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

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
