Call for Minitrack Papers: Information Issues in Supply Chain and in Service System Design

(Part of the Organizational Systems and Technology Track, HICSS 46)

 

We invite you to submit papers for the Information Issues in Supply Chain and in Service System Design minitrack at HICSS, January 7-10, 2013. The conference will be held on Maui, Hawaii.

 

We invite state-of-art empirical, theoretical, experimental, and simulation research along with rigorous case studies exploring the increasing complex roles that information systems now play in the design of successful operations at many supply chain and service systems. We are also soliciting comprehensive reviews of relevant research, and applications highlighting the use of new technologies, methods, and techniques. In particular, we want to systematically explore the complex interplay between business process designs, technology, organizational architectures, and information sharing. There is a growing body of research within the economics, marketing, operations management, information systems, and healthcare communities which are starting to address those issues. We expect to see applications analyzing enterprise resource allocation, call center management, capacity planning, revenue management, scheduling, inventory management, and global coordination of supply chains, logistical operations, dynamic pricing, contingent contracting, and the impact of information asymmetry across market agents. Thus the track is open to a wide range of content areas that lend themselves to the analysis of information issues in Supply Chain and Service System Design.

 

Selected papers from the minitrack will be fast tracked to the special issue of DSS.
