-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] 2nd CfP: WI2021 - Track "IT Strategy, Management & Transformation" Date: Fri, 14 Aug 2020 09:39:01 +0000 From: Urbach, Nils <Nils.Urbach(a)uni-bayreuth.de> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> CC: 'Paul Drews' <paul.drews(a)leuphana.de> (Apologies for cross-postings of this announcement.) 2nd Call for Papers for the WI2021 track " IT Strategy, Management & Transformation" 16th International Conference on Wirtschaftsinformatik (WI2021), March 9-11, 2021, University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany https://wi2021.de/en/ Track Chairs Prof. Dr. Nils Urbach, University of Bayreuth & Fraunhofer FIT Prof. Dr. Paul Drews, Leuphana University of Lüneburg Description In the digital age, new developments in digital technologies lead to significant changes in the economy and society. A key feature of a digitized corporate world is that digital technologies are not only used to support business processes, but are increasingly becoming an inherent part of products, services and business models. While information technology has been an important production factor for most companies for a long time, digital innovations are now leading to a radical transformation of some industries. On the one hand, digital business model innovations offer companies the opportunity to conquer established and new markets with fresh ideas. On the other hand, many companies are increasingly exposed to the risk of falling victim to the disruptive effects of digitalization. Accordingly, many companies are currently undergoing a digital transformation. In this context, the development and implementation of IT strategies and the management of the IT function are becoming more and more critical tasks for the company as a whole. Corporate IT has so far concentrated on translating the requirements of the business departments into high-quality IT services as effectively as possible and on managing operations. Today, the corporate IT function needs to engage in shaping the entire company. As part of this transformation, the IT function has to deal with the requirements of customers and partners of the company, evaluate and introduce IT innovations and adapt the IT landscape to the changing needs. The development and implementation of innovative services increasingly require the integration of business and IT. In addition to participating in innovation processes, traditional IT management tasks are also changing: Developments such as cloud computing simplify the outsourcing of elements of the IT value chain. The management of IT infrastructures and IT operations can be left to specialized providers who have the necessary skills and are able to realize economies of scale. These developments cause a gradual change in the roles and skills of today's IT functions, which is also reflected in changed structures, processes, methods and governance mechanisms. Accordingly, many new and interesting questions arise on the social, organizational, technical and economic aspects of strategic IT management and organizational change. Previous knowledge as well as established models and theories of information systems should be questioned and advanced against the background of these developments. Topics of Interest o IT strategy and strategies for digital transformation o Development and implementation of IT and digital strategies for corporations as well as for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) o Organizational development for digital transformation o Business IT alignment and integration of business and IT (business managed IT) o Strategic use and business value of IT o Alignment of IT with the benefit for the company's customers and other stakeholders o IT innovation management and strategic effects of new technologies o Ecosystem management: supplier management, IT outsourcing, cloud computing and make-or-buy decisions o IT governance, risk, compliance o (Agile) project, project portfolio and change management o IT service and application management o Strategic management and change in enterprise architecture o Management of software development and deployment as well as new approaches for structuring the IT landscape (including through microservices) o IT management models, methods and tools o Changing role of the CIO and new roles (e.g. Chief Digital Officer, Chief Innovation Officer) o Change of skills and competencies in IT o Organizational structures of the IT function in change o Establishment, expansion and evaluation of digital units and digital labs o New organizational concepts such as bimodal IT, (Biz) DevOps or Scaling Agile o Strategic anchoring and management of the use of big data, blockchain, data science and artificial intelligence o Management of modern workplace technologies o Resilience of IT and business continuity management Associate Editors Prof. Dr. Stephan Aier, University of St. Gallen Prof. Dr. Rainer Alt, University of Leipzig Prof. Dr. Daniel Beimborn, University of Bamberg Prof. Dr. Tilo Böhmann, University of Hamburg Prof. Dr. Arne Buchwald, Vlerick Business School Dr. Andreas Drechsler, Victoria University of Wellington Dr. Katharina Ebner, University of Hagen Prof. Dr. Daniel Fürstenau, Freie Universität Berlin Prof. Dr. Kazem Haki, University of St. Gallen Dr. Robert Keller, University of Augsburg Prof. Dr. Oliver Krancher, IT University of Copenhagen Prof. Dr. Thomas Kude, ESSEC Business School Prof. Dr. Helmut Krcmar, TU München Prof. Dr. Christian Meske, Freie Universität Berlin Prof. Dr. Ulrich Remus, University of Innsbruck Prof. Dr. Hannes Rothe, Freie Universität Berlin Prof. Dr. Stefan Sackmann, University of Halle-Wittenberg Prof. Dr. Susanne Strahringer, TU Dresden Prof. Dr. Markus Westner, OTH Regensburg Prof. Dr. Martin Wiener, TU Dresden Prof. Dr. Rüdiger Zarnekow, TU Berlin Prof. Dr. Nico Wunderlich, IT University of Copenhagen Important Dates Submission System Open: 25.06.2020 Deadline for Submissions: 28.08.2020 (Extended Deadline) Deadline for Reviews: 19.10.2020 Notification of Acceptance: 30.10.2020 Final Paper Submission: 30.11.2020 Further information on the conference can be found at https://wi2021.de/en/. ____________________________________________________ Prof. Dr. Nils Urbach Professor of Information Systems and Strategic IT Management Faculty of Law, Business Management and Economics University of Bayreuth Wittelsbacherring 10 | 95444 Bayreuth, GERMANY Phone +49 921 55-4712 | Fax +49 921 55-84-4712 nils.urbach(a)uni-bayreuth.de<mailto:nils.urbach@uni-bayreuth.de> | www.sim.uni-bayreuth.de<http://www.sim.uni-bayreuth.de> ____________________________________________________ _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] "Creating value through digital innovation in health care" - Call for Papers Date: Fri, 14 Aug 2020 11:16:28 +0200 From: Lauri Wessel | University of Bremen <lauri.wessel(a)uni-bremen.de> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> +++ Apologies for cross-postings +++ 16th International Conference on Wirtschaftsinformatik March 9 - 11 2021 , University of Duisburg-Essen (Germany) Track: Creating value through digital innovation in health care New Deadline for Submissions: 28/08/2020 Track Chairs: Lauri Wessel, University of Bremen Hannes Rothe, Freie Universität Berlin Eivor Oborn, Warwick Business School Health care is undergoing significant changes in how value is being created and captured (Porter 2010; Porter and Olmsberg Teisberg 2006). At the core of this development lie various digital innovations as they occasion shifts in how the health care sector has been traditionally organized. From genomics over medical imagery to wearable devices – more and more data is available to feed innovation in health care services (Jarvenpaa and Markus 2018; Rothe et al. 2019; Vassilakopoulou et al. 2018). Greater processing power and new algorithms drive novel diagnostics, more precise therapeutics and they also enable patients and consumers to track and maintain their own wellbeing. This challenges existing practices, sinters boundaries between roles, and even relocates work from inside traditional healthcare providers into the private lives of patients and their relatives (Barrett et al. 2012, 2016; Dadgar and Joshi 2018; Wessel et al. 2019). A central theme that cuts across these developments is that the interest of policy makers and researchers increasingly turns to questions of value; that is how digital innovation changes how value is being created, maintained, or even destroyed in the abovementioned areas. This implies a wealth of new questions for IS research that is turning to these novel developments only recently. This track is broadly framed around the idea of generating value from digital innovation in the context of health. This broadness implies that we welcome all submissions with the potential to contribute to our understanding of the relationship between digital innovation and value creation in health care. We welcome design-oriented work, theory-oriented research, and conceptual papers. We are agnostic in terms of methodologies applied. Submissions may explore these topics but we are by no means limited to them: The role and management of biodata for digital innovation in health The role of traditional professionals roles, identities, and institutions for value creation in health Design of digital innovations for improving patients’ self-management of chronic conditions The role of data for promoting prevention that challenges a disease-based health care system Explorations of novel revenue models, operational models, and business models in the context of digital innovation in health care New reimbursement models based on data Comparisons between outcomes of data-driven strategies to improve health care delivery Design and evaluations of various AI-technologies for creating value Associate Editors: • Margunn Aanestad, University of Agder • Angela Aristidou, University College London • Aaron Baird, Georgia State University • Panos Constantinides, Alliance Manchester Business School • Elizabeth Davidson, Shidler College of Business, University of Hawaii at Manoa • Paul Drews Leuphana, Universität Lüneburg • Anna Essén, Stockholm School of Economics • Daniel Fürstenau, Freie Universität Berlin • Martin Gersch, Freie Universität Berlin • Tobias Kowatsch, Universität St. Gallen • Claudia Müller, Universität Siegen & Kalaidos University of Applied Sciences Switzerland • Roxana Ologeanu-Taddei, University of Montpellier • Christoph Peters, Universität St. Gallen • Hannes Schlieter, Technische Universität Dresden • Martin Sedlmayr, Technische Universität Dresden • Stefanie Steinhäuser, Universität Regensburg • Polyxeni Vassilakopoulou, University of Agder • Till Winkler, Copenhagen Business School ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Prof. Dr. Lauri Wessel Professor of Management and Organization Faculty 7: Business Studies and Economics, University of Bremen Enrique-Schmidt-Straße 1 (WIWI 1), Room A2340 28359 Bremen, Germany Tel.: 0049-421-218 66600 Email: lauri.wessel(a)uni-bremen.de Web: www.mo.uni-bremen.de Check out our latest publications: Wessel, L., Baiyere, A., Ologeanu-Taddei, R., Cha, J., Jensen, T.

Fwd: [AISWorld] CFP: SIG Adoption & Diffusion of IT - Pre-ICIS DIGIT 2020 Virtual Workshop
by Gustaf Neumann 13 Aug '20

13 Aug '20

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP: SIG Adoption & Diffusion of IT - Pre-ICIS DIGIT 2020 Virtual Workshop Date: Thu, 13 Aug 2020 20:03:10 +1200 From: Jean-Grégoire Bernard <jg.bernard(a)gmail.com> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org *CFP: DIGIT 2020 - Sunday, December 13, 2020* *IS Innovation Adoption, Use, and Diffusion in a World of Disruptions* *Submissions Due: Monday, September 14, 2020* The Special Interest Group on the Adoption and Diffusion of Information Technology (SIG ADIT) is over 30 years old and will again host a pre-ICIS workshop for people interested in information technology adoption and diffusion (DIGIT). DIGIT will be held on Sunday December 13, 2020 as a virtual workshop. For decades, IS research on adoption and diffusion has tracked and explained how individuals and organizations use technology. This has been a steady evolution from considering mandatory use contexts of IT within organizations (e.g., PC, ERP systems), to focusing on individual decisions to adopt and use technology in volitional contexts, to unpacking the complex situation of advice giving or recommender systems (Benbasat 2018). Yet, the beginning of 2020 has unveiled a new host of disruptions, including a global pandemic and powerful civil rights protests and political movements. These phenomena are still unfolding but IS is at the heart of many of our solutions to cope with these disruptions. Now, individuals, organizations, and whole ecosystems have been forced to innovatively use technology - from virtual meetings replacing in-person gatherings, to the rapid digitization of processes, to using smart devices to track individuals for contact tracing and disease prevention initiatives. These situations are ripe with individuals, organizations, and society using information technology in novel ways, and our understanding of them will likely benefit from the theoretical lenses used in adoption and diffusion research. Like any extreme case, we believe there is a unique and expansive opportunity to discover important insights about IS innovation, adoption, use, and diffusion that may contribute back to our core body of knowledge. For example, the disruptions of the global pandemic have put pressures on the adoption, use, and diffusion of IS innovation different than we have seen before. It is a global phenomenon, affecting the wide breath of economies, politics, cultures, healthcare systems, etc., around the world, at nearly the same time. The activities of each industry, organization, and individual has likely been touched in complex and interesting ways, as new practices are adopted. Further, many of these practices had to be embraced nearly overnight as sweeping stay-at-home or shelter-in-place orders were put into place. This has no doubt shifted the power between constituents (Markus 1983), generated new digital divides (Bussewitz & Olson, 2020; Ramsetty & Adams, 2020; Stewart, 2020), triggered nearly immediate changes in the utilization and benefits of IS investments (Gal et al. 2008; Yoo et al. 2010), and highlighted the importance of combined, real-time data sets in times of uncertainty (Brynjolfsson et al. 2016), as well as a plethora of other consequences to uncover. The 2020 DIGIT workshop provides an opportunity for IS innovation researchers to come together and generate vibrant discussions and exchanges of ideas about disruptions and their impact in innovation, adoption, use, and diffusion of IS. While papers adhering to the disruption theme are encouraged, research in other IT adoption and diffusion research domains will also be considered. Potential topic areas include, but are not exclusive to: - Individual and collective IS innovation behavior, such as adaptation, coping, improvisation, and resilience, in the presence of disruptions - Multi-level studies considering the rippling effects of disruptions and their implications for IS adoption and diffusion - Process models studying adoption, diffusion, and abandonment before and after a disruption - New theorization of how disruptions matter in IS innovation theories at the individual, organizational, interorganizational, and society levels - New qualitative, quantitative, and design-led methodological approaches to examine the dynamics of IS innovation and adoption, including the use of big trace datasets - IS innovation adoption, diffusion, and abandonment in the presence of various forms of societal events or social influence Submitted research can be conceptual, analytical, design-oriented, or empirical in nature. The workshop will include paper presentations, paper roundtables and panel discussions. Please note, that due to the virtual format, we will not have a poster presentation option this year. *Instructions for Contributors* In the interest of discussing the most current research in this area, we welcome - Full research papers (fourteen single-spaced pages) - Research-in-progress papers (seven single-spaced pages) All submissions will be blind reviewed. Papers should not have been published previously in proceedings or journals, nor be under review elsewhere, but it is the general objective of the workshop that they will be submitted to a premier outlet after the DIGIT workshop. Proceedings of the workshop will be published in the AIS Electronic Library. The authors can choose whether they want the full paper or only an extended abstract to be published. For past proceedings see: http://aisel.aisnet.org/digit/ *Instructions for Submissions*The deadline for submission of papers is Monday, September 14, 2020. Notification of acceptance or rejection will be made in late-October. All papers must conform to the instructions given in the DIGIT 2020 submission template. They must be single-spaced and submitted in Microsoft Word format. Papers, both full research and research-in-progress submissions, should include an abstract. Page counts exclude the title page, references and appendices. The title page should include the paper title and the authors' names, affiliations, and e-mail addresses. The main body of the paper should have a title, but no author identification.

Entrepreneurs are using digital technologies to finance innovation (Ahrens et al. 2019; Audretsch et al. 2016; Fisch 2019) or create new digital products, services, and business models. These activities are called digital entrepreneurship and related new ventures are commonly referred to as digital startups if their business logic fully relies on digital technologies for value creation and transfer (Berger et al. 2019; Steininger 2019). Such endeavors bring changes in entrepreneurial processes (e.g., opportunity recognition and pursuit), innovation, competences, control, financing, institutions, and ecosystems (Block et al. 2018b; Cram et al. 2016; Hoegen et al. 2018; Nambisan 2017; Sussan and Acs 2017; Veit et al. 2014). The analysis of innovation and its positive economic impacts have a long tradition in information systems as well as entrepreneurship research (Audretsch et al. 2006; Yoo et al. 2010). Today, digital entrepreneurship is recognized by many countries as a very important element of economic development and job creation (Block et al. 2018a). However, at the same time, it also challenges established industries and forces them to cope with these new developments and technologies that can have adverse consequences on the economy and society (Shen et al. 2018; Veit et al. 2014). This special issue focuses on understanding digital entrepreneurship and its implications. Specifically, we encourage contributions that deal with the opportunities and challenges of digitalization for entrepreneurial endeavors, specificities of processes in digital startups and for developing digital business models, and the impacts on cities, regions, or countries. *Invited Contributions* Submissions to this special issue are encouraged from all theoretical and methodological perspectives drawing from information systems, entrepreneurship, organizational behavior, strategic management, and others. Authors must clearly outline why their study is new and interesting for research and practice and how it relates to the theme of the special issue. The following list of topics is neither exclusive nor exhaustive. We have structured them along three dimensions (Recker and von Briel 2019): /Opportunities of Digital Entrepreneurship/ * Opportunity recognition via digital means * Novel use of digital technologies for entrepreneurial activities and venture development (e.g., digital tools for business model creation and evaluation, big data, AI) * Opportunities and management of digital methods of funding innovation and entrepreneurship (e.g., crowdfunding, ICOs) * New value creation and platform innovation through digital technologies * Corporate entrepreneurship and startups within established organizations to approach opportunities and challenges of digital transformation * Exploitation of missing regulation of digital entrepreneurship (e.g., Uber) /Processes, Organization, and Challenges of Digital Entrepreneurship/ * Competence and team needs of (corporate) digital entrepreneurs * Digital entrepreneurial culture * The role of universities and entrepreneurial ecosystems for digital entrepreneurship * Impacts of digital technologies on entrepreneurial decision making * Use of Social media or crowdsourcing resources by entrepreneurs * Organization, organizational learning, and performance of digital startups * Management of digital business model innovation * Internationalization of digital startups * Alignment of digital capabilities and business models * Behavior of startups in digital platform ecosystems (e.g., App Entrepreneurs) * Development and management of new digital ecosystems by startups * Industry-specific classification schemes of startups or business models (e.g. sharing economy, blockchain, or AI business model types) * Changes in startup investment processes due to digitalization /Impacts of Digital Entrepreneurship/ * Impacts of digital entrepreneurship on regions and countries (e.g., knowledge spill-over, innovation, job-creation, economic growth) * Investments in digital innovation and their economic or societal pay-offs * The dark side of new digital business models (e.g., negative impacts of sharing economy business models such as AirBnB or Uber on economy and society) * Influences of digital entrepreneurial and innovative activities on government policy or regulation *Schedule* * Deadline for submission: 1 March 2021 * Notification of the author 1: 3 May 2021 * Completion revision 1: 2 July 2021 * Notification of the author 2: 17 August 2021 * Completion Revision 2: 21 September 2021 *Editors of the Special Issue* J.
