AMCIS 2019 CFP - Mini-Track: Innovation and Business Process Management

https://amcis2019.aisconferences.org/submissions/track-descriptions/#toggle-...

Track: Organizational Transformation & Information Systems (SIGOSRA)

Cancun, Mexico August 15-17, 2019

Mini-Track Description:

Much of today’s innovation comes at the intersection of business practice, technology integration and alignment. It demands trans-disciplinary systems approaches that engage end-users, bridge silos, and extend organizational boundaries. Although the literature suggests that workers on the frontlines are often the source of solutions not readily evident at management levels, organizational transformation initiatives often fail to engage them in meaningful ways that capitalize on their insights. Appropriately engaged, end-users can contribute significantly to accurately explaining, documenting, and modelling their understanding of an organization, its business/organizational processes, and relationships with customers, effectively laying the groundwork for innovation partners, business process redesign and value co-creation. Little research is available on the role of end-users, appropriate approaches for engaging them, or the impact on work itself. This mini-track focuses on innovation and business process management to support organizational transformation, with a particular interest in the role of end-users and how to engage them in organizational innovation, and effective techniques for capturing and modelling business processes from an end-user perspective.

This mini-track welcomes all types of empirical and theoretical contributions including teaching cases.
