Mini-Track: IT-Enabled Information Management Capability (IMC)
Track: Strategic and Competitive Uses of IT (SCUIT)
Paper submission deadline: 5:00 PM MST February 28, 2020
https://amcis2020.aisconferences.org/submissions/call-for-papers/
We kindly invite you to submit your papers to the SCUIT
mini-track: IT-Enabled Information Management Capability (IMC)
Track Description: With the increasing success of strategic and
competitive information systems in generating business value and
gaining competitive advantage, businesses are more and more
interested in the successful design, development, deployment, and
use of these systems. Submissions to the Strategic and Competitive
Use of Information Technology (SCUIT) track may include complete
papers and research-in- progress (ERF), and can be conceptual,
theoretical, design, empirical, or case studies. Any research that
focuses on the strategic and competitive use of IT/IS will find a
home in this track.
Mini-track Description: While IT is a relevant factor in firm
success, firms' ability to synthesize information and knowledge is
becoming of greater salience in shaping firm performance and
innovation. In the present era of breakthroughs in communication,
cognitive, and computing capabilities of IT systems, firms must
explore avenues for gaining strategic advantage through improved
information management. IT-enabled Information Management
Capability (IMC) enables firms to respond to rapidly changing
market needs, provides resourceful information for better decision
making, facilitates flexibility to fulfill more customers' needs
without incurring extra cost, and provides a technological
platform for expanding the business. The strategic use of
information has already enabled firms such as Amazon, Alibaba, and
Facebook to implement new business models, which have deeply
impacted the structures of their industries. However, the
abundance of data, privacy regulations, and security threa
ts are now compelling firms to rethink how to best utilize IMC.
Call for Papers: This mini-track solicits research manuscripts
that examine the link between IT-enabled capabilities, firm
performance, innovation, and sustainability. Articles
investigating the ethical and regulatory considerations in the
utilization of modern IT capabilities are also sought. Studies at
the firm, individual, team, or industry levels are welcomed.
Studies submitted to this track should explore how modern
IT-enabled capabilities influence firm performance, innovation,
and can provide a new perspective of the underlying mechanisms
through which these capabilities enhance firm performance and
innovation. Policy considerations in the deployment of modern IT
capabilities and their impact on firm's performance could also be
highlighted.
