> *Mini-Track Title: IT-enabled Organizational Agility and Security*
> Track: IT-Enabled Agility
>
> *Description:*
> We live in a turbulent volatile world today. In this context Prahalad
> (2009) aptly describes this hypercompetitive environment, "In Volatile
> Times,Agility Rules." Organizations aspire to be agile in this highly
> unstable market. IT has enabled organizational agility by helping adapt to
> changing conditions (Lucas Jr. and Olson 1994), building digital options
> (Sambamurthy,  Bharadwaj et al. 2003), etc. While there has been a great
> focus on increasing organizational agility with IT enablement, we are not
> sure whether there have been compromises on security practices while the
> firm tries to be more agile (Baskerville 2004). Organization agility makes
> the organization more flexible while security practices follow strict rules
> and processes. The objective of this minitrack is to invite research
> articles which investigate the interplay between organizational agility
> through IT enablement and security practices which may have been
> compromised because of the focus on agility.
>
> *Call for Papers:*
> The objective of this minitrack is to encourage research articles
> (theoretical, empirical or design science research) which are insightful,
> coherent and methodically sound aligning with the objectives of this
> minitrack. This minitrack is open to various types of research including
> those that use quantitative, qualitative, and theoretical approaches.
