-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] EJIS SI CfP: Managing and Sustaining Digital Transformations Date: Mon, 23 Aug 2021 10:09:50 +0000 From: Carroll, Noel <noel.carroll(a)nuigalway.ie> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> European Journal of Information Systems Special Issue: Managing and Sustaining Digital Transformations CfP Information: https://www.callforpapers.co.uk/managing-sustaining-digital-transformations Guest Editors * Noel Carroll, School of Business and Economics, NUI Galway, Ireland (noel.carroll(a)nuigalway.ie<mailto:noel.carroll@nuigalway.ie>) * Nik Rushdi Hassan, Management Studies, University of Minnesota Duluth, USA (nhassan(a)d.umn.edu<mailto:nhassan@d.umn.edu>) * Iris Junglas, School of Business, College of Charleston, USA (junglasia(a)cofc.edu<mailto:junglasia@cofc.edu>) * Thomas Hess, School of Management, University of Munich (LMU), Germany (thess(a)bwl.lmu.de<mailto:thess@bwl.lmu.de>) * Lorraine Morgan, School of Business and Economics, NUI Galway, Ireland (lorraine.morgan(a)nuigalway.ie<mailto:lorraine.morgan@nuigalway.ie>) Overview of the Special Issue In an era of heightened uncertainty and urgency around disruption, digital transformation has become a global priority on leadership agendas and researchers across the Information Systems (IS) field (Bughin et al. 2019; Chanias et al. 2019; Hess et al. 2016; Matt et al. 2015; Vial, 2019). Digital transformations are typically described as strategic changes through the use of digital technologies to extend an organisation’s business model, which result in changed products and processes, improved customers engagement, and new organisational structures to provide digital-based services (Hess et al. 2016; Matt et al. 2015; Müller et al. 2016; Sebastian et al. 2017). Leaders have growing expectations from the promise of digital transformations to make a strategic contribution to their business’ survival and success (Berman 2012; Vial, 2019), for example, by extending existing business models through the integration of advanced technologies (Wiesböck and Hess, 2020). However, digital transformation is still in its infancy (Vial 2019). Compared to insights on digital technologies, the extant literature provides sparse coverage on theoretical developments or empirical research that can explain the process of digital transformation, such as how transformations become implemented, embedded, integrated, and evaluated in practice. With such a void in our understanding, it may be unsurprising to learn that approximately 70% of all digital transformation initiatives do not reach their goals (Bucy et al. 2016) with billions of dollars going to waste (Tabrizi et al. 2019). Of the successful digital transformations, it is estimated that there is a 45 percent chance of delivering less profit than expected (Bughin et al. 2019). Clearly, the process of digital transformation within an IS context is not well understood (Carroll, 2020; Rowe, 2018; Vial, 2019) although we continue to build weak assumptions on how digital transformations can be managed and sustained. Fundamentally, this raises questions on how digital transformat ions are managed, and what techniques we need to introduce to offer better guidance on sustaining them. Against this background, this Special Issue calls for more research on managing digital transformations and deepening our discourse on how to better sustain digital transformations in practice (Baiyere et al. 2019; Hassan et al. 2019; Wessel et al. 2020). Topics of Interest We welcome IS accounts of digital transformations at the individual, group/team, organisational or societal level across all possible domains. We solicit conceptual papers, case studies (and comparative cases), surveys, experiments, qualitative research, design science research, and collaborative action research among academics and practitioners that illustrate novel approaches to managing digital transformations and overcoming specific challenges with sustaining the transformation process. We especially seek papers that offer new theoretical models along with evidence of consequences related to managing and sustaining digital transformations. Some of the key topics we are interested in include (but are not limited to): * Digital transformation strategies, practices and processes * Digital transformation mindset, culture and roles * Socio-technical factors for managing and sustaining digital transformations * The role of analytics and big data in managing and sustaining digital transformation * Information systems development in digital transformation * Sustaining and evaluating digital transformations * Agility and urgency in digital transformations * Governance for digital transformations * Evolving and competing across platforms for digital transformations * Enablers and barriers of managing and sustaining digital transformations * IS ethical and corporate responsibility considerations for digital transformation * Success or failure of digital transformations * Open innovation for digital transformations * Building digital resilience in the face digital transformation Important dates * Initial paper submission deadline: January 21st 2022 * First round authors notification: April 1st 2022 * Author development workshop (ECIS 2022): TBC – June 16-18th 2022 * Invited revisions deadline: July 29th 2022 * Second round authors notification: September 30th 2022 * Final revision deadline: November 11th 2022 * Final authors notification: December 9th 2022 Associate Editors * Alexander Benlian, Darmstadt University of Technology, Germany * Amany Elbanna, University of London, UK * André Hanelt, University of Kassel, Germany * Arto Lanamäki, University of Vaasa, Finland * Brian Fitzgerald, University of Limerick, Ireland * Christiane Lehrer, Copenhagen Business School, Denmark * Gregory Vial, HEC Montreal, Canada * Jonny Holmström, Umeå University, Sweden * Michael Cahalane, University of New South Wales, Australia * Nancy Pouloudi, Athens University of Economics and Business, Greece * Netta Iivari, University of Oulu, Finland * Rob Gleasure, Copenhagen Business School, Denmark * Steffi Haag, University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, Germany * Sven Rehm, EM Strasbourg Business School * Xiaofeng Wang, Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, Italy * Yogesh K.

With the constant rise of products and services available through the web, the fact that these operate with sensible user information and data, harmful entities and subjects are increasingly active in the virtual world. With improving, defensive methods cybercriminals recur to extremely sophisticated methods to perform their malicious activities. While protecting the privacy of users, many technologies found in current malware and network attacks have been abused in order to allow criminals to carry out their undertakings unobserved. This poses a lot of new challenges for digital forensics analysts, academics, law enforcement agencies (LEAs), and security professionals. The aim of the II CYBERKNIFE - WORKSHOP on INFORMATION SECURITY, DATA LEAKAGE PROTECTION & PREVENION is to bring together researchers, practitioners, tech companies, law enforcement agencies/representatives, and security professionals in the area of information security forensics and data privacy. CyberKnife aims to present a more complete picture of novel research regarding information security, data leakage protection, and prevention challenges and how criminals undertake their actions. Topics and Areas of Interest: -Artificial Intelligence in Cybersecurity -Big data and cybersecurity -Business continuity and disaster recovery -Child safety in the cyberspace -Cloud security -Critical infrastructure security -Cyber forensics -Cyber insurance -Cyberwarfare -Cybersecurity and cyber resilience -Digital currency, blockchains, and cybercrime -Digital privacy -Embedded systems security -Healthcare information security -Information security governance -Internet of things security -Law, investigation, internet jurisdiction, and ethics -Network security -Security management -Software development security -Surveillance, interception, blocking, and sovereignty About Porto: Porto is one of Europe’s oldest tourist destinations. Its wealth of monumental and artistic heritage, Port Wine, open-air leisure spaces, and cultural life are just some of the reasons to visit this city. At any time of the day, 365 days of the year, Porto has a special charm for anyone visiting the city for the first time, as it does for those coming back for a second visit, to discover a city that is simultaneously modern and authentic.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [WI] Call for Papers HMD Smart Offices und Smart Building Date: Thu, 19 Aug 2021 06:32:10 +0000 From: Hofmann, Josephine <Josephine.Hofmann(a)iao.fraunhofer.de> Reply-To: Hofmann, Josephine <Josephine.Hofmann(a)iao.fraunhofer.de> To: wi(a)lists.kit.edu <wi(a)lists.kit.edu> Liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen, gerne weise ich auf unseren aktuelle Call For Papers für das HMD-Heft „Smart Offices und Smart Buildings“ hin. Es erscheint im August 2022. Die inhaltlichen Infos und die zeitlichen Rahmendaten finden sich im angefügten Text. Ich freue mich sehr über Meldungen und stehe sehr gerne für Rückfragen zur Verfügung. Herzliche Gruesse von Josephine Hofmann *-----------------------------------------------* *HMD Heft 346 Smart Offices und Smart Buildings* Verantwortliches Mitglied im HMD-Herausgeberkreis: Dr. Josephine Hofmann, Fraunhofer IAO Stuttgart Josephine.Hofmann(a)iao.fraunhofer.de *Erscheinungsdatum August 2022 Redaktionsschluss 31.05.2022 * Betreuende Herausgeberin: Dr. Josephine Hofmann, Fraunhofer IAO Die Corona-Krise hat auch in der Betrachtung und Bewertung von Büroräumlichkeiten ihre Spuren hinterlassen. Mit Blick auf erwartbare Anteile mobiler Arbeit auch im zukünftigen Neuen Normal, das zu hybriden Arbeitskonzepten führen wird, gerät die Frage, welche Büroflächen mit welchem Zuschnitt, mit welchen Nutzungskonzepten und IT-Ausstattungen gebraucht werden, zu einer wichtigen Fragestellung. Shared-Desk-Konzepte werden wahrscheinlicher, genauso wie die vermehrte Nutzung aktivitätenbasierter Zonengestaltung in Büroflächen, da Projektarbeit, kreative gemeinsame Arbeit und Kommunikation und Begegnung zu wichtigen Anlässen der Arbeit im Büro werden. Zusätzlich gerät auch im Zeichen der Klimakrise die Frage einer ressourceneffizienten Nutzung des Bürobestandes vermehrt in den Blick. Für eine gute Umsetzung dieser Gestaltungsziele stellt IT eine wichtige Ressource dar: Sei es im Bereich der Buchung und Verwaltung von Büroplätzen auch mit Hilfe digitaler Assistenzsysteme, des energieeffizienten Betreibens von Gebäuden im Sinne von SmartOffice-Konzepten, der Ausstattung hybrid nutzbarer Besprechungs- und Begegnungsräumlichkeiten, oder der konkreten Ausgestaltung digitaler Workplace-Umgebungen, die hybrides, flexibles und gleichzeitig performantes Arbeiten unterstützen sollen. Hier kommen auch erneut BYOD-Konzepte in die Diskussionen (Bring Your Own Device). Insgesamt stellt das energieeffiziente und gleichzeitig funktionalitätsorientierte Managen von Gebäudlichkeiten eine wichtige Zukunftsaufgabe von Facility- und Office Managern dar. Das im August 2022 erscheinende Heft hat zum Ziel, die Einsatzmöglichkeiten und Wirkansätze von IT zur Realisierung dieser Smart Offices bzw. Smart Building-Konzepten aufzuzeigen und auch herauszuarbeiten, wo wichtige Entwicklungslinien sind, und welchen Reifegrad deren Umsetzungskonzepte haben. Auch Studien zur Akzeptanz und Einführung entsprechender Lösungskonzepte sind hochwillkommen. Neben Beiträgen, die sich mit konkreten Umsetzungskonzepten, der Nutzung der IT und deren Wirksamkeit beschäftigen, freuen wir uns auch auf Beiträge, die hochrelevante Zukunftsfragen adressieren. So stellen Cognitive Workplaces im Sinne adaptiver, mit Smart-Metering- und KI-basierten Elementen ausgestatten Arbeitsumgebungen eine wesentliche Zukunftsoption dar; eine wesentliche Fragestellung könnte auch die explizite Gestaltung von Arbeitsumgebungen sein, die die erwartbaren hybriden Arbeitssituationen im Sinne der Kombination virtueller und präsenzorientierter Arbeit umsetzt. Auch Co-Working-Spaces im Neuen Normal stellen in ihrer IT-seitigen Ausstattung ein interessantes Thema dar. Nicht zuletzt adressieren wir auch arbeitswissenschaftlich relevante Fragestellungen rund um die adäquate Gestaltung von Faktoren wie Licht, Temperatur, Klima auf Arbeitsqualität und Arbeitszufriedenheit, die in der Regel mit IT-basierter Sensorik, Steuerung und Umsetzung realisiert wird. Wir freuen uns besonders über Erfahrungsberichte aus Unternehmen und Organisationen, sowie Ergebnisse, die auf längerfristigen Studien beruhen.
