Track description:

Enterprise System (ES), as one of the most costly IT innovation investment by a formal organization, has gained significant progress in terms of research and practice for the last two decades. As a large-scale, integrated software package, ES simplifies, coordinates and manages almost all the business processes andinformation flow across multiple business units(e.g. accounting, marketing, manufacturing and logistics) resulting in an organized management of an entire organization. Due to its organization-wide impact, significant research attention has been expanded to understand various essential, yet multifaceted issues relating to ES design, implementation, adoption, and upgrade.

 

To provide better services to organizational users, ES has developed, over the years, from providing back office services (known as Enterprise Resource Planning system) to affording front office and inter-organizational services (such as Customer Relationship Management and value-chain systems). Recently, ES vendors have begun exploring the new era of ES applications with Cloud ERP computing, web services (e.g., web 2.0 role in ES), high-performance analytics appliance (e.g., SAP HANA), and mobile applications and technologies to accelerate key business process, speed decision making, and better customers engagement for maximized revenue and productivity. Thus, such rapid technological development and its indispensable role in organizations warrant novel and forward looking papers, which propose and critically evaluate new ways of thinking about business processes, system development, and innovative enterprise architecture.

 

We welcome papers that adopt conceptual and empirical researches representing all ontological perspectives. Our intention is to provide a forum to bridging both researchers and educators with alike interests to (a) share their current work and plan future directions for the field, and (b) stimulate future collaborations in research.

 

Possible topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

•Business Intelligence and Knowledge Management in ES

•Business process management frameworks (e.g. COBIT, Six-sigma, PMI and SCOR)

•Business process management, adoption, governance and innovation

•Cloud ES, ERP II and Business Process Modeling Tools

•ES design, implementation, and maintenance in small, medium and large organizations

•ES benefits evaluation and realization

•ES upgrade and post-implementation challenges, issues and critical success factors

•ES software and vendor selection and adoption challenges and tips

•Extended ES, including SCM system and CRM system

•ES analytics, future role of big data, predictive and mobile computing

•Inter- and intra-organizational integration of ES and IT infrastructures

•Strategic alignment of business process management (e.g., value-based process management)
