Fwd: [AISWorld] AMCIS 2019 CfP : *Mini-Track Title: Innovation and Project Management*
by Gustaf Neumann 31 Jan '19

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] AMCIS 2019 CfP : *Mini-Track Title: Innovation and Project Management* Date: Wed, 30 Jan 2019 23:53:49 -0500 From: Sumantra Sarkar <ssarkar(a)binghamton.edu> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org CC: Radu Vlas <rvlas(a)isenberg.umass.edu> **Mini-Track Title: Innovation and Project Management** Track: IT Project Management (SIG ITProjMgmt) *Description:* Early researchers such as Peter Drucker defined innovation as firm’s ultimate *raison d’être*. Innovation creation is considered to be more the result of a recombination process than of a natural creative process (Fleming and Sorenson 2004). Research in this tradition argues that innovative capabilities are born out of a novel way of combining knowledge (Nelson and Winter 1982) or out of the ability to reconfigure already existing combinations (Henderson and Clark 1990). Overall, the innovation process is difficult, capital intensive, and time consuming. Research acknowledges the criticality of good project management skills in support of technological innovation (Lyytinen and Rose 2003). Artifact innovations (such as Apple iPad, 3D printing, iFit, virtual reality gear) represent the end result of successful projects. It has also been shown that well managed projects foster business innovation (Shenhar and Dvir 2007). In the context of high-tech industries, alliances have been a predominant force driving innovativeness. Partnerships have also been shown to enhance innovative capabilities of organizations through means of resources transfer. With regards to the types of innovation, vast majority of organizations are more likely to sustain incremental (capability-enhancing) rather than radical (capability-destroying) innovations (Anderson and Tushman 1990). *Call for Papers:* This mini-track seeks high quality research articles (theoretical or empirical) aligning with the objectives of this mini-track that are insightful, coherent and methodically sound. This mini-track is open to various types of research including those that use quantitative, qualitative, and design science approaches. Topics in this mini-track focus on the exploration of *all aspects of managing innovation and projects*, including but not limited to: · innovation in healthcare · security projects and innovation · innovation and process improvement projects · knowledge transfer innovation projects · technology development innovation · incremental and radical innovation · innovation through alliance formation · managing and meeting innovation expectations · dissemination of innovative project outcomes *Important Dates:* * January 7, 2019 - Manuscript Submissions Begin * March 1, 2019 - Manuscript Submissions Due * April 22, 2019 - Notification of Initial Decision *Submissions may be of two types:* · Completed Research papers (limit of 10 pages including everything - tables, figures, references, appendices) · Emergent Research Forum papers (research-in-progress) (limit of 5 pages including everything - tables, figures, references, appendices) * All conference submissions will be double-blind, peer reviewed, and must be submitted using the online submission system.

It is a major international forum for academia, industry, and government to discuss research results and advancements, emerging challenges, and future trends in computer and software technologies and applications. The theme of COMPSAC 2019 is Data-Driven Intelligence for a Smarter World. In the era of “big data” there is an unprecedented increase in the amount of data collected in data warehouses. Extracting meaning and knowledge from these data is crucial for governments and businesses to support their strategic and tactical decision making. Furthermore, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) makes it possible for machines, processing large amounts of such data, to learn and execute tasks never before accomplished. Advances in big data-related technologies are increasing rapidly. For example, virtual assistants, smart cars, and smart home devices in the emerging Internet of Things world, can, we think, make our lives easier. But despite perceived benefits of these technologies/methodologies, there are many challenges ahead. What will be the social, cultural, and economic challenges arising from these developments? What are the technical issue related, for example, to the privacy and security of data used by AI/ML systems? How might humans interact with, rely on, or even trust AI predictions or decisions emanating from these technologies? How can we prevent such data-driven intelligence from being used to make malicious decisions? COMPSAC 2019, organized as a tightly integrated union of symposia, will focus on technical aspects related these kinds of issues as part of the ”Intelligence” theme of the conference. The technical program will include keynote addresses, research papers, industrial case studies, fast abstracts, a doctoral symposium, poster sessions, and workshops and tutorials on emerging and important topics related to the conference theme. Highlights of the conference will include plenary and specialized panels that will address the technical challenges facing technologists who are developing and deploying these data-driven intelligent systems and applications. Panels will also address cultural and societal challenges for a society whose members must continue to learn to live, work, and play in the environments the technologies produce. Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research work, as well as industrial practice reports. Simultaneous submission to other publication venues is not permitted except as highlighted at the COMPSAC 2019 J1C2 & C1J2 page.

In comparison, firm value is defined as value created for the firms, such as better financial performance, improved product quality, or customer satisfaction. Although IT productivity and firm value are closely related, IT productivity does not automatically translate into firm value since their drivers are different and they require different theoretical perspectives. This proposed mini-track invites research on IT productivity and its contribution to firm value at both micro and macro levels. We welcome various research methodologies, including empirical, modelling, case study, conceptual, or simulation. Issues of interest include but are not limited to: - Critical input factors for productivity such as IT investment, human labor, and organizational practice - Configuration, substitutability, and complementarity of IT input with other input factors in affecting productivity - Comparative IT productivity analysis at different levels such as individual, firm, industry, and country - Longitudinal analysis of IT productivity - Direct and indirect IT productivity - Impact of different types of IT input on productivity, such as hardware, software, and communication technologies - Strategies to improve IT productivity - Innovative methods/metrics in estimating IT productivity - Mechanisms through which IT productivity contributes to firm value - Various moderating and mediating factors on the relationship between IT productivity and firm value - Other fundamental issues related to IT productivity and how it affects firm value Mini-track co-chairs: Gang Peng, California State University Fullerton, gpeng(a)fullerton.edu David Zhang, Lehigh University, daz215(a)lehigh.edu Submission timeline: January 7, 2019 Manuscript submissions for AMCIS 2019 begin March 1, 2019 AMCIS manuscript submissions closes for authors at 10:00am PST April 15, 2019 Track Chairs recommendations are due Submission link: https://amcis2019.aisconferences.org/submissions/types-of-submissions/ <https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Famcis2019.…> ...

This offers new potentials for societies (e.g. transparency, consensus building) but also challenges such as misinformation, fake news or manipulation. Hence, there is an urgent need for comprehensive concepts as well as methods which exist independent of particular current platforms and applications. Therefore, in this mini track we are looking for research that investigates the impact of social media on welfare of societies. Moreover, current developments in data science, user behavior, privacy, and trust in the context of society could be considered in articles submitted to the mini track. In this minitrack we are looking for empirical studies (quantitative and qualitative) as well as conceptual papers and design orientated articles. Topics include, but are not limited to: - fandom in social media - social movements in social media - crisis situations (and communication) in social media - political communication in social media - impact of social media on the welfare of societies - negative effects: fake news, mis- and disinformation, rumours - automated accounts/social bots - social capital and social support - impact of social media on equality and inequality (e.g. of minorities, genders) within societies *Important Dates* - January 7, 2019: Manuscript submissions open - March 1, 2019: 10 am PST Deadline for paper submissions - April 15, 2019: Authors will be notified of decisions - April 24, 2019: Camera-ready submissions due Dr. Milad Mirbabaie Postdoctoral Researcher and Teamleader at University of Duisburg-Essen Manager of Competence Center Connected Organization Professional Communication in Electronic Media / Social Media Department of Computer Science and Applied Cognitive Science T: +49 203 379 2671 M: +49 160 1037404 A: Forsthausweg 2 (LE 309a), 47057 Duisburg, Germany Web: https://www.uni-due.de/proco <https://www.uni-due.de/proco>, http://connected-organization.de <http://connected-organization.de/> Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Professionelle.Kommunikation <https://www.facebook.com/Professionelle.Kommunikation> | YouTube: www.youtube.com/ProfStieglitz <http://www.youtube.com/ProfStieglitz> _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org

Fwd: [AISWorld] CFP for Journal of Business Research - Using Big Data and Artificial Intelligence in Business to Impact Global Challenges
by Gustaf Neumann 30 Jan '19

30 Jan '19

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP for Journal of Business Research - Using Big Data and Artificial Intelligence in Business to Impact Global Challenges Date: Wed, 30 Jan 2019 12:41:52 +0000 From: Muhammad Kamal <Muhammad.Kamal(a)brunel.ac.uk> To: 'aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org' <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Dear Colleagues We would like to invite you to submit your work for possible publication in the special issue for Journal of Business Research (3* ABS) - Using Big Data and Artificial Intelligence in Business to Impact Global Challenges Deadline: 30th April 2019 Guest Editors: Zahir Irani - Professor and Dean of Faculty, University of Bradford, UK. Peter E.D Love - John Curtin Distinguished Professor, Curtin University, Australia. Muhammad M. Kamal - Senior Lecturer, Brunel University London, UK. Introduction: Decision-making that leads to the allocation of competitively sought resources for exploration, discovery, building or testing of ideas is informed by data that when structured creates information. However, the harvesting of more data from multiple sources, coined as big data or huge data has led to challenges of how best to interrogate and meaningfully manage often benign data to support improved decision-making for greater impact. The databases continuously storing the large amounts of data will eventually become larger and larger over time and applying big data analysis (BDA) approaches will be inevitable (Sivarajah et al., 2017). BDA is the collection of data and technology that accesses, integrates, and reports all available data by filtering, correlating, and reporting insights not attainable with past data technologies (APICS 2012) is seen as supporting more robust decision-making. A normative definition by International Data Corporation (IDC) - 2011, Big Data technologies1 describe a new generation of technologies and architectures, designed to economically extract value from very large volumes of a wide variety of data, by enabling high velocity capture, discovery, and/or analysis. Not surprisingly, academic and practitioner-based research continues to explore the potential of Big Data. Added to this potential, advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) coming from the computer science community and a burgeoning demand for skilled professionals with creative minds, is seeing Big Data being combined with Artificial Intelligence and reaching new heights of discovery. Such a powerful combination is leading to new insights in trending and prediction modelling using sophisticated machine learning whether in finance (for market predictions), HR (for workforce planning), Manufacturing (for predictive capacity planning), Health (disease profiling) or Marketing (for consumer behaviour modelling and consumption trending). In the context of Technology and Organisational Resource Management, Big Data and Business Analytics has the potential to facilitate more sophisticated data-driven decision-making for real-time business processes and new ways to organise and manage data (including examining and processing data so that hidden underlying patterns area revealed). We see this topic as being topical to both public and private sector organisations and being explored quantitatively and through mixed methods. The recent successes in the area of Artificial Intelligence (with most successful method - machine learning) are based on the rapid processing of large amounts of data through BDA (Leonard, 2017; Hernándeza et al., 2018). Nevertheless, Big Data and Artificial Intelligence is still emerging with a potential impact considered limitless (only by imagination). However, such impact is not limited to commercial endeavours alone. The United Nations led the world in identifying global challenges, which progressed from the millennium development goals. These new global challenges provide an opportunity for mankind (including womankind) to unit around a common sense of challenge, which will improve the world we all live-in and, share. This Special Issue seeks to bring together normative applied research that has a real impact on any of the UN Sustainable Development Goals; where this impact is made possible using Big Data and Artificial Intelligence. Clear alignment or association to with the UN Sustainable Development Goals will need to be carefully articulated in the submission along with the impact or implications presented in the conclusions. Special Issue Objective: The proposed special issue seeks to present novel solutions to improving the quality of life, for all. This special issue will share related practical experience or insights to benefit society and will provide clear evidence that Big Data and AI are playing an ever-increasing role in improving the world we live in. The Guest Editors seek scholarly research from the academic and practitioner communities to look at how value can be created or co-created with society for the benefit of society. The results will in turn reveal the implications of Big Data and Artificial Intelligence on progressing the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Proposed Topics: The topics to be discussed in this special issue include but are not limited to the following: · Problem solving UN Sustainable Development Goals through BDA and/or AI techniques. · Big Data analytics-enabled in innovation and creativity in Business. · Big Data and AI to identify and manage complex business decision-making. · Using Big Data in education and across Government. · Evaluating facilitators and inhibitors of Big Data Analytics/Artificial Intelligence adoption. · In-depth and longitudinal case studies on Big Data initiatives for enhancing Health and Wellbeing when set within UN Sustainable Development Goals. · Application of Big Data Analytics for global business, trade and development. · Privacy and trust issues in Big Data Analytics. · Influencing community practice through Social Media, Cloud Computing and Big Data Analytics. · The dark sides of Big Data and Artificial Intelligence. · Approaches to leverage Big Data and AI to support decision-making. · The unintended or unanticipated consequences of using Big Data and Artificial Intelligence on impacting global challenges. Submitting authors are advised to note that this is not a call for Operational Research papers that will be desk rejected. Manuscripts should apply the general author guidelines of the Journal of Business Research (JBR) (https://www.elsevier.com/journals/journal-of-business-research/0148-2963/gu…).

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP: AMCIS 2019 Track in Meta-Research in Information Systems Date: Wed, 30 Jan 2019 09:25:19 -0500 From: Michael Cuellar <mcuellar(a)georgiasouthern.edu> To: AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org CALL FOR PAPERS: AMCIS 2019 August 15-17 Cancun Mexico – Track in META-RESEARCH IN INFORMATION SYSTEMS https://amcis2019.aisconferences.org/submissions/track-descriptions/#toggle… <https://amcis2019.aisconferences.org/submissions/track-descriptions/#toggle…> *********************** IMPORTANT DATES - January 7: Submission system Opens - March 1 | 10:00 am PST: Paper submission deadline - April 15 | Authors notified of decisions - April 24 | 11:59 pm PST: Camera Ready papers are due *********************** TRACK DESCRIPTION Following on the success of this track in 2018, this track serves as the primary point of contribution and subsequent publication of innovative meta-research articles. Meta-research (research on research) is a venerable and valuable research stream within Information Systems. Meta-research is the discussion that goes on between IS scholars on issues surrounding the production of IS research. It includes such areas as discussions of the structure and development of the field, the core and boundaries of the field, field legitimacy, scholar/department/journal/ country ranking methods, discussions of research culture and practices, methods of evaluation of scholarship, literature reviews and research commentaries. The purpose of the track includes showcasing unique and leading edge empirical, theoretical, and commentary papers in the area of meta-research. Typically, there has not been a good location for these types of papers within the structure of the usual tracks provided. This track provides a welcoming space for such papers. There are three mini-tracks within this track: Minitrack 1: General Topics in IS Meta-Research Minitrack Chair: Michael Cuellar, mcuellar(a)georgiasouthern.edu IS Research is a diverse field, whether it be qualitative or quantitative, drawing from many theories, methodologies, and uses in society. Meta-research aims to improve and evaluate research. In this track, we will accept papers that conduct research on understanding or evaluating other IS research. This mini-track will serve as a place where authors can submit their work that may not precisely fit into other meta-research mini-tracks. Topics covered in this mini-track might include: - Core and Boundaries of the Information Systems Field - Field legitimacy and place within academia - Methods of evaluating scholarship, tenure and promotion practices e.g Cuellar (2016), Dennis (2006) - Scholar/department/journal/ country ranking methods, e.g. Lowry et al (2007; 2004) - Research Culture and Practices e.g. Lyttinen (2007) - Research commentaries- discussions of the state of the art and where we need to go in research e.g. Orlikowki and Iacono (2001). Minitrack 2: Literature Reviews in IS Minitrack Chair: Hirotoshi Takeda, hirotoshi.takeda(a)maine.edu <mailto:hirotoshi.takeda@maine.edu> As the Information Systems (IS) discipline makes intellectual contributions to the academic research field, we need to organize and reflect on this research in an organized fashion. Understanding specific contributions to particular areas of the IS field is an important meta-research exercise. With all the knowledge that is being created in the IS field, there is a need to synthesize and organize the existing research in IS. Literature reviews play the important role of getting a snap-shot look at what we know, how we know it, and who made the contributions. Literature also play the important role of providing a basis from where we can start and identify areas of research that are in need of our researchers’ attention. The importance of this activity is seen in the publication of literature review papers in journals. However, traditionally there has been a lack of venue for these papers. This minitrack was proposed to address this need. This minitrack will be the basis for IS researcher to conduct literature review papers and use at the AMCIS conference as a base for feedback and development of the literature review. Minitrack 3: Adoption of novel theories into IS Minitrack Co-Chairs: Michael Cuellar, mcuellar(a)georgiasouthern.edu Duane Truex, dtruex(a)gsu.edu As the Information Systems (IS) discipline as an applied discipline drawing from fields as diverse as engineering, computer science, psychology, sociology and management has historically brought new and novel theories and metatheories into the field from those various disciplines. Understanding how those theories and metatheories have been utilized in which particular areas of the IS field is an important meta-research exercise. With these novel theories being introduced into Information Systems, it is important to recognize that we need to properly appropriate them into the field. We must first use them appropriately as developed by the source field and then expand and enhance those theories and meta-theories to account for information systems phenomena (Holmström and Truex 2011). This mini-track seeks to provide a venue to discuss how novel theories should be introduced and appropriated into the information systems field. Minitrack 4: Social Capital in the IS Community Minitrack Co-Chairs: Michael Chau, mchau(a)business.hku.hk Jennifer Xu, JXU(a)bentley.edu Information Systems (IS) has made significant progress in accumulating social capital, in addition to intellectual capital, as an academic discipline. Such social capital can be evidenced through various forms of connections and collaboration among scholars such as working in the same institution, co-authorship, advisor-student relationship, conference co-organization, committee co-membership, and editorial board co-membership. These social interactions weave scholars into a complex social network in which knowledge is generated, exchanged, and updated. It is important to understand how the social ties are formed and maintained, how social capital influences the creation of knowledge in the field, and the development of the IS discipline in general. This mini-track aims to solicit papers that are related to such topics as social network analysis and visualization of the IS scholar collaboration network, the interplay between social capital and intellectual capital in IS, and the social identify of the IS discipline. This mini-track aims to solicit papers that are related to some of the following important topics: - Social network analysis on the IS scholar collaboration network; - Measuring social capital in the IS scholar collaboration network; - IS scholar social network visualization; - The relationship between co-authorship and other social ties; - The past, present and future of social capital development in IS; - Identifying sub-communities in the IS discipline; - The social identify of the IS discipline; - The social capital of IS scholars outside the IS community.
