CALL FOR PAPERS AMCIS 2021
27th Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS) Mini-Track
"Emerging IT Resources and Strategies for Digital Agility” August
9 - 13, 2021 (
https://amcis2021.aisconferences.org/)
****************************************************************************
TRACK DESCRIPTION The rapid advancement of information
technologies (IT) and the emerging trends of digital
transformation have changed the way today’s businesses operate.
These pressing needs have driven businesses to transform their
business practices and strategies by adopting and implementing
emerging digital initiatives, such as artificial intelligence
(AI), data analytics, edge computing, and internet of things
(IoT), to enhance their speed and capability to respond to the
market. As the variety of available information technologies for
digital transformation grows, businesses face challenges of
effectively leveraging these new IT resources and strategies to
sense and respond to market competition, changing demands, and
unexpected social and business crises (like the current pandemic).
Such new challenges have continued to evolve due to the growing
uncertainties in today’s business environments and market
competition.
This mini-track seeks studies that focus on the investigation of
the impact of cutting-edge information technologies and
corresponding organizational digital transformations for
organizational agility. Some fundamental questions in this area
include:
• What are the emerging IT resources and strategies to enhance
organizational agility for today’s highly digitalized market
competition?
• How should a business implement and utilize these emerging IT
resources and leverage their benefits? • How can the emerging IT
strategies and practices help transform a business into an agile
organization?
All studies including conceptual, qualitative, and quantitative
research investigating the relationship between emerging
information technologies and organizational agility are welcome.
