Subject: [AISWorld] Cfp: AMCIS 2019 SIGODIS Mini- track "Customer
Experience and Organizational Intelligence"

*Track: Semantics, Ontologies, Intelligence and Intelligent
Systems (Sponsored by SIGODIS)Mini-Track: Customer Experience and
Organizational Intelligence*

Increasingly, organizations are interacting with current and potential
customers across a plenitude of IT-mediated “touch points”. Consequently,
coordinating strategies will likely dominate management thought in the near
and intermediate term as the number and variety of these “touch points”
continues to expand. Effective strategies will rely on quality practitioner
and academic research on a variety of issues, such as how to: differentiate
user experience across points of interaction, increase reach to the
consumer, improve conversion rates, sustain consumer loyalty, manage the
global and the local experience, etc. The end customer is at the focus,
with various technologies, devices and networks facilitating seamless
computing, communication, collaboration as well as commerce related
functionalities to the end users. This is made possible by embedding data,
sensors, controllers, and other devices into the physical and virtual
spaces of human beings thereby facilitating seamless interactions and
co-engagement between the end customer and the organization.
This revolution challenges companies to reimagine ways to reach current
and potential audiences in a coordinated way across a multitude of channels
and devices — both wired and wireless. Intelligent enterprises are
exploiting this topology to drawing inferences and develop key analytics by
aggregating and mining data about customers, competitors, vendors,
markets, and products as well as services. Enterprises are able to garner
global and local intelligence enabling them to develop innovative products
and services better aligned to market needs. We invite research which
addresses or expands on these ideas. Conceptual, empirical and
design-oriented works are welcome and will be considered for this
mini-track.
** Potential topics for manuscripts include but are not limited to:*
- Engaging end customers via a combination of devices and
delivery channels
- Multi-modal user experiences & Immersive Interaction Technologies
- Enhancing customer engagement by combining immersive
interaction technologies and multi-modal user experiences
- Enabling enterprises to make intelligent decisions related
to workforce composition, collaboration, leadership and, employee retention
- Pervasive computing devices requiring the need to reach end
customers across multitude of devices
- Exponential growth of data (both structured as well as unstructured),
created by end customers, sensors etc. requiring the need to analyses
and visualize the data
- Leveraging easy availability of computing power on the go in the
form of cloud computing
- Decision making by understanding and analyzing the
collective intelligence created across various customer touch points as
well as social networks.
- Better understanding of customer behavior using techniques such
as text analytics, natural language processing as well as social
network analysis.
- Improved visibility across the supply chain and real-time
data availability.
- Better monitoring of production processes to optimize operations,
reduce costs, enhance production as well as prevent and/or detect
health and safety issues.
- Adaptive systems which respond to touch-point data

Track: Adoption and Diffusion of Information Technology (SIGADIT)
Mini-track: Adoption and Use of Ambivalent Information Technologies
Description of the Mini-track:
Ambivalent Information Technologies (IT) are perceived as having the
potential to both benefit and harm users and organizations, rendering them
a double-edged sword. Ambivalent IT comprises a wide range of IT, such as
smartphones that can be both beneficial and harmful for the users, work
emails that despite their flexibility and connectivity benefits can
interrupt workflow, wearables and analytic technologies that despite
conveying real-time information can overload users and undermine their
sense of autonomy, and access control tools with benefits that can come at
the cost of security and privacy intrusions. Therefore, ambivalent IT can
elicit mixed attitudes and markedly different behaviors and outcomes for
adopters and users. Currently, there is a paucity of research in the IS
literature to cover this research area. This mini-track hosts research on
antecedents, processes, and issues/challenges regarding adoption and use of
ambivalent IT and the potential impacts for individuals, groups,
organizations, and society.

*TRACK DESCRIPTION*
In the past years, researchers and practitioners have highlighted the
potential of Blockchain (BC) and distributed ledger technology to
revolutionize government processes. Blockchain technology enables
distributed power and embedded security. As such, Blockchain is regarded as
an innovative, general purpose technology, offering new ways of
organization in many domains, including e-government for transactions and
information exchange. However, due to its very characteristics of peer to
peer information exchange, its distributed nature, the still developing
technology, the involvement of new actors, roles, etc., the implementation
of blockchain applications raise issues that need governance attention.
BC initiatives have implications for citizen trust, privacy, inclusion and
participation. Governmental organizations need a thorough understanding of
the BC design principles, the possible applications in the domain of
e-government and the exploration of governance mechanisms to deal with the
limitations and challenges of the BC technology when used in a myriad of
sectors, ranging from the financial and business sector to the social
domains of healthcare and education.
This track seeks research that explores the impact of block chain
technology on all levels of government and effects or applications in
society that raise governance issues. We welcome a diversity in research
designs, approaches and methodologies.
*KEYWORDS*
Blockchain, Distributed Ledger, Distributed Computing, Peer-to-Peer
Information Exchange

conference program. Your paper submission(s) will be one (or both) of
the following:
• a work in progress (WIP; preliminary or initial stage of
research/investigation) paper of 2 – 4 pages
• a full paper of 5 – 8 pages
There is no preliminary abstract phase for WIP or full papers. Please
adhere to these page limits within the conference’s template structure.
Papers that do not follow the template will be returned for reformatting.
Posters by K-12 students may feature student STEaM research or
experiences. Submit an abstract describing the content of your poster
(max 500 words) for review to EDAS. Once their poster abstract is
accepted, students then have the option of submitting an additional
short paper for review by February 18, 2019. *This paper is NOT required*.
Workshop proposals should provide the title, topic, focus, proposed
activities, and a short statement of presenter expertise in an abstract
of no more than 750 words. There are no papers associated with a
workshop. Workshops are typically scheduled for 90 minutes.
All proposals, abstracts, and papers are submitted via EDAS.info. For
full and work-in-progress papers, post the Word document (no LaTEX,
please) along with the author and abstract information. For posters and
