************************************************* CALL FOR PAPERS 15th Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS 2009) August 6 - 9, 2009 (Thursday-Sunday) San Francisco Marriott (http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/sfodt-san-francisco-marriott/)
Track: Performance and Measurement Minitrack: Information Systems Success & Benchmarking
Annual worldwide spending on information technology (IT) has been increasing for many years. By 2010, International Data Cooperation expects the total expenditure on IT to reach 1.48 trillion US dollars (IDC 2007). Simultaneously, however, a greater number of information systems (IS) failures are still emerging. A questionnaire-based survey carried out in 2006 in the USA indicated that only 62% of software projects were considered successful (Verner et al. 2006). The measurement of investments and developed systems' success, as well as the paradox of high investments and low productivity returns ("productivity paradox") therefore remains a top concern for both practitioners and researchers (Brynjolfsson 1993). During the last two and a half decades, research on measuring IS success – the clarification of an important dependent variable in IS research – has been a popular stream of research. A number of models have been proposed in attempts to define IS success and identify the various causes of success or failure respectively. Complementary, the benchmarking method allows for an external perspective on the unit of analysis and therefore for an inter-organizational comparison. Thus, organizations are able to assess costs and benefits of IS with respect to a peer group. In addition, benchmarking establishes standards as well as a shared understanding and common procedures. Researchers and practitioners interested in submitting papers to this minitrack are encouraged to present research into strategies, methodologies, and stories that relate to assess and benchmark IS. In addition, this minitrack will be used to explore the bodies of performance measurements that define the current state of research in measuring IS success.
Topics and research areas include, but are not limited to: * Frameworks and models for assessing IS success/effectiveness * Measuring IS success/effectiveness in global organizations and globally dispersed communities * Impact of strategic, organizational, process-related, cultural, and other issues on IS success * Critical discussion of existing approaches (D&M IS Success Model, TAM, etc.) * IS success factors and key performance indicators * Benchmarking initiatives comparing IS across different organizations and industries * Exploring security system success and security benchmarking * Empirical studies evaluating different kinds of IS such as - Customer Relationship Management Systems - Project (Portfolio) Management Systems - Knowledge Management Systems - Decision Support Systems - Collaborative Systems - Enterprise Systems * Case studies of IS success and performance evaluation * Why doesn’t focusing on system requirements lead to system success?

AMCIS 2009 will be in San Francisco, the center of the high-tech Bay Area. It will bring together the best of academia and industry to focus on the future of Information Systems. Come join us in the City by the Bay and be part of this exciting conference. Papers will be peer-reviewed using a double-blind system and will be considered for Best Paper Awards. In 2009, a Best Paper Award for a practitioner-oriented paper will be selected with input from CIOs.
Important Deadlines: * January 2, 2009: Manuscript Central will start accepting paper submissions * February 20, 2009 (11:59 PM Pacific time zone): Deadline for paper submissions * April 2, 2009: Authors will be notified of acceptances on or about this date * April 20, 2009 (11:59 PM Pacific time zone): For accepted papers, camera ready copy due
Instructions for Paper Submission: If you would like to submit a research paper to the 15th Americas Conference on Information systems (AMCIS 2009), please visit the Minitrack Details at http://amcis2009.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=12... http://amcis2009.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=121&Itemid=78to determine which Minitrack is most suitable for your paper.
