================================================================ 20th Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS)
Track: Data Quality and Information Quality
Minitrack: DATA AND INFORMATION QUALITY IN DECISION MAKING
Savannah, GA August 7-10, 2014 http://amcis2014.aisnet.org/ ================================================================
Models of decision making, mainly normative models of decision making, point to the critical role of information in this process. For instance, Herbert Simons classic model of decision making (intelligence, design, choice [Simon, 1977]) emphasizes the essential role that information has through its initial decision phase, intelligence, which consists of a scan of the environment that aims to identify new problems or opportunities. Evidently, information also has important role in the design of possible avenues of action: the design phase involves intelligence as well, e.g., of materials, techniques, and/or processes [Boland and Collopy, 2004]. Similarly, the choice of a preferred alternative involves intelligence of the current conditions that affect each alternative.
This minitrack centers on the relationship between the quality of the information that is employed in the decision-making process on one hand, and, on the other hand, the product of the decision, other aspects of the decision process, the consequences of the decision, and/or its utility and value. The ultimate goal of this research is to produce solutions that bring under control and mitigate the negative effects of poor information quality, i.e., improve decisions both subjectively and objectively.
Papers in this minitrack will aim to: + Extend the existing understanding of the above relationships in a chosen setting + Propose a new artifact(s) (e.g., a concept, model, method, system implementation)that promises a new solution + Examine the value of a previously proposed artifact + Refine a previously proposed artifact
We welcome original research papers regardless of decision domain, decision process, or research methodology. Since related problems have been studied in numerous problem domains and diverse scientific disciplines, we encourage authors to explore this rich literature and benefit from it.
