SIG Advances in Sourcing workshop ICIS 2020

Note: Date and time to be confirmed based on the time-zones of participants.

Title: “Emerging Technologies and IS Sourcing” – paper development workshop aiming at Special Issue of Journal of Information Technology

The workshop will start with a keynote about the impact of COVID-19 on the sourcing marketplace, followed by the paper development session (approx. 3 hours) run by the guest editors of the special issue: Julia Kotlarsky, Ilan Oshri, Oliver Krancher and Rajiv Sabherwal.

If you are interested in participating in the paper development workshop and obtaining feedback on your drafts, submit an extended abstract of the paper that you are planning to develop for this special issue. Please see below an extract from the CFP, and guidance on preparing an extended abstract. ------ This special issue seeks to facilitate an empirical and theoretical re-examination of “IS sourcing” in the light of the current wave of emerging technologies.

Areas of interest to the special issue include but are not limited to:

§ Governance and control structures between client-supplier-advisory in emerging technology settings;

§ Sourcing decision making in emerging technology settings;

§ Ecosystem and platforms in emerging technology sourcing settings;

§ Contract management in emerging technology sourcing settings;

§ Full data lifecycle in emerging technologies and its implications for sourcing management;

§ Skills and capability development and retention in emerging technology sourcing settings;

§ Implications for innovations within the client-supplier-advisory eco-system;

§ Ethical and societal implications of such sourcing settings;

§ Impact of emerging technologies on client’s, supplier’s and advisory’s strategies, business models and capabilities (e.g., has offshoring slowed down/back sourcing accelerated? And what was the impact on captive centers’ services).

§ Implications of “crowdsourcing”, big data, analytics as well as machine/deep learning and artificial intelligence for the contemporary IS outsourcing.

We invite research papers that investigate issues relating to emerging technologies and IS sourcing. In particular, we take interest in issues concerning robotic process automation, big data, machine/deep learning and artificial intelligence and blockchain. Other technologies are less of interest for this special issue (contact the special issue editors if in doubt).

----- Guidelines for Extended Abstract Submission:

Please construct your submission as follows:

1. Introduction and clear motivation

2. Brief literature review and theoretical foundations

3. Empirical base of the study

4. Expected contribution Length of the extended abstract should not exceed 5 pages (single spacing)
