expanded and/or reconfigured so as to maintain currency and relevance in the pursuit of advancing theory and practice in the area. Lim, W. (2018). Revisiting Concepts and Theories in Information Systems and Technology. Australasian Journal of Information Systems, 22. doi:http://dx.doi.org/10.3127/ajis.v22i0.1733 Abstract: A Preface to the Research Notes Special Section on Revisiting Concepts and Theories in Information Systems and Technology Gupta, G., Tan, K., Ee, Y., & Phang, C. (2018). Resource-Based View of Information Systems: Sustainable and Transient Competitive Advantage Perspectives. Australasian Journal of Information Systems, 22. doi:http://dx.doi.org/10.3127/ajis.v22i0.1657 Abstract: The resource-based view (RBV), or resource-based theory, is one of the oldest and most influential theories in the field of information systems. This paper contends that it is timely to revisit, reflect on, and reposition RBV to ensure its continued disciplinary relevance and progress. In doing so, this paper (i) provides a succinct and sharp evaluation of the conventional RBV of information systems that firms use to establish sustainable competitive advantage, and (ii) makes an original contribution by introducing a contemporary RBV of information systems that firms can use to establish transient competitive advantage. Both these contributions should advance the current and future understanding of information systems as (a) an internal firm resource, (b) a source of competitive advantage, and (c) a driver of firm performance. Lim, W. (2018). Dialectic Antidotes to Critics of the Technology Acceptance Model: Conceptual, Methodological, and Replication Treatments for Behavioural Modelling in Technology-Mediated Environments. Australasian Journal of Information Systems, 22. doi:http://dx.doi.org/10.3127/ajis.v22i0.1651 Abstract: The technology acceptance model (TAM) is a prominent and parsimonious conceptual lens that is often applied for behavioural modelling in technology-mediated environments. However, TAM has received a great deal of criticism in recent years. This article aims to address some of the most pertinent issues confronting TAM through a rejoinder that offers dialectic antidotes-in the form of conceptual, methodological, and replication treatments-to support the continued use of TAM to understand the peculiarities of user interactions with technology in technology-mediated environments. In doing so, this article offers a useful response to a common but often inadequately answered question about how TAM can continue to be relevant for behavioural modelling in contemporary technology-mediated environments. Namvar, M., Cybulski, J., Phang, C., Ee, Y., & Tan, K. (2018). Simplifying Sensemaking: Concept, Process, Strengths, Shortcomings, and Ways Forward for Information Systems in Contemporary Business Environments. Australasian Journal of Information Systems, 22. doi:http://dx.doi.org/10.3127/ajis.v22i0.1654 Abstract: Sensemaking is a popular and useful organizational behavior concept that is gaining visibility in the field of information systems. However, it remains relatively unknown compared to more established information systems concepts like technology acceptance and resistance. To enhance and propel greater use of sensemaking in information systems, this article offers a systematic explanation of sensemaking, specifically focusing on its concept, process, strengths, and shortcomings, as well as discussing ways forward for information systems in contemporary business environments. Samhan, B. (2018). Revisiting Technology Resistance: Current Insights and Future Directions. Australasian Journal of Information Systems, 22. doi:http://dx.doi.org/10.3127/ajis.v22i0.1655 Abstract: Nuance conceptualization of technology resistance is needed due to the different conceptualizations that exist in the extant literature. This paper calls for information systems (IS) researchers to begin exploring technology resistance using novel perspectives. The paper also provides a guideline for conceptualizing technology resistance away from the common existing conceptualization that is shaped through theories of adoption and resistance-to-change. The goal is to encourage future research to conceptualize technology resistance beyond the typical findings available in the literature and provide more insights in light of the provided arguments and suggestions. Taxén, L. (2018). Reconfiguring Sociomateriality from a Neurobiological Perspective. Australasian Journal of Information Systems, 22. doi:http://dx.doi.org/10.3127/ajis.v22i0.1645 Abstract: The aim of this paper is to propose a reconfiguration of sociomateriality (SM) from a neurobiological perspective, which maintains the relational ontology of SM without relapsing into untenable entanglement positions of strong SM (SSM). -=-=-=- Call for Papers AJIS publishes high quality contributions to the global Information Systems (IS) discipline with an emphasis on theory and practice on the Australasian context. Topics cover core IS theory development and application (the nature of data, information and knowledge; formal representations of the world, the interaction of people, organisations and information technologies; the analysis, design and deployment of information systems; the impacts of information systems on individuals, organisations and society), IS domains (e-business, e-government, e-learning, e-law, etc) and IS research approaches. Research and conceptual development based in a very wide range of epistemological methods are welcomed. All manuscripts undergo double blind reviewing by at least 2 well qualified reviewers. Their task is to provide constructive, fair, and timely advice to authors and editor. AJIS welcomes research and conceptual development of the IS discipline based in a very wide range of epistemologies. Different types of research paper need to be judged by different criteria. Here are some assessment criteria that may be applied: * Relevance - topic or focus is part of the IS discipline. * Effectiveness - paper makes a significant contribution to the IS body of knowledge. * Impact - paper will be used for further research and/or practice. * Uniqueness - paper is innovative, original & unique. * Conceptual soundness - theory, model or framework made explicit. * Argument - design of the research or investigation is sound; methods appropriate. * Clarity - Topic is clearly stated; illustrations, charts & examples support content. * Reliability - data available; replication possible. * References - sound, used appropriately, and sufficient - appropriate AJIS articles referenced * Style - appropriate language, manuscript flows. This journal provides immediate open access to its content on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge. AJIS has been published since 1993 and appears in the Index of Information Systems Journals, is ranked "A" by both the Australian Council of Professors and Heads of Information Systems and the Australian Business Deans' Council. In addition to web distribution, AJIS is distributed by EBSCO, it is listed in Cabell's International Directory and is indexed by EBSCO, Elsevier, Scopus and the Directory of Open Access Journals.

It is open to individuals and groups of students (bachelor, master and PhD students). *The winner (individual or group) will be awarded with 500 €*. Three individuals or groups (finalists) will be selected to present their proofs of concept at SLERD 2018 and attend the conference for free. ASLERD will cover also stay expenses (hotel and meals) for two representatives per finalist. *DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT CONTEXT and GOALS* Smart Learning Ecosystems should perform at best on all the dimensions that contribute to the well-being of students and all players involved in the development of a learning process: /infrastructures, food, environment, info/admin services, mobility, safety, social interaction, satisfaction, challenges, self-fulfillment /[1]. Being inspired by the flow theory [2] and by the Maslow’s pyramid [3], we can state that: ecosystems are smart when /“individuals that take part in the local processes achieve a high level of skills and, at the same time, are also strongly motivated and engaged by continuous and adequate challenges, provided that their primary needs are reasonably satisfied”./ The smartness of learning ecosystems, thus, is not created merely through the availability of digital infrastructures and applications. When technologies are both available and adopted enthusiastically, they can start to make a difference in both simplifying and accelerating progress toward the achievement of system smartness. One has to keep in mind, however, that technologies are smart not because they are capable of replacing human reasoning but, rather because they can help towards achieving a people centered smartness, through streamlining mundane organisational tasks, and enhancing the skills of all actors involved in learning processes. Our duty, with the help of technology, is to support learning ecosystems (formal, informal, non-formal) to develop their people centered smartness towards becoming incubators of social innovation and engines of sustainable regional development./Smartness is a goal/ and we can support our learning ecosystems along the process to achieve it by proposing solutions capable to solve or mitigate problems that prevent the learning ecosystems to be people centered. Examples of problems detection can be found in the draft of [4]. We expect students, wishing to take part in the contest, to analyze their learning ecosystem, detect problems and find solutions that can help their, and as well other learning ecosystems, to get smarter. ========================================== Important dates: --------------------------------------------------------- • Deadline for ideas submission: *February 15, 2018* • Selection of best ideas: March 15, 2018 • Submission of final proofs of concept and prototypes: March 30, 2018 • Selection of the best 3 proofs of concepts and prototypes: April 15, 2018 • Presentation and demo at SLERD 2017 and winner announcement: May 23 and 24, 2018 ========================================================= Join ALSLERD (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASLERD) and share our vision on the future of Smart Learning Ecosystems: Timisoara declaration <http://www.mifav.uniroma2.it/inevent/events/aslerd/docs/TIMISOARA_DECLARATI…> See ASLERD website (www.aslerd.org) for Request of membership, membership fees and legal ========================================================= -- Mailing-Liste: wi(a)lists.kit.edu Administrator: wi-request(a)lists.kit.edu Konfiguration: https://www.lists.kit.edu/wws/info/wi

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] CALL FOR ABSTRACTS: “The Future of Work and Innovation in a Networked Society” Symposium, Berlin, May 15, 2018 Datum: Mon, 22 Jan 2018 09:54:14 +0100 Von: Hanna Krasnova <krasnova(a)uni-potsdam.de> Antwort an: Hanna Krasnova <krasnova(a)uni-potsdam.de> An: wi(a)lists.kit.edu *CALL FOR ABSTRACTS: “The Future of Work and Innovation in a Networked Society” Symposium of the Weizenbaum Institute for the Networked Society: The German Internet Institute to be held in *Berlin, Germany, on May 15, 2018. The Weizenbaum Institute for the Networked Society: The German Internet Institute is organizing a symposium on Tuesday, May 15, 2018 on the subject of"The Future of Work and Innovation in a Networked Society" and invites you to submit abstracts for contributions. The aim of the symposium is to bring together different disciplinary perspectives (e.g., from communication and social science, legal studies, computer science, economics science andengineering science) on the transformation of the working world and of innovation models in the digital society and to identify and discuss the key challenges for the creation of a self-determined, creative and innovative society. Digitalization is one of the central driving forces behind current transformations both in the working world and in the innovation models of industries andsociety. It affects millions of jobs, changes employment structures in companies and at the same time creates new possibilities for creative workers andcitizens. It provides space for innovative approaches to the organization of work by making new forms of collaboration among diverse constituencies possible (and necessary as well), but also enables new ways of globally fragmenting work, helping organisations to develop open innovation models ofpractice. It transforms qualification and skills requirements as well as forms of blended learning. Digitalization processes also bring new relevance to thequestion of how self-determination can be safeguarded and developed in the world of work and innovation. This concerns, on the one hand, the new possibilities for monitoring and control and the issue of the autonomy of the working population. Also, the risks of precarisation, which particularly emerge due to the development of the platform economy, must be contained. On the other hand, many creative and innovative products and services evolve from flexible working environments where the dividing lines between working and private sphere are blurred and new models of collaboration, interaction andmodels of work are tested. The symposium will specifically focus on self-determination in these changing working environments. Self-determination means that digitalization should not be seen as an unavoidable fate; instead, our capacity to shape it should be emphasized. Also, self-determination is anecessary prerequisite for any creative work – in social contexts as well as in working environments, where permanently employed people work together with click-work-forces. Of course, power relations must also be taken into account. Thus, the current form of digitalization reflects to a considerable extent the interests of a small group of powerful companies (and states) as well as the dominant “engineering ideologies”. It is therefore all the more important to make this shaping of thedigitalization process visible and to develop approaches that strengthen the possibilities for self-determination. Thematic priorities of the symposium Thesymposium will highlight current changes in the world of work and innovation through digitalisation and the internet, thus linking up with the theme “Working Worlds of the Future” of the Science Year 2018.

The broader use of agile methods leads to intensive organizational change activities that aim at improving agility as a core discipline of the digital enterprise. The transformation has an impact on all levels of the organization including the individual, the end-user, and the customer. Other non-IT functions get increasingly in touch with agile principles and practices. While enterprises are experimenting with the extended use of the agile way of working, research has mainly analyzed the ongoing change from a software development perspective. For this minitrack, we seek to attract research contributions that extend existing research by focusing on socio-technical, organizational, individual, and managerial challenges of scaling and extending the use of agile methods. We welcome conceptual, empirical, and design-oriented contributions for this mini-track. Papers must be submitted through the conference website: https://amcis2018.aisnet.org/ You can find the paper submission guidelines and template here: https://amcis2018.aisnet.org/submissions/types-of-submissions/ Important dates: - January 2018: System opens for general paper submissions - February 28, 2018: Deadline for paper submissions - April 17, 2018: Notification of initial decision on submitted papers - TBD: Deadline for camera-ready revisions - TBD: Notification of decision on revised camera-ready papers Minitrack Co-chairs: - Andreas Drechsler, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand - Bettina Horlach, University of Hamburg, Germany -- Mailing-Liste: wi(a)lists.kit.edu Administrator: wi-request(a)lists.kit.edu Konfiguration: https://www.lists.kit.edu/wws/info/wi

Fwd: [AISWorld] Submission Deadline (March 5, 2018) Approaching: CFP -- Internet Research Special Issue on the Sharing Economy
by Gustaf Neumann 22 Jan '18

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Submission Deadline (March 5, 2018) Approaching: CFP -- Internet Research Special Issue on the Sharing Economy Datum: Sat, 20 Jan 2018 16:34:35 -1000 Von: Bo Xiao <boxiao(a)hawaii.edu> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Special issue call for papers from Internet Research Guest Editors: Dr. Bo Xiao, University of Hawaii at Manoa (boxiao(a)hawaii.edu) Dr. Eric Lim, University of New South Wales (e.t.lim(a)unsw.edu.au) Dr. Chee-Wee Tan, Copenhagen Business School (cta.itm(a)cbs.dk) Dr. Zach Lee, University of Nottingham Ningbo China ( zach.lee(a)nottingham.edu.cn) Important: Authors whose paper(s) were accepted to the Sharing Economy mini-track at AMCIS 2017 and HICSS 2017 are strongly encouraged to contact one of the guest editors about fast tracking your paper(s) to the special issue. Submission Deadline (extended): March 5, 2018 Motivation and Aim of the Special Issue Sharing is ingrained in the fabric of society and efficient access to goods and services constitutes a major force driving much of the economic activity today. With greater connectivity brought about by the proliferation of internetworking technologies, it has become much easier for individuals to circumvent spatial and temporal barriers during interactions, thereby giving rise to a novel Sharing Economy that is structured around the disintermediation of conventional channels of commerce in the exchange of both tangible and intangible resources. The sharingeconomy has gained notable attention within mainstream media as a new economic paradigm that leverages peer-to-peer technological platforms to facilitate exchange of resources among individuals who are joined via fluid relational networks. Almost overnight, numerous peer-to-peer platforms—in the likes of crowd-working (e.g., Airbnb, Uber, Amazon Mechanic Turk, E-Lance, Fiverr), co-innovation (e.g., Mindmixer, Social Innovator), crowd-funding (e.g., Kickstarter, Indiegogo), crowd-searching (e.g., Crowdfynd, CrowdSearching), and crowd-voting (e.g., California Report Card, Threadless) — have sprung up to facilitate both individuals and/or organizations to pool resources in resolving problems. While there are many practitioners who have prophesized the sharing economy as a game-changer for how organizations and society function, there are also a number of detractors who questioned the uncertain and potentially disruptive future that is brought about by such peer-to-peer exchanges. Critics have painted a dismal picture of the sharing economy as a means for individuals and/or firms to dodge proper regulations and live beyond their means, which in turn contributes to doomsday scenarios of massive job displacements and spending habits detrimental to society. In light of the opportunities and challenges posed by the sharing economy, there is a clear urgency for a systematic and thorough scrutiny of how value creation and appropriation can take place within such economic environments while minimizing its negative impact to society. The aim of this special issue of Internet Research is to sensitize both academics and practitioners to the latest trends and developments in the sharing economy in order to determine how value can be created and appropriated within this novel economic environment powered primarily by technology. This special issue embraces both retrospective and progressive views of how the sharing economy has evolved and would transform with technological advances. We welcome papers that identify and address knowledge gaps in how emergent technologies are shaping the access and sharing of resources within online peer-to-peer communities. Papers that subscribe to inter-disciplinary perspectives and/or adopt mixed methods are particularly welcome. Topics of Interest Topics of interest of the special issue include, but are not limited to: Collaborative consumption and production in sharing economy Crowdfunding and communal investment Crowdsourcing and open innovation Crowd platform strategies Data privacy and security in sharing economy Design and innovation of crowd platforms Digital business models of sharing economy Digital labor markets and workforce management in sharing economy Disruptive innovation in sharing economy Market mechanics of sharing economy Policy formulation for sharing economy Reputation and trust in sharing economy Social network in sharing economy Socio-economic and political challenges of sharing economy Value appropriation in sharing economy Deadlines Submission due date: March 5th, 2018 First round reviews: May 1st, 2018 Revisions due: June 15th, 2018 Second round decision: August 1st, 2018 Revisions due: September 1st, 2018 Final editorial decision: September 15th, 2018 Please see our author guidelines for more details and submission instructions. Submissions to Internet Research are made using ScholarOne Manuscripts, the online submission and peer review system. Please be sure to select this special issue option when you submit your paper through ScholarOne.
