-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Call for Papers BISE - Digital Entrepreneurship: Opportunities, Challenges, and Impacts Date: Tue, 11 Aug 2020 18:06:40 +0200 From: Dennis Steininger | University of Augsburg <dennis.steininger(a)wiwi.uni-augsburg.de> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org **************************************************************************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS **BISE Special Issue - Digital Entrepreneurship: Opportunities, Challenges, and Impacts** Deadline for submission: 1 March 2021 Details: http://www.bise-journal.com/?p=1865 **************************************************************************************************************************** *SPECIAL ISSUE* Digital transformation creates new opportunities and is an important driver of novel and often disruptive innovation and value creation. 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.

Internationale Tagung Wirtschaftsinformatik (WI 2021), 09.-11. März 2021, Universität Duisburg-Essen https://wi2021.de/datenmanagement-und-datenoekosysteme/ ** *Einreichungsfrist : 28.8.2020 (verlängert)* ** *Track Chairs* Christine Legner, HEC - Universität Lausanne Boris Otto, Fraunhofer-Institut für Software- und Systemtechnik ISST, TU Dortmund Dirk Stelzer, TU Ilmenau ** *Beschreibung* Die Wertschöpfung von Unternehmen ist schon heute entscheidend von der Qualität der Daten und der Effizienz ihrer Planung, Verarbeitung, Steuerung und Kontrolle abhängig. Ausgelöst durch die Digitalisierung und das Internet der Dinge werden Daten darüber hinaus zum Kernbestandteil von Geschäftsmodellen oder von neuen Dienstleistungen („Data-as-a-Service“). Daten werden zunehmend direkt monetarisiert, und es entstehen auf diese Weise neuartige Datenökosysteme. Die kürzlich aufgelegten Datenstrategien der deutschen Bundesregierung und der Europäischen Kommission unterstreichen die Bedeutung, die Daten für die zukünftige Wettbewerbsfähigkeit von Unternehmen sowie gesellschaftliche Prosperität beigemessen wird. Datenmanagement umfasst sämtliche Aktivitäten, die zur Bewirtschaftung von Daten in Unternehmen und Wertschöpfungsnetzwerken notwendig sind. Dazu gehören insbesondere organisatorische Aufgaben und Daten-Governance sowie Daten-/Informationsmodellierung und -architekturen. Durch die Digitalisierung und das Internet der Dinge ergeben sich vielfältige Forschungsbedarfe: Die Ansätze des Datenmanagements sind auf neue Datenklassen, insbesondere unstrukturierte Daten, und Datenspeicher für heterogene Daten zu erweitern. Darüber hinaus erfordern Datenökosysteme das Teilen von Daten bei gleichzeitiger Gewährleistung der Datensouveränität des Datengebers sowie der Vertrauensschutz des Datennehmers. Forschungsbedarf besteht zudem bei der institutionellen, organisatorischen und technischen Gestaltung von Dateninfrastrukturen, die es erlauben interne mit externen und offenen Datenbestände („Open Data“) zu verknüpfen. *Themenfelder * Wir ermutigen Autorinnen und Autoren, sowohl theoriebasierte als auch anwendungsorientierte Beiträge, die sich mit dem Datenmanagement und Datenökosystemen beschäftigen, in diesem Track einzureichen. Mögliche Themen umfassen: * Management von Daten und Datenqualität * Verfahren zur Definition, Bewertung und Verbesserung der Datenqualität * Data Sharing und multilaterale Formen des Datenmanagements * Governance von Datenplattformen * Datenmonetarisierung, Datenmarktplätze und Datenwert * Theorien zur Wertschöpfung von Daten * Datenschutz, Datensicherheit und Datensouveränität * Nutzung und Bewirtschaftung von externen Daten * Wiederverwenden und Teilen von Daten in Ökosystemen * Rollen und Konfiguration von Data Supply Chains / Data Value Chains * Architekturen und -standards für Datenökosysteme * Interoperabilität und Portabilität von Daten in der Cloud *Associate Editors* Sören Auer, Leibniz Universität Hannover Markus Eurich, Universität Lausanne Jörg Leukel, Universität Hohenheim Matthias Jarke, RWTH Allan Hanbury, TU Wien Matthias Klier, Universität Ulm Wolfgang Maaß, DFKI, Universität des Saarlandes Thomas Schäffer, Hochschule Heilbronn Alexander Schiller, Universität Regensburg Kristin Weber, Hochschule Würzburg-Schweinfurt Anette Weisbecker, Fraunhofer IAO, Universität Stuttgart Manuel Wiesche, TU Dortmund Axel Winkelmann, Universität Würzburg Informationen zum Track: https://wi2021.de/datenmanagement-und-datenoekosysteme/

Fwd: [AISWorld] CfP - ACIS (2020) - Track: DataAnalytics, Knowledge Management, and Strategic Decision Making
by Gustaf Neumann 09 Aug '20

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CfP - ACIS (2020) - Track: DataAnalytics, Knowledge Management, and Strategic Decision Making Date: Sun, 9 Aug 2020 10:58:10 +1200 From: Nazim Taskin <nazimtaskin(a)gmail.com> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Dear colleagues, Call for Papers *ACIS (2020) - Track: Data Analytics, Knowledge Management, and Strategic Decision Making* The goal of the Data Analytics, Knowledge Management and Strategic Decision-making track is to advance our knowledge of the complexity of the disruptive technologies of data analytics and their role in the advancement of KM for better strategic decision-making. Aligned with the conference theme, the emphasis of the track is on how individual and organizational knowledge can be distilled from and incorporated into data analytics for making more effective decisions and guidance to “navigate our digital future”. Therefore, we encourage submissions that offer significant theoretical and practical contributions on how organisations can utilise emerging and analytics technologies to create value and knowledge more effectively. Data by itself is worthless unless business users analyse it and transform it into practical knowledge that delivers value to their organizations. That’s where data analytics and KM come into the picture. The success of business decisions and government policies relies heavily on the quality of the data and knowledge that underlie the decisions and policies. For this reason, gathering, analysing and considering reliable data and more importantly, transforming them into usable knowledge and expertise is increasingly critical in strategic decision-making (Intezari & Gressel, 2017; Nicolas, 2004). Due to the extensive uncertainty, ambiguity, and risk associated with strategic decisions (McKenzie et al., 2011), the role of data analytics tools and technologies in KM has much to offer to help businesses and government agencies to succeed in their strategic decision-making (Li, Goh, & Jin, 2018). Nevertheless, the transformation of data into knowledge and the use of analytical tools in incorporating data and knowledge into strategic decisions is an underdeveloped field. While offering significant promises, data analytics poses new challenges for both practitioners and scholars. Therefore, it is important and timely that the fields of decision-making and KM respond to the profound changes that big data and analytics are bringing to organizations (Pauleen & Wang, 2017). We are particularly interested in the incorporation of KM systems into strategic decisions and policies, as well as the use of analytic tools and techniques in fully supporting and successfully operationalizing people’s knowledge. This track invites submissions that address the challenges and opportunities associated with data analytics and KM, and their implication/incorporation into business processes and decision-making practices at the individual and organisational levels. The papers should address the conference theme. The track accepts empirical papers, as well as conceptual papers that offer deep theoretical insights into the areas of interest. The track is open to papers employing various research methods; and accepts completed research papers, as well as research-in-progress papers. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Data analytics across decision-making levels: strategic, tactical, and operational - Data analytics and emerging research philosophies and methodologies - Methodologies, techniques, and analytical tools for individual and group decision-making - The integration of data analytics and KM for strategic decision-making: techniques, challenges and opportunities - Organizational barriers and enablers of the use of data analytics and KM in managerial and strategic decision-making - KM initiatives for managerial and strategic decision-making - Design, development, and use of KM technologies to support data-driven decisions and strategies - Organizational barriers and enablers of the use of data analytics for KM in managerial and strategic decision - Analytical tools and techniques, such as text analytics and sentiment analysis for analysing knowledge and disseminating expertise - Visualisation of structured and unstructured data and knowledge - Big data velocity and real-time analysis of data in decision-making at the individual and organisational levels - KM innovation, standards and challenges in managing data-driven decisions - Data Mining in explicit knowledge - Cultural challenges in organizations merging initiatives in analytics and KM - Individual, intra-, and inter-organizational data analytics and KM technologies Conference website: https://www.acis2020.org/ Deadline (please check conference website for updates): - August 24: Paper submission deadline - September 30: Notification of acceptance - December 1-4, 2020: Virtual Conference Track co-chairs: Dr Ali INTEZARI, University of Queensland, a.intezari(a)uq.edu.au Professor David PAULEEN, Massey University, d.pauleen(a)massey.ac.nz Dr Tiong-thye GOH, Victoria University of Wellington, tiong.goh(a)vuw.ac.nz Dr Hamed JAFARZADEH, Massey University, h.jafarzadeh(a)massey.ac.nz References: - Intezari, A., and Gressel, S. 2017. “Information and Reformation in KM Systems: Big Data and Strategic Decision-making,” *Journal of Knowledge Management* (21:1), pp. 71–91. - Li, L., Goh, T.

Fwd: [AISWorld] CFP:Responsible AI and Analytics for an Ethical and Inclusive Digitised Society

06 Aug '20

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP:Responsible AI and Analytics for an Ethical and Inclusive Digitised Society Date: Wed, 5 Aug 2020 19:34:38 +0000 From: Dennehy, Denis <denis.dennehy(a)nuigalway.ie> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> The 20th IFIP Conference e-Business, e-Services, and e-Society I3E2021 Responsible AI and Analytics for an Ethical and Inclusive Digitised Society 1st – 3rd September 2021 NUI Galway, Galway, Ireland www.I3E2021.com<http://www.i3e2021.com/> AI, analytics, and ICT in general, create opportunities and unintended or negative consequences for individuals and society (cf. Ransbotham et al., 2016; Majchrzak et al., 2016). These opportunities and consequences have not been evenly distributed. Despite the many personal, economic, and societal benefits offered by AI and analytics, its use raises a variety of ethical concerns. Ethics permeates the entire analytics process, from what data to use, to how to represent the extracted knowledge and exploit the insights to create economic and social value. Ethical concerns (i.e. illegitimate surveillance, invasion of privacy, unemployment, malicious use etc.) are frequently used to portray AI and analytics as ‘a danger to humanity’. These concerns warrant the attention of the academic community who are in a privileged position within society to raise awareness about the responsible design, implementation and use of AI, analytics, and ICT. At the same time, AI and analytics has opened new domains of exclusion and privilege for some, leaving some individuals and communities excluded from the digitised society. For example, digital exclusion is part of the overall challenge of exclusion, a growing phenomenon which carries with it a series of deteriorations in life paths (i.e. poor lifelong earnings and an increased risk of marginalisation). There are many who are currently excluded for reasons of low income and education, location, culture, trust and confidence levels or various disabilities (European Commission). Success in the increasingly digitised society requires a comprehensive approach to fostering an ethical and inclusive society. The 20th IFIP Conference on e-Business, e-Services, and e-Society aims to bring together contributions from a variety of perspectives, disciplines and communities for the advancement of knowledge regarding Responsible AI and Analytics for an Ethical and Inclusive Digitised Society. To this end, we invite scholars, practitioners and research students to submit and present their papers and findings to the 20th IFIP Conference on e-Business, e-Services, and e-Society to be held in September 2021 at NUI Galway, Galway, Ireland. Theoretical and empirical papers employing quantitative, qualitative, and/or critical methods are welcomed. Submission Guidelines Authors should submit original, unpublished research papers. All papers must not simultaneously be submitted to another journal or conference. All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Special Issue CfP: Business Analytics for the Management of Information Systems Development Date: Wed, 5 Aug 2020 19:36:02 +0000 From: Dennehy, Denis <denis.dennehy(a)nuigalway.ie> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Special issue CfP from Information Technology & People Submission deadline: 30th September 2020 Special issue editors: Denis Dennehy, National University of Ireland Galway, Ireland Email: denis.dennehy(a)nuigalway.ie<mailto:denis.dennehy@nuigalway.ie> Ilias Pappas, University of Agder, Norway Email: ilias.pappas(a)uia.no<mailto:%20ilias.pappas@uia.no> Samuel Fossa Wamba, Toulouse Business School, France Email: s.fosso-wamba(a)tbs-education.fr<mailto:s.fosso-wamba@tbs-education.fr> Katina Michael, Arizona State University, USA Email: katina.michael(a)asu.edu <mailto:katina.michael@asu.edu> <mailto:katina.michael@asu.edu>Overview of Special Issue Information Systems Development (ISD) has been part of the intellectual core of information systems for over 40 years (Obrand et al., 2018; Sidorova et al., 2008). Its chequered history of successes and failures has, however, been an ongoing concern of the IS research community (Dwivedi et al., 2015; Hassan & Mathiassen, 2017). Despite efforts to improve the management of ISD projects, these efforts have not had the desired effect (Lim et al., 2011). There is anecdotal evidence that business analytics can help project managers to (i) understand the dynamics and collective state of complex projects, (ii) detect and forecast trends, (iii) improve the effectiveness of risk models, (iv) evaluate the effectiveness of a change to the development process, and (v) distinguish questions of ‘information’ from questions of ‘insight’ (Davenport et al., 2010). Business analytics are frequently referred to as ‘the techniques, technologies, systems, practices, methodologies, and applications that analyse critical business data to help an enterprise better understand its business and market and make timely decisions’ (Chen et al., 2012, p.1166). Yet, much of the research conducted to date has focused on the technologies of business analytics and not enough on the people and their organisational context in which such technologies are intended to be used (Abbasi et al, 2017; Conboy et al., 2018; Mikalef et al., 2019). This is a significant limitation given that the ISD environment is a highly metric oriented, complex, and socially embedded activity that is continuously changing (Conboy, 2009; Kudaravalli et al., 2017; Windeler et al., 2017). This special issue seeks to collect contemporary research on the latest developments and challenges of how organisations exploit business analytics to support project/portfolio managers, project teams, and other project stakeholders. Indicative List of Anticipated Themes This special issue seeks a wide range of articles that draw on diverse project settings, theories, and approaches to understand the different aspects of business analytics as applied to the context of ISD. The following questions are of interest for the special issue: • How can business analytics be used to better understand and manage ISD projects? • What value does business analytics provide to ISD management and development teams? • What tensions arise from the integration of business analytics with traditional and agile methods and practices? • What are the emerging best practices that enable business analytics to be embedded within the ISD process and the wider organisation? • Does the deployment of business analytics make existing agile methods and practices less valuable or even obsolete? • What new metrics and standards can business analytics provide to manage and control ISD projects more effectively? • How can business analytics enable organisational learning and innovation in the context of ISD? • How are business analytics being applied in various types (distributed, large scale) of ISD projects? • How can business analytics support the scaling of ISD projects? • What are the change management and organisational cultural issues that need to be considered when developing analytical capabilities? • How can business analytics provide new ways of working in ISD projects? • What ethical issues stem from the use of business analytics in ISD projects? • How can business analytics be used to support more effective decision making? • What are the new theories and theoretical developments to explain the implementation and use of business analytics in ISD projects? These questions are not intended to be exhaustive. Rather they are intended to stimulate thinking about the role of business analytics in the management of ISD projects across various levels of analysis - from participants in individual projects through projects, programs, portfolios, organisations, and the wider society. We welcome submissions that address questions pertaining to all aspects of the intersection of business analytics and ISD project management. Important Dates: • Initial paper submission deadline: 30th September, 2020 • First round authors notification: 30th November, 2020 • Invited revisions deadline: 31st January, 2021 • Second round authors notification: 31st March, 2021 • Final revision deadline: 31st May, 2021 • Final authors notification: 30th June, 2021 • Projected publication date: Winter 2021 Submission Details To view the author guidelines for this journal, please visit: https://www.emeraldgrouppublishing.com/products/journals/author_guidelines.… Please submit your manuscript via our review website: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/itp References Abbasi, A., Sarker, S. and Chiang, R.H., 2016.
