CALL FOR PAPERS
18th Americas Conference on
Information
Systems (AMCIS 2012)
August 9-12, 2012, Seattle, WA,
USA
Track: Data and Information
Quality
(SIGDQIQ)
Minitrack: Data Governance and
Master
Data Management
DESCRIPTION
Data Governance defines the
decision-making
framework for the management and use of the key business data
objects in
a company. In many cases, these key business data objects are
master data,
i.e. data about customers, products, suppliers, but also about
employees,
charts of accounts, product hierarchies etc. Master data
management
is referred to as an application-independent function which
describes and
manages master data in an organization. It ensures high quality of
these
data by providing guidelines for its management and it creates a
common
view on the data. Thus, Data Governance and Master Data Management
are
closely interrelated. While Data Governance is about the roles and
responsibilities
required for making decisions with regard to data, Master Data
Management
is about executing and implementing these decisions.
The relevance of both Data
Governance
and Master Data Management stems from the importance key business
data
objects play for businesses. The quality of these data is a
prerequisite
for complying with regulatory and legal provisions, taking an 360
degree
perspective on the customer, and providing a "single source of the
truth" for company-wide reporting needs. Despite the relevance of
the issue, current efforts in practice leave much to be desired.
Moreover,
the topic has been discussed in the information systems (IS)
research area
to a marginal extent only so far.
The proposed mini-track addresses
this
gap and aims at giving a forum for novel concepts and research
work in
the following areas:
* Theoretical foundations of Data
Governance
and Master Data Management
* Evolution of Data Governance
arrangements
over time
* Value of Data Governance and
Master
Data Management
* Human factors affecting Data
Governance
arrangements and the success of Master Data Management
* Design theories for Data
Governance
and Master Data Management
* Data Governance and Corporate
Governance
* Master data centric business
models
* Master Data Management and
Business
Process Management
* Interdependencies between Data
Governance
and/or Master Data Management and Enterprise Architecture
Management
* Software support for Data
Governance
and Master Data Management
* Master data quality
* Master data lifecycle management
* Master data architectures and
deployment
scenarios
* Business metadata management
* Standardization activities
* Case studies and applications
* Industry specific aspects
The minitrack chairs welcome
innovative
research papers from both the academic and the practitioners’
community.
