Track: Decision Sciences and Analytics (SIGDSA)
25th Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS), Aug.
15-17, 2019
Cancun, Quintana Roo, MX
This mini-track solicits papers using methods to critically
examine issues hampering the emergence and understanding of
financial information technology (FIT) in research and practice.
Authors are encouraged to identify and investigate three specific
problem areas in finance that affect modern organizations:
technology (“FinTech”), analytics and messy data. What are the
problems and solutions in these areas? What can researchers do to
move beyond the current state of research and practice concerning
these IS-relevant issues? In what ways do specified problems
impact important IS theories and streams, such as the Productivity
Paradox, IT Business Value, and Information Economics? What are
the pros and cons and comparative performance of any proposed
solutions? Such are the types of questions that may be explored in
this mini-track.
We are particularly interested in completed or emerging research
addressing the conference theme, New Frontiers in Digital
Convergence. Therefore, we hold at a premium papers advancing our
understanding of organizations engaged in digital convergence for
value creation. In particular, we are interested in information
technology firms since they engage in digital convergence out of
competitive necessity.
We encourage thought provoking papers utilizing the wealth of
archival data (e.g., Compustat and CRPS) accessible by many in the
IS research community. We especially value thought provoking
papers pushing known boundaries of the three mentioned FIT themes
(FinTech, analytics and messy data) in order to improve IS
practice. For these reasons, we are interested in high quality
papers that illuminates and addresses the effects of the following
issues (among others) on modern organizations:
FinTech
* Cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology
* Finance-Technology alignment
* Resistance to change
* Barriers to innovation
* Systems scalability
* FinTech Success
* Outsourcing FinTech
* Issues specific to FinTech Firms
* Compliance management
* FinTech application frontiers
Financial Analytics
* Workflows
* Queries
* Data storage
* Analytical efficiency and economics
* Analytical skills
* Data security and privacy
* User friendliness of big data
* Analytical procedures
Messy Financial Data
* non-normality
* missing data
* imputation
* inflated frequencies
* variables with low levels (i.e., binary)
* outliers
* negative denominators
* measurement bias
