Fwd: [AISWorld] Final CfP: ECIS 2020 - Track #24 "Rethinking IS Strategy and Governance in the Digital Age"
by Gustaf Neumann 18 Nov '19

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Final CfP: ECIS 2020 - Track #24 "Rethinking IS Strategy and Governance in the Digital Age" Date: Sun, 17 Nov 2019 23:26:33 +0000 From: Wiener, Martin <MWIENER(a)bentley.edu> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org>, wi(a)lists.uni-karlsruhe.de <wi(a)lists.uni-karlsruhe.de> CC: Nils Urbach <nils.urbach(a)uni-bayreuth.de>, Wiener, Martin <MWIENER(a)bentley.edu>, Remus, Ulrich <Ulrich.Remus(a)uibk.ac.at> (Apologies for cross-postings of this announcement.) **************************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS 28th European Conference on Information Systems (ECIS 2020) Track #24: Rethinking IS Strategy and Governance in the Digital Age June 15-17, 2020, Marrakech, Morocco (https://ecis2020.ma/ecis-2020-tracks/) **************************************************************************** TRACK CHAIRS Martin Wiener, Bentley University, USA, mwiener(a)bentley.edu (corresponding track chair) Nils Urbach, University of Bayreuth, Germany, mailto:nils.urbach@uni-bayreuth.de Ulrich Remus, University of Innsbruck, Austria, mailto:ulrich.remus@uibk.ac.at DESCRIPTION In the digital age, innovative technologies influence and change established work processes, products, services, and business models by connecting individuals, organizations, machines, and other 'things' in new ways, as well as by enabling novel working, collaboration, and automation models (Fitzgerald et al. 2014). To succeed in this highly competitive and dynamic environment, organizations must unfold the potential of advanced digital technologies in their business strategies, transform their work routines, processes and structures, rethink their business models, as well as manage and govern IT infrastructures that are central to their value propositions (Legner et al. 2017). In short, pervasive digitalization has increased the importance of information technology (IT) and transformed the demands placed on organizations' IT functions. Besides ensuring regular IT operations, IT functions are increasingly required to proactively identify technological innovations and to rapidly transfer them into marketable solutions -- and with that to directly contribute to their organization's value proposition (Urbach et al. 2017). In this context, IS strategizing and governance represent key activities for the effective deployment of IT resources and ultimately for value creation through IT. The emergence of new digital technologies (e.g., artificial intelligence [AI], big-data analytics, blockchain, cloud computing) and infrastructures (e.g., digital platforms and ecosystems), novel value-creation processes and work practices (e.g., IT consumerization, human-robot collaboration, resource sharing) along with the availability of unprecedented data volumes challenge existing conceptualizations and theories related to IS strategy and governance (Markus 2017; Newell & Marabelli 2015). For instance, while cloud services may make the IT artefact seemingly disappear, the challenge of governing the design and use of such services and associated IT resources has become even more acute (Schneider & Sunyaev 2016). Digital business models and gig economy platforms that revolve around resource sharing and/or complex product-service offerings not only challenge organizational boundaries, but also established ideas about ownership of resources, tasks, and outputs (Schor 2014). Similarly, while AI-based algorithms can automate business processes, they also highlight the need for data and process governance (Tarafdar et al. 2017). At the same time, in organizations where more 'traditional' technologies and work arrangements are still dominant, IS strategy and governance challenges remain highly complex and important (Wiener et al. 2016). The objectives of the proposed track are two-fold. First, from a scholarly research perspective, the objective is to foster and promote novel concepts and theories on IS strategy and governance, with a particular focus on the manifold opportunities and challenges associated with the pervasive digitalization of business and society. Second, the track aims at offering insights that enable IS practitioners to leverage emerging digital technologies, to respond to digitalization challenges, and ultimately, to make effective use of available IT resources. The track is open to all types of contributions -- including research in progress -- studying IS strategy and governance topics from different stakeholder perspectives, in different contexts and settings (e.g., for-profits and non-profits), at different levels of analysis (e.g., individual, project, program, corporate, network, ecosystem, and societal level), and with different theoretical perspectives and methodological approaches (e.g., conceptual and empirical studies). We particularly welcome studies that address the conference theme "Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity in a Digitizing World" by relating IS strategy and governance topics to social challenges and opportunities emerging from the digital era. TOPICS OF INTEREST Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Digital strategizing and strategy implementation (e.g., link to overall business strategy, development of digital capabilities, sustainability of digital strategies, translation of strategic objectives into governance practices and structures) * Strategic impact of emerging digital technologies (e.g., artificial intelligence, blockchain, big-data analytics, cloud computing) on business models, governance structures, and processes, etc. * Governance of digital transformation and innovation processes (e.g., new governance models for complex organizations, such as companies operating with coexisting 'brick and mortar' and digital business models) * Changing role of CIO function & New role of CDO function (e.g., 'digital race' between CIO and CDO, structure and nature of business-IT relationships) * Data-driven leadership and control approaches (e.g., algorithmic management of work processes, technology-mediated control) * Governance of digital value-creation processes and networks (e.g., digital platforms and ecosystems, Industry 4.0 and cyber-physical systems, IT consumerization, IT-enabled product-service systems, resource sharing, etc.) * Governance of novel work practices (e.g., agile software development, human-robot interaction and collaboration) and sourcing models (e.g., crowdsourcing, multi-sourcing, open-sourcing, and back-sourcing) * Information security governance (e.g., cybersecurity frameworks, standards, and policies for critical infrastructures) * Dark side of digital strategies/governance, including ethical issues as well as undesired ecological, economic, and socio-emotional side-effects (e.g., technostress) * Critical reflections on IS strategy and governance in the digital age (e.g., truly 'new' features and challenges of digitalization, links to traditional research streams) * Novel theoretical perspectives and research approaches that broaden, or challenge, our understanding of IS strategy and governance in the digital age REFERENCES * Fitzgerald, M., Kruschwitz, N., Bonnet, D., & Welch, M.

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:> <Paper Development Workshop (ECIS 2020)> •Submission of extended abstracts commences 1st February 2020 and ends midnight (CET) 31st March 2020> •Authors will be notified of decision by mid-April 2020> •Paper Development Workshop: 14th June 2020> <IT & People Special Issue:> < 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> <Paper Development Workshop> Only invited authors can attend this workshop. Authors will have the opportunity to present their extended abstracts and receive feedback on how best to develop their article for submission to the special issue with Information Technology & People. Extended abstracts (1,500 - 3,000 words) must use the ECIS 2020 (completed research) paper template. This word limit does not include references, tables, or figures. There is no specific structure but the extended abstract must address the following: • What is the theoretical lens of your research and how does this theory help us to better understand the nature of the research phenomenon? • What are the specific contributions that your research will make to academia and practice? • What are the intended implications of your research for academia and practice? We welcome studies using the range of investigative methodologies qualitative and quantitative, case study, with data collected by survey, interview, observation, analytic analysis. Technical papers and systematic literature reviews are not within the scope of this special issue.If you have any further questions, please consult any of the guest editors. Submission of extended abstracts in PDF format is via EasyChair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=specialissue-itpeopl). Submission of full papers in PDF format is via Manuscript Central (http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/itp). While there is no guarantee that work presented at the workshop will be published in the special issue, it is expected that some will eventually be published in IT & People, once further developed. It is possible to submit a full paper without having submitted an extended abstract but we advise submitting an extended abstract. <References> Abbasi, A., Sarker, S. and Chiang, R.H., 2016.

Nalepa, Martin Atzmueller, Michał Araszkiewicz, Paulo Novais Abstract: ========= Humanized AI emphasizes transparency and explainability in AI systems. These perspectives have an important ethical dimension, that is most often analyzed by philosophers. However, in order for it to be fruitful for AI engineers, it has to be properly focused. The intersection of Law and AI that makes it possible, as it provides a conceptual framework for ethical concepts and values in AI systems. A significant part of AI and Law research during the last two decades was devoted to operationalization of legal thinking with values. These results may now be reconsidered in a broader context, concerning the development of HAI systems and their social impact. It is a timely issue for the AI and Law community. Motivation for the workshop and description =========================================== Humanized AI (HAI) includes important perspectives in AI systems, including transparency and explainability (XAI). Another one is the affective computing paradigm. These perspectives have an important ethical dimension. While ethical discussion is conducted by many philosophers, in order for it to be fruitful for engineers in AI, it has to be properly focused with specific concepts and operationalized. We believe, that it is the intersection of Law and AI that makes such an endeavor possible. Together, this lays foundations and provides a conceptual framework for ethical concepts and values in AI systems. Therefore, when discussing ethical consequences and considerations of transparent and explainable AI systems, including affective systems, we should focus on the legal conceptual framework. A significant part of AI and Law research during the last two decades was devoted to operationalization of legal thinking with values. These results may now be reconsidered in a broader context, concerning the development of XAI systems and their social impact. As such it is a very timely issue for the AI and Law community. Our objective is to bring people from AI interested in XAI/HAI topics (possibly with broader background than just engineering) and create an ample space for discussion with people from the field of legal scholarship and/or legal practice. As many members of the AI and Law community join both perspectives, the JURIX conference should be assessed as perfect venue for the workshop. Together we would like to address some questions like: * the notions of transparency, interpretability and explainability in XAI * non-functional design choices for explainable and transparent AI systems * legal consequences of black-box AI systems * legal criteria and requirements for explainable and transparent AI systems * possible applications of XAI systems in the area of legal policy deliberation, legal practice, teaching and research * ethical and legal implications of the use of AI systems in different spheres of societal life * the notion of right to explanation relation of XAI and argumentation technologies * XAI models, approaches and architectures * XAI and declarative domain knowledge * risk-based approach to analysis of AI systems and the influence of XAI on risk assessment * incorporation of ethical values into AI systems & its legal interpretation and consequences * XAI, privacy and data protection * possible legal aspects and consequences of affective systems * XAI, certification and compliance Important dates: ================ Submission: 25.11.2019 Notification: 01.12.2019 Camera-ready: 06.12.2019 Workshop: 11.12.2019 -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Assoc.
