-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] NSF Funding Opportunity - Cyberlearning for Work at the Human-Technology Frontier program Date: Sat, 28 Sep 2019 19:47:37 +0000 From: He, Wu <WHe(a)odu.edu> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> New and emerging technologies have the potential to expand and transform learning and educational opportunities and outcomes for learners and workers of all ages, making it possible to adapt to their interests, needs, prior knowledge and available resources. The U.S. National Science Foundation's Cyberlearning for Work at the Human-Technology Frontier program responds to the pressing societal need to educate and re-educate learners of all ages to ultimately function in highly technological environments, including in collaboration with intelligent systems. New skills are necessary for successful collaborative work in new industrial and commercial environments, including working with technologies that augment human capabilities. The goal of Cyberlearning for Work at the Human-Technology Frontier program is to support transformative advances of technologies for learning to educate a new generation of students, teachers, and workers to excel or re-engage in highly technological and collaborative environments that require foundational STEM content knowledge. An important direction of this program is to foster lifelong learning with and through technology, particularly in preparation for and within the context of the work setting. This program invites transformative proposals that integrate advances in what is known about how people learn (individually and in groups) with the opportunities offered by new and emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and virtual or augmented environments to prepare future learners and workers across the lifespan, in formal and informal settings. Cyberlearning proposals will be accepted through January 13, 2020. The solicitation is available at https://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=504984 --- Wu He, PhD Program Director, National Science Foundation Associate Professor of Information Technology, Old Dominion University Editor, Information Discovery and Delivery 2415 Eisenhower Avenue, E11319 Alexandria, VA 22314 Email: wuhe(a)nsf.gov Telephone: 703-292-7593 Fax: 703-292-9044 _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org

Für weitere Details beachten Sie bitte den beigefügten Call for Papers. Wir freuen uns auf Ihre Einreichungen. Beste Grüße, Benedikt Berger, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München Virpi Kristiina Tuunainen, Aalto University Saonee Sarker, University of Virginia Track Chairs ---------- Call for Papers 28^th European Conference on Information Systems (ECIS2020) June 15^th - 17^th 2020 / Marrakech, Morocco Track: Business Models and Digital Transformation (https://ecis2020.ma/ecis-2020-tracks/) **Track Description:** The continuous development of information and communication technologies (ICT) enables new forms of value creation in a growing number of industries. To remain competitive, companies must recognize the effects of new ICT on their business models as early as possible and transform them accordingly or develop new businesses in parallel. Such a digital transformation often affects large parts of an organization, from the products or services provided, to the processes and structures, as well as to strategy and culture. This already leads to far-reaching changes in economy and society. Therefore, it is important to understand these ICT-enabled changes in the creation and realization of value, exchanges and combinations of resources, delivery of new digital services and products, process innovation, and thus new digital business models. In line with the conference theme "Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity in a Digitizing World", companies also have to monitor their impact on society and the ethical emplications of their business model design and transformation choices while ensuring sustainable business success. As an established part of ECIS since 2014, this track, on the one hand, will examine the impact of technological developments on the design of existing and new business models. All parts of a business model – the product or service, the customer relationships, the resources and organizational structure, as well as the cost and revenue model – are of equal interest. On the other hand, the track is dedicated to the question on how companies can successfully manage the digital transformation. This includes strategic (e.g. the development of a transformation strategy) and organizational issues (e.g. the nomination and role of a Chief Digital Officer) as well as new management concepts (e.g. the use of agile methods) and cultural changes (e.g. flexible work environments). Furthermore, instruments and methods for modelling, depicting and transforming business models are relevant for the track. Submissions are encouraged from all theoretical and methodological perspectives drawing from IS, organizational behavior, strategic management, entrepreneurship, and related disciplines. Authors must clearly outline why their study is new and interesting for IS research and practice and how it relates to the track theme. The following list of possible topics is neither exclusive nor exhaustive: • ICT as “enabler” of new business models • Digital transformation of existing business models through ICT • Management of digital transformation processes • Substitution and complementarity of new and existing business models within an organization • Effects of ICT on the organisational structure • Development and implementation of digital transformation strategies • Redesign of interorganizational cooperation using ICT • Changes in cost structures through ICT • New forms of revenue generation using ICT • The impact of ICT on the relationship between firms and customers • Development of digital competence within companies • ICT-based and/or ICT-centric management and leadership concepts • Redefining the relationship between employee and employer through the use of ICT • Corporate and entrepreneurial culture in the digital age • Change management in the digital transformation process **Important Dates:** November 29^th , 2019: Submission deadline End of February 2020: Notification of acceptance June 15^th -17^th , 2020: ECIS2020 conference *Dr. Benedikt Berger* Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (LMU) Munich School of Management Institute for Information Systems and New Media Room 213 | Ludwigstrasse 28 | 80539 Munich | Germany Phone +49 (0)89 2180-6392 | Fax +49 (0)89 2180-996392 _benedikt.berger(a)bwl.lmu.de <mailto:benedikt.berger@bwl.lmu.de>_ | www.wim.bwl.lmu.de <http://www.wim.bwl.lmu.de/>

For further details please refer to the call for papers attached. We are looking forward to your submissions. Best regards, Benedikt Berger, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München Virpi Kristiina Tuunainen, Aalto University Saonee Sarker, University of Virginia Track Chairs ---------- Call for Papers 28th European Conference on Information Systems (ECIS2020) June 15th - 17th 2020 / Marrakech, Morocco Track: Business Models and Digital Transformation (https://ecis2020.ma/ecis-2020-tracks/) *Track Description:* The continuous development of information and communication technologies (ICT) enables new forms of value creation in a growing number of industries. To remain competitive, companies must recognize the effects of new ICT on their business models as early as possible and transform them accordingly or develop new businesses in parallel. Such a digital transformation often affects large parts of an organization, from the products or services provided, to the processes and structures, as well as to strategy and culture. This already leads to far-reaching changes in economy and society. Therefore, it is important to understand these ICT-enabled changes in the creation and realization of value, exchanges and combinations of resources, delivery of new digital services and products, process innovation, and thus new digital business models. In line with the conference theme "Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity in a Digitizing World", companies also have to monitor their impact on society and the ethical emplications of their business model design and transformation choices while ensuring sustainable business success. As an established part of ECIS since 2014, this track, on the one hand, will examine the impact of technological developments on the design of existing and new business models. All parts of a business model - the product or service, the customer relationships, the resources and organizational structure, as well as the cost and revenue model - are of equal interest. On the other hand, the track is dedicated to the question on how companies can successfully manage the digital transformation. This includes strategic (e.g. the development of a transformation strategy) and organizational issues (e.g. the nomination and role of a Chief Digital Officer) as well as new management concepts (e.g. the use of agile methods) and cultural changes (e.g. flexible work environments). Furthermore, instruments and methods for modelling, depicting and transforming business models are relevant for the track. Submissions are encouraged from all theoretical and methodological perspectives drawing from IS, organizational behavior, strategic management, entrepreneurship, and related disciplines. Authors must clearly outline why their study is new and interesting for IS research and practice and how it relates to the track theme. The following list of possible topics is neither exclusive nor exhaustive: * ICT as "enabler" of new business models * Digital transformation of existing business models through ICT * Management of digital transformation processes * Substitution and complementarity of new and existing business models within an organization * Effects of ICT on the organisational structure * Development and implementation of digital transformation strategies * Redesign of interorganizational cooperation using ICT * Changes in cost structures through ICT * New forms of revenue generation using ICT * The impact of ICT on the relationship between firms and customers * Development of digital competence within companies * ICT-based and/or ICT-centric management and leadership concepts * Redefining the relationship between employee and employer through the use of ICT * Corporate and entrepreneurial culture in the digital age * Change management in the digital transformation process *Important Dates:* November 29th, 2019: Submission deadline End of February 2020: Notification of acceptance June 15th-17th, 2020: ECIS2020 conference Dr. Benedikt Berger Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (LMU) Munich School of Management Institute for Information Systems and New Media Room 213 | Ludwigstrasse 28 | 80539 Munich | Germany Phone +49 (0)89 2180-6392 | Fax +49 (0)89 2180-996392 benedikt.berger(a)bwl.lmu.de<mailto:benedikt.berger@bwl.lmu.de> | www.wim.bwl.lmu.de<http://www.wim.bwl.lmu.de/> _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org
