**************************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS AMCIS'2015 21st Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS) Mini-Track "Workarounds: the dark or the bright side of IT-enabled agility?"

August 13-15, 2015, Puerto Rico (_http://amcis2015.aisnet.org_ http://amcis2015.aisnet.org/)

Deadline for paper submissions: February 25, 2015 ****************************************************************************

TRACK DESCRIPTION IT-enabled agility enables organizations to quickly mitigate threats to existing competitive advantages and to seize opportunities for future competitive advantages. IT-enabled agility grounds in a flexible use of IT. Workarounds have been recognized as an important unit of analysis to study the effect and boundaries of IT-enabled agility. Workarounds are an interdisciplinary phenomenon and are being discussed in a variety of contexts such as management control systems, compliance, governance, and security. However, the relationship of workarounds and performance implications (e.g., innovation, flexibility, loss of control, facades of compliance) is still unclear. Important questions remains unanswered: How do managers anticipate the performance implications of workarounds? How do design variants of information systems prohibit or create opportunities for workarounds? How can organizations ensure flexibility while maintaining control? What are the short-term and long-term implications of workarounds?

The purpose of the mini-track is to provide an interdisciplinary forum for researchers from many contexts to share and discuss insights on workarounds. The mini-track seeks rigorous conceptual, empirical as well as design-oriented research and seeks both emergent research paper (research-in-progress) as well as full papers.

TOPICS OF INTEREST The objective of the workshop is to establish a state-of-the-art of the IS discipline’s understanding of workarounds. Topics for this mini-track include but are not limited to the following: • antecedents and consequences of workarounds • strategies for handling workarounds • deviations in the use of IT (e.g., shadow IT, non-compliance, security violations, rule-breaking, bootlegging, fraud, resistance, BYOD) • workaround motives • temporality and institutionalization of workarounds • workarounds as source of innovation • perception of workarounds (employee and management) • design of workaround-aware information systems • case studies on workarounds

IMPORTANT DATES January 5, 2015: Manuscript submissions for AMCIS 2015 begin February 25, 2015: Deadline for AMCIS manuscript submissions Tuesday, April 21, 2015: Authors notified about the disposition of their papers Tuesday, April 28, 2015: Deadline for camera-ready revisions May 5, 2015: Final decisions on AMCIS 2015 program are made
