Dear Colleagues,

 

We invite you to submit your work to the following minitrack:

 

HICSS-2020 MINITRACK: Business Intelligence, Business Analytics and Big Data: Innovation, Deployment and Management

Hawaii International Conference on Systems Science (HICSS-53)

January 7-10, 2020

Grand Wailea, Maui, Hawaii, USA

(hicss.hawaii.edu)

 

Recent developments and the evolution of data and technologies in the business intelligence (BI) and business analytics (BA) space have given rise to new opportunities for individuals, organizations and society. As a result of rapid digital transformation, organizations are facing various challenges, covering the whole life cycle of BI/BA/big data applications and projects. Emerging trends such as the Internet of Things (IoT), machine learning and cognitive analytics urge companies to identify new use cases, applications and business models to take advantage of (big) data and analytics. To close the gap between potential and real benefits of BI/BA/big data, more research on their deployment is needed in terms of artifacts such as methods, reference architectures, etc. as well as theoretical and conceptual underpinnings. Finally, operations and continuous enhancement of BI/BA/big data applications encompass management tasks that consider strategic, economic, legal and ethical issues.

 

This minitrack, now in its 30th year, is the longest running HICSS minitrack related to business intelligence, business analytics and more recently big data that continues to rise in relevance to both academia and practice. Its main focus remains on the organizational issues of BI/BA and big data implementations, rather than the data science and IT perspectives. This particular focus, as well as its long history of research embedded in Decision Support Systems and other research predecessors of contemporary BI/A, creates a minitrack with a rich comprehensive view of organizational issues.

 

This minitrack will accept papers focused on the business and organizational aspects of business intelligence, business analytics and big data as well as challenges related to BI/BA/big data workforce including their education and ongoing professional development. Contributions from the fields of theory building, design research (methods and models), action research as well as analyses of existing or innovative applications are welcome. We invite papers that investigate topics which include, but are not limited to, the following:
