2nd CALL FOR PAPERS
SPECIAL ISSUE: ECONOMICS AND VALUE OF IS
BUSINESS & INFORMATION SYSTEMS ENGINEERING (BISE)
Submission Deadline: 2014-11-01
http://www.bise-journal.com/?p=891
**********************************************
A major part of our current economy is based on the value creation through Information Systems (IS) that enable the creation, exchange, and processing of large amounts of information. This results in new business models such as the upcoming sharing economy and opportunities for firms such as product customization, analyzing consumer-produced content, or marketing through social networks. However, the details on how such new business models and opportunities affect organizations, industries, economies and societies in the long run still have to be investigated. The special issue on economics and value of IS considers various issues related to IS and IT including economics of information goods, platforms, cloud computing, mobile services, as well as the impact of IT-driven business models on existing organizations, industries, economies, and societies.
The common element across all papers is that they are expected to make an original contribution to the theory or practice of creating, adopting or using information technology. This may come from examining new phenomena, applying a new theoretical perspective, or by gathering new data. Authors should focus on articulating their unique contribution, linking it both to the body of their study and contrasting it to the characterization from prior research.
This special issue invites theoretical and empirical submissions that comprise -- but are not restricted to -- topics like:
Economics of information and communication goods (pricing, bundling, policies, ...)
Business models for information goods
Economics of service networks
Internet Economics
Adoption of Cloud Computing
Matching in electronic markets -- issues of efficiency and mechanism design
Economics of mobile services
Decision-making in electronic markets
Network effects of IS
Economics of IT infrastructures
Business Value of IT projects and programs
IT, productivity and organizational complements
Online auctions -- issues of trust, simultaneity and competing auctions
Platform competition, standards and multi-sided networks
Predictive modeling in economics of IS
Economics of the sharing industry
