AMCIS 2020 Call for Papers
Track Organizational Transformation & Information Systems (SIG OSRA)
August 12-16, 2020, Salt Lake City, Utah

Dear colleagues,

if you are working in the area of organizational transformation & IS / digital transformation, please consider submitting a paper to one of minitracks in the track "Organizational Transformation & Information Systems" sponsored by SIG OSRA.

This year, the minitracks seek to attract papers related to agile methods, business process management, digital disruption, digital platforms, smart services and start-ups. The general minitrack is also open for further topics related to the track's theme. 

Track description:
By adopting, adapting, or developing Information Systems (IS), organizations and their IS continually undergo a considerable transformation often referred to as “digital transformation”. As a result, information systems, business models, business processes, and end-user workplaces are perpetually analyzed, rethought, and changed. Nowadays, many systems in organizations are already interconnected to form inter-organizational IS, contributing to a complex IS landscape in current organizations. This renews the importance of analyzing the interplay between IS and organizations from socio-technical and end-user perspectives and the implications of changing IS on end-users and customers, who are increasingly technologically savvy and immersed in this digital transformation.
