Dear colleagues,
As part of AMCIS 2020 in Salt Lake City, Utah, we would like to
invite you to submit your research to the Decision Agility and
Market Adaptation mini-track, within the Digital Agility track.
Mini-track description:
Agile organizations are able to sense market discontinuities and
respond to significant shifts in core technical knowledge. The
primacy of organizational agility to IT management practice and
scholarly work is reflected in dynamic capabilities, information
processing, and other theoretical frameworks. As incumbent and new
organizations seek to become more agile, a poorly understood
question pertains to the interface between sensing and responding.
There is likely a time delay between sensing and responding and a
tension underlying the use of scarce resources such as IT. While
sense and response capabilities are a feature of agile
organizations, the presence of these capabilities does not answer
the question of how long it takes for a firm to sense and respond
to new market threats or opportunities. When should IT managers
plan and when should they adopt a more dynamic, adaptive approach
to IT-related decisions? So far, empirical research on
decision-making agility remains scarce.
This mini-track welcomes both conceptual and empirical submissions
using novel theories and different methods that explore pressing
issues around decision-making agility and adaptation to market
change. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to the
following:
* Data analytics and agile decision making
* Technological and organizational barriers to decision-making
agility
* Negative impacts of partial or incomplete decision-making
agility
* Rapid consensus building around markets threats and
opportunities
* Influence of organizational inertia and risk aversion on
decision-making agility
* Cloud technologies and sensing agility
* Decision-making agility, IT leadership, and interpersonal
influences
* Sensing overload versus incomplete sensing
* Consensus building and decision-making agility
* Decision making tools
* Approaches to IT agility that seek to mitigate, cope with or
capitalize on uncertainty
* Firm performance and decision-making agility
