======================CALL FOR PAPERS==============================

6th International Workshop on Information Value Management
(In conjunction with the 22nd International Conference on Enterprise
Information Systems - ICEIS 2020)
5 - 7 May, 2020 - Prague, Czech Republic

===================================================================

INTRODUCTION ============= Recent advances in technology such as Internet of Things, Analytics and Big
Data lead not only a technology revolution but also offer a magnitude of
business benefits. With the arrival of Industry 4.0, the Big Data created
within the Internet of Things is so enormous that it cannot be fully processed
in conventional databases. Thus new challenges in an area of Digitalisation and
Big Data have created opportunities to explore the information value using data
analytics. In order to drive the next horizon of operational effectiveness, Big
Data solutions are used to optimize business processes and reduce decision-making time etc.. Given the complex nature of the information, Big Data and IoT are demanded to address the interaction and flexibility issues among the new intelligent objects. By providing increasing access to Data and advanced capabilities to analyse large amounts of data we need to re-examine the value contribution of insights and impacts these technologies offer to business.

With this workshop we aim to provide an international forum that explores
various business benefits of data and information. Information creates not only
value in financial terms but also in terms of operational and strategic
advantages. Thus exploring the value of information and its management is
crucial to the success of world-leading organizations. The value of information
can be determined by its importance to and the impact information has on the
business operations such as decision making, strategy development or optimizing
supply chains. However, the issue of how to manage the value of information is
still challenging and research so far could only address limited aspects. It
has been argued that if information result in enhanced business value, the
focus needs to shift from project based cost/benefit analysis to managing the
overall value creation of information. Furthermore, over the last decade a move
from solely technical aspects to a combination of multiple contextual factors
such as technology, sector, organizational culture, and management style can be
observed. The information systems literature has consistently emphasized the
need for alignment of information systems with organizational goals and
strategies and its impact on organizational performance. One of the key
challenges and subject of continuous debate focuses on how to achieve, measure,
increase and manage information and the value it creates to organisations. It
has been concern to researchers and management for many years and the
difficulty in measuring less tangible benefits has been emphasized. With this
workshop we aim to go beyond traditional IT productivity and cost evaluations;
we view information as a crucial asset that creates value to an organizations,
and thus needs to be managed accordingly for optimal business value.

In this workshop, we aim to provide a platform for discussing approaches,
models, results and case studies or experience reports addressing a broad range
of issues related to Information Value Management. Research challenges include
how to determine the Value of Information and its impact on business
performance, managing Data and Information Quality, capturing and maintaining
Information Assets, and designing and improving Information Manufacture System.
Papers can include and discuss various research methods and can be based on
case studies, quantitative and quantitative methods, design science as well as
experimental and simulation. In addition practical oriented research and
experience reports are encouraged.
