*Track Description*
Technological advancements have contributed to the generation of
massive amounts of data that unleash huge opportunities not only
for organizations but also for society. The application of
business analytics, business intelligence, and big data approaches
enables us to integrate, analyse, visualize, and ultimately
understand and improve the complex processes that make up our
digitized world. Such approaches are enablers for knowledge
discovery transforming societies and organizations. Over the past
few years, there has been enthusiasm around business analytics as
organizations explore how they can leverage their data to create
and maintain a competitive advantage. Improved communication, more
sustainable processes, as well as new business models are examples
for the innovative use of disparate data sources (such as mobile,
the Internet of Things, streaming data or social media data).
In addition to the potential of transforming businesses, business
analytics, business intelligence and big data can contribute to
better human health and well-being, improved public services, and
better support of environmental and climate causes. The
datafication of our society can help the drive towards solutions
that safeguard and promote human values by creating empowered
societies through the use of data, building digital bridges, and
maintaining sustainable and inclusive societies among others.
Motivated by the explosion of interest in these emerging fields,
the present track aims to promote multidisciplinary contributions
dealing with socio-economic, organizational, technological,
cultural, and societal perspectives. We call for submissions based
on quantitative and qualitative work, theoretical research, design
research, action research, or behavioral research. Furthermore, we
encourage papers with outcomes that demonstrate the organizational

capitalizing competence. In particular, we welcome papers that

analytics and big data is impacting fundamental human values and
society at a larger scale. Please note that papers solely dealing
