CALL FOR PAPERS AMCIS'2015
21st Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS)
Mini-Track "Workarounds: the dark or the bright side of
IT-enabled
agility?"
August 13-15, 2015, Puerto Rico (http://amcis2015.aisnet.org)
Deadline for paper submissions: February 25, 2015
****************************************************************************
TRACK DESCRIPTION
IT-enabled agility enables organizations to quickly mitigate
threats to
existing competitive advantages and to seize opportunities for
future competitive
advantages. IT-enabled agility grounds in a flexible use of IT.
Workarounds
have been recognized as an important unit of analysis to study
the effect
and boundaries of IT-enabled agility. Workarounds are an
interdisciplinary
phenomenon and are being discussed in a variety of contexts such
as management
control systems, compliance, governance, and security. However,
the relationship
of workarounds and performance implications (e.g., innovation,
flexibility,
loss of control, facades of compliance) is still unclear.
Important questions
remains unanswered: How do managers anticipate the performance
implications
of workarounds? How do design variants of information systems
prohibit
or create opportunities for workarounds? How can organizations
ensure flexibility
while maintaining control? What are the short-term and long-term
implications
of workarounds?
The purpose of the mini-track is to provide an interdisciplinary
forum
for researchers from many contexts to share and discuss insights
on workarounds.
The mini-track seeks rigorous conceptual, empirical as well as
design-oriented
research and seeks both emergent research paper
(research-in-progress)
as well as full papers.
TOPICS OF INTEREST
The objective of the workshop is to establish a state-of-the-art
of the
IS discipline’s understanding of workarounds. Topics for this
mini-track
include but are not limited to the following:
• antecedents and consequences of workarounds
• strategies for handling workarounds
• deviations in the use of IT (e.g., shadow
IT, non-compliance, security violations, rule-breaking,
bootlegging, fraud,
resistance, BYOD)
• workaround motives
• temporality and institutionalization of workarounds
• workarounds as source of innovation
• perception of workarounds (employee and management)
• design of workaround-aware information systems
• case studies on workarounds
