1st Call for Papers
28th European Conference on Information Systems (ECIS 2020)
June 15th - 17th 2020 / Marrakesh, Morocco
Track: Business Analytics and Big Data
(
https://ecis2020.ma/ecis-2020-tracks/)
*Track Description*
Applications benefitting from data, information, and knowledge
constitute the foundation for the datafication of our society
reshaping the nature of information systems. While the
datafication can help the drive towards a sustainable and
inclusive future enabling Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity in a
Digitizing World, the use of data can also lead to threats to our
freedoms, to fairness, and to community. Consequently, ethical
consideration in novel and advanced approaches for collecting,
storing, managing, and analyzing data are required and challenge
practitioners and academia as more and more data (big data)
becomes available. This trend, as well as digitalization in
general, fosters the assimilation and further development of
business intelligence and business analytics approaches within
organizations and across various industries. In addition,
governments and non-profit organizations can benefit from new
opportunities raised by analytical applications and technologies.
Many scholars are now emphasizing the importance of business
analytics and big data approaches as well as information assets
for efficient and effective decision support, management, and
leadership. Business analytics is essential for an organization’s
daily business, directly influencing firm performance and business
development in a global world. The application of business
analytics and big data approaches enables us to integrate,
analyze, visualize, and ultimately understand and improve the
complex processes that make up our digitized world. Such
approaches are enablers for knowledge discovery benefitting
societies, organizations, and individuals leading to smart
technologies. 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). Furthermore, the
availability of seemingly endless computing and cheaper storage
capabilities available through cloud computing enables new
opportunities in providing a global gateway to information as a
service.
Over the past few years, there has much enthusiasm around business
analytics as organizations explore how they can leverage their
data to create and maintain a competitive advantage. As such,
today’s companies try to collect and process as much data as
possible, with the aim of improving their decision-making
processes. Nevertheless, while there is some empirical evidence
that business analytics can create value, the thesis that it leads
to performance gains requires deeper analysis. To date, there is
limited understanding of how organizations need to change to
embrace these technological innovations, and the business shifts
they entail. As big data tools and applications diffuse into the
organizational fabric, they will inevitably change long-standing
ideas about decision making, management practices, and most
importantly competitive strategy formulation.
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. Furthermore, outcomes that
demonstrate critical success factors on the organizational impact
of business analytics and big data in terms of competitive
performance, innovativeness, increased agility, and market
capitalizing competence are encouraged. We welcome submissions
based on quantitative and qualitative work, theoretical research,
design research, action research, or behavioral research.
We are especially interested in papers that discuss and expand our
understanding of how digital technologies are influencing and
impacting fundamental human values, whether at the individual, the
organization and/or the societal level. Suggested topics include,
but are not limited to:
* The role of business intelligence, business analytics, and big
data for liberty, equality, and fraternity in a digitizing world
* Strategic and change management issues stemming from business
analytics and big data
* Business value and success of business analytics and big data
* Emerging and changing concepts and methodologies for business
analytics and big data
* Use cases and innovative applications for business analytics and
big data
* Adoption, routinization, maturity, and use of business analytics
and big data
* Data privacy, data quality, and data governance
* Opportunities and challenges of sharing data and of open data
* Big-data-driven business model innovation and the digital
ecosystem big data
* Data visualization, visual analytics
* Business analytics in the cloud, business analytics as a service
* Data, text and social media analytics for business analytics
* Process mining and the benefits of robotic process automation
* Digital manufacturing and the Internet of Things
* Operational, real-time, or event-driven business analytics
*Special Issue*
Following ECIS 2020, selected papers will be invited to submit a
considerably enhanced and extended revision of the paper
reflecting the discussion at ECIS to the Journal of Business
Analytics (JBA). JBA encourages empirical papers focusing on real
problems using real data to provide innovative methodological
contributions. JBA’s current issue is available at
https://www.tandfonline.com/toc/tjba20/current.
