CALL FOR PAPERS
18th Americas Conference on Information Systems
Seattle, Washington, August 9-12, 2012 (http://amcis2012.aisnet.org/)
Track: Strategic Use of Information Technology
Mini-Track Title: IT/IS Evaluation & Performance Measurement
*************************************************
DESCRIPTION
Annual worldwide spending on information technology (IT) and information systems (IS) has been increasing for many years. For 2011, Gartner expects, for example, the total expenditure on IT to reach 2.5 trillion US dollars (Gartner 2010). Simultaneously, however, a greater number of IS failures are still emerging. A questionnaire-based survey, carried out in 2006 in the USA, had indicated that only 62% of software projects were considered successful (Verner et al. 2006). The paradox of high investments and low productivity returns has, 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 has been a popular stream of research. A number of models have been proposed in attempts to define IS success ( DeLone and McLean 1992, 1993) and identify various causes of success or failure, mostly from an individual perspective. Complementary, the research stream on the business value of IT (e.g., Kohli and Grover 2008, Melville et al. 2004) has focused on the benefits from a broader â?? in most cases the organizational â?? perspective. Researchers and practitioners interested in submitting papers to this minitrack are encouraged to present their research into strategies, methodologies, tools, and stories that relate to the evaluation of IT/IS and IS/IT performance measurement.
SUGGESTED TOPICS
Possible paper topics include, but are not limited to, the following: o Strategies, methodologies, tools, and case studies that relate to the evaluation of IT/IS and IS/IT performance measurement. o Frameworks and models for assessing IS success/effectiveness and IT business value o Measuring IS success/IT business value in global organizations and globally dispersed communities o Impact of strategic, organizational, process-related, cultural, and other issues on IS success/IT business value o Critical discussion of existing approaches o IS success factors and key performance indicators o Qualitative and quantitative evaluation techniques o Benefits management/measurement o Benchmarking initiatives comparing IS across different organizations and industries o Empirical studies are also solicited that evaluate specific types of IS such as: - Customer Relationship Management Systems - Project (Portfolio) Management Systems - Knowledge Management Systems - Decision Support Systems - Collaborative Systems - Enterprise Systems - IT service management frameworks o Case studies of IS success and performance evaluation
