Workshop Description:
Ever since its first manifesto in Greece around 3000 years ago,
sports as a field has accumulated a long history with strong
traditions while at the same time, gone through tremendous changes
toward professionalization and commercialization. The current
waves of digitalization have intensified its evolution, as digital
technologies are increasingly entrenched in a wide range of
sporting activities and for applications beyond mere performance
enhancement.
Though the use of digital tools in sports can be traced back to
Michael Lewis’ “Moneyball” where Billy Bean, the head coach of
Oakland Athletics, deployed analytics to make decisions regarding
the composition of the team, nowadays digitalization in sports
settings goes beyond data analytics, and expands to areas such as
organizing and managing sports teams and their stakeholders,
accessing and interpreting sports information, inventing new
instruments and strategies that would not be possible otherwise.
Further, digitalization has also led to creation of new sports –
e-sports, which poses profound implications for the very nature of
the sports field.
This pre-ICIS workshop focuses on the broad phenomenon of
digitalization in the context of professional sports. Our goal is
three-fold: (1) to examine how sports organizations have
approached digitalization and utilized various digital tools
across different sports areas, as well as how digitalization
and/or digital technologies changes the practices and the very
organization of sports; (2) to investigate the sports context and
how this context can contribute to our understanding of
digitalization; (3) and to form a network of scholars and
practitioners who share similar interests of the theme.
Topics:
We welcome papers with all methodological approaches and encourage
submissions from researchers representing all ontological
perspectives. Our intention is to provide a forum for bringing
together researchers with similar interests both to share their
current work and to plan future directions for the theme. We also
hope to stimulate future collaboration in research development.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
* e-sports and its relationship with traditional sports
* Sports analytics, its use and impacts
* Digitalization of sports related experiences
* Digitalization and the changing nature of sports
* Technology adoption and sports
* Business models of technology and sports
* Organizational issues in sports
