(in conjunction with International Conference on Information
Systems)
The Workshop on e-Business (WeB) is a premier annual one-day
conference on e-Business and e-Commerce held in conjunction with
the International Conference on Information Systems (ICIS). The
purpose of WeB is to provide an open forum for e-Business
researchers and practitioners world-wide, to share topical
research findings, explore novel ideas, discuss success stories
and lessons learned, map out major challenges, and collectively
chart future directions for e-Business.
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the 20th Workshop on
e-Business (WeB) will be held virtually, on December 11, 2021.
The theme of WeB 2021 is “From Grand Challenges to Everlasting
Solutions: Digital Transformation in the Age of COVID-19”. The
past decade has witnessed an unrelenting exponential growth in
digital and e-Business technologies that transform how we
interact, live and work – from communication to entertainment to
employment. Adoption of these technologies has never been more
important than in current times. When the COVID-19 pandemic shut
down the physical world, many business industries, ranging from
retail, restaurant, finance to education, were compelled to
swiftly migrate into remote / digital environments in order to
survive. As the world has started to slowly recover from this
unprecedented event, the sustainability and the longevity of such
rapid digital transformation is now a matter of debate. The
purpose of this conference is to provide a forum for IS academics
and practitioners to identify and explore the issues,
opportunities, and solutions related to e-Business, digital
transformation, and IT-enabled recovery in the post-pandemic era.
We invite original research articles with a broad coverage of
topics on consumers, citizens, businesses, industries and
governments, ranging from technical to strategic issues. Suggested
research topics include, but are not limited to, the following
areas:
* Digital transformation
* Digital recovery
* Digital inclusion
* Innovative e-Business models for crisis management
* Artificial intelligence enabled business applications
* Artificial intelligence and model biases
* Social, ethical, policy, and privacy issues related to
e-Business
* Mobile business and applications
* The future of e-business in the post-pandemic age
* Research methods/methodology and agendas related to e-Business
Important Dates:
* Submission Deadline: Sep. 30, 2021
* Notification of Acceptance: Nov.15, 2021
* Final Version Due: Nov. 30, 2021
