AMCIS 2019 Call for Papers
Strategic Impact of Digitized Products
Dear Colleagues,
We would like to draw your attention to our minitrack at the 25th Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS) Aug. 15-17, 2019 in Cancún, Mexico.
With the increasing success of strategic and competitive information systems in generating business value and gaining competitive advantage, companies are more and more interested in the successful design, development, deployment, and use of these systems. By focusing on the transformation of products and services in the age of digitalization, we offer researchers and practitioners from different research areas the opportunity to position their papers and present their research on the respective topic. Precise information is listed below.
We are looking forward to minitrack submissions as well as exciting and enriching discussions at the conference with you!
Best regards
Katja Bley & Maria Fay

Deadline: March 1, 2019, 10:00am PST (https://amcis2019.aisconferences.org/submissions/types-of-submissions/)
Track: Strategic and Competitive Use of Information Technology (SCUIT)
Minitrack:
Strategic Impact of Digitized Products
The phenomenon of digital transformation of business models, processes, and products has been keeping companies and economies in a constant transition over the last years. In the course of this rapid internal and external transformation, digitized products and services are becoming increasingly important to achieve competitive advantage. A combination of physical products with hardware and software components allows for a new level of control over those products, and for further actions which in turn form the foundation for new digital services. Although this development is at its hype, highly relevant and future-oriented, individual scientific tendencies in the field are only slowly being explored. There is a strong need for additional research investigating what strategic impact digitized products and services firms have on businesses, how to achieve and maximize it, and finally how to uncover opportunities as well as challenges offered by digitized products and services.
The minitrack focuses on full papers and research-in-progress which can be conceptual, theoretical, design, empirical or case studies and investigate issues such as (but not limited to):
- Competitive benefits of big data analysis, smart products, and services
- The shift of value from physical artifacts to smart products
- Issues around IoT, CPS and their implementation in smart products and services
- Strategic business model transformation (service or product oriented)
- Digital innovation and achievement of competitive advantage
- Identification of strategic impact of digitizing products and services
- Challenges/Opportunities/Critical Success Factors
Minitrack Chairs:
