*Information Systems for Data Intensive Supply Chains*

SIGADIT mini-track at AMCIS 2010

Supply chains are generally enabled by complex information systems that 
cater to cross-functional or intra-organizational activities (e.g., 
enterprise resource planning: ERP systems) as well as 
inter-organizational activities (e.g., business-to-business: B2B 
systems). These complex information systems cater to a “data intensive” 
information-sharing environment between the hundreds of suppliers and 
customers involved in supply chain operations. Due to differences in the 
information systems portfolios of organizations in the supply chain and 
the extent of implementation (i.e., one-way or two-way information 
sharing) of these complex information systems, there is considerable 
human intervention at the organizational boundaries to ensure accurate 
transfer and capture of information. Moreover, the adoption and 
implementation of such complex information systems are non-trivial 
activities and entail joint decision-making between organizations on the 
supply chain. Consequently, organizations face considerable challenges 
in achieving supply chain visibility, realizing the true efficiency and 
effectiveness of such complex information systems, and implementing 
complex information systems.

We solicit theoretical and empirical papers on the adoption and 
implementation of complex information systems. Potential topics include 
but are not limited to the following:

§ Adoption and implementation of ERP, SCM, CRM, SRM, and B2B systems

§ SCM: Supply chain management

§ CRM: Customer relationship management

§ SRM: Supplier relationship management

§ Interface between intra-organizational and inter-organizational 
information systems

§ Case studies of supply chain visibility through complex information 
systems

§ Complex information systems in private and public sectors

§ Technologies for increasing efficiency and effectiveness of complex 
information systems

§ Enablement of information sharing across organizational boundaries

§ Complex information systems across different industry sectors

§ Optimal portfolios of complex information systems for supply chain 
operations

§ Diffusion of ERP, SCM, CRM, SRM, and B2B systems
