** Keynote Speaker (confirmed):*
Professor Susan Williams, University of Koblenz, Germany
** Conference background and goals*
Computer based information systems (IS) have changed the lives of people, organizations, countries and regions in a way never before seen in human history. The revolution IS created was based on unprecedented availability of and access to information. Information became the core competitive advantage in organizations and investment in IS has increased exponentially. According to the International Data Corporation 2007 report (IDC, 2008), the global software industry overtook the hardware industry for the first time in 2006, by incorporating 52 per cent of the entire information technology (IT) industry. According to the same source, in 2007 the global software market was valued at 229,946 billion US dollars and consequently the IS industry has become one of the most important business sectors in the world market today.
Nevertheless and despite the apparent success story, the IS industry has been plagued by shadows of failure and inefficiency since its early days. Most of the research done since the 80s has therefore focused on the design and development of Software, aiming at meeting well defined and precise requirements, hopefully resulting from participative processes of negotiation with IS users and stakeholders. Nonetheless, failure still persists. Deterministic views based on concepts of engineering rather than socio-technical approaches, neglected to consider that organizations are human activity systems, constantly evolving and difficult to predict. The IADIS Information Systems Post-implementation and Change Management Conference (ISPCM 2013) aims to provide a forum for the discussion of IS in such a socio-technological perspective. It aims to address the issues related to use, exploitation, maintenance of IS in organizations, focusing on the post-implementation phase of the IS life-cycle. It aims at discussing the impacts and effects of the introduction of new technological artifacts in human activity systems and exploring the much need management of these processes. The conference aims to discuss these issues in the context of IS professional practice, research and teaching.
