Track Description:
The abundance of information available to today's managers makes it essential to efficiently represent, filter, and present information for effective decision making. This track aims to attract novel research on technologies, applications, and processes for gathering, storing, accessing, and analyzing data, information and knowledge for informed managerial decisions and improved organizational performance. In addition to the plethora of applications that are already available for data mining and business intelligence, newer technologies such as web 2.0 and social networking environments bring in novel managerial and technical challenges related to analyzing large volumes of data. Knowledge management also encompasses knowledge that exists in unstructured forms and that intersects with technology, processes and people. The result is not only technical, but also business and management challenges that include economic, strategic, and behavioral issues. This research track aims to promote forward- thinking research in theoretical, design science, and behavioral aspects of BI/KM/DSS/Analytics.
This track has consistently taken place in the AMCIS program with varying combinations of BI/KM related topics such as data warehousing, text mining and data visualization. The track has evolved over time as there are changes in the available technologies and related issues in the domain. The AMCIS 2011 track included the following mini-tracks: . Web Intelligence . Harnessing Social Media for Business Intelligence . Business Intelligence for Organizational Performance Measurement and Improvement . Master Data Management: Strategies, Concepts and Cases . Building Intelligent IT Processes: Definition, Development and Control . Web, Text, and Data mining . Knowledge Management Value, Success and Performance Measurements . Design, operations, and consolidation of BI applications . Spatial Business Intelligence, Decision Support, and Knowledge Management . Next Generation Data Warehousing: Transitioning to the Era of Advanced Analytics . Knowledge Management (KM) and Work Group Collaboration
In addition, we are soliciting mini-tracks in topics including, but not limited to: . DSS Design Methodologies and Approaches . Specifications for Detail and Precision in DSS Models . Decision Support Model Formulation . DSS Model Management in Web and Distributed Computing Environments . Evaluation of DSS Designs . Technical Antecedents of DSS Acceptance and Use .
