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

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:

Katja Bley (Technische Universität Dresden)

Maria Fay (Universität Liechtenstein)
