=================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS FOR A SPECIAL ISSUE ON: =================================================================== MANAGEMENT AND ORGANIZATIONAL ISSUES FOR DECISION MAKING SUPPORT SYSTEMS: FOUNDATIONS, STUDY CASES AND LEARNED LESSONS " -------------------------------------------------------------------- JOURNAL: INFORMATION RESOURCES MANAGEMENT JOURNAL (IRMJ) http://www.idea-group.com/journals/details.asp?id=199 -------------------------------------------------------------------- I. RATIONALITY.
Decision Making Support Systems (DMSS), have evolved or have been embedded, from classic DSS, EIS and ES/KBS, to or into Intelligent Systems, Web-DSS, OLAP&DW&DM systems, KMS and Enterprise Information and Decision Portals. All of them have offered organizational and individual benefits, such as improved organizational performance, improved decision quality, improved communication, enhanced mental models, amplified analytical skills of decision-makers, and reduced decision time frames. However, despite the availability of emergent IS&IT architectures in the market, successful DMSS are not immediate. Management and organizational barriers in addition to technological issues, must be overcome in order to have successful full implementations of DMSS. For this reason, we seek for articles that report scientific evidences of "Management and Organizational Issues for DMSS: Foundations, Study Cases and Learned Lessons". --------------------------------------------------------------------------- II. MISSION AND AIMS.
This Special Issue's mission is to present the core and state of the art knowledge about the theory and application of management and organizational issues relevant to achieve successful implementations of Decision-Making Support Systems (DMSS) in organizations. The main aims are:
(1) to generate a compendium of quality theoretical and applied papers on management and organizational issues in DMSS
(2) to help diffuse scarce knowledge about effective methods and strategies for successfully designing, developing, implementing, and evaluating DMSS, and
(3) to create an awareness among academicians and practitioners about the relevance of DMSS in the current complex and dynamic management environment.
-------------------------------------------------------------------- III. TOPICS SOUGHT. Topics of interest include, but not limited to:
* Project management of DMSS * DMSS implementation frameworks and models * DMSS development methodologies * Strategies for change-resistance management * Implementation of critical success factors * Lessons learned from failures or successful implementations of DMSS projects * Experiences in development of large-scale projects of DMSS.
-------------------------------------------------------------------- IV. INSTRUCTIONS.
The suggested length for each manuscript is 20-25 double-spaced typed pages, including graphs, tables, figures, and references. Original papers should be written to conform with the Information Resources Management Journal style guidelines document, which is available upon request. Papers will be evaluated using IRMJ procedures based on a double round blind review made by experts in the field. Please send all submissions electronically to: mmorauaa@securenym.net with copy to forgionn@umbc.edu and jgupta@bsu.edu
