CFP for the following tracks:

Information Technology Management in Europe

TRACK CHAIR:

Dr. Kalle Kangas Email: kalle.kangas@tukkk.fi mailto:kalle.kangas@tukkk.fi , kalle.kangas@pori.tut.fi mailto:kalle.kangas@pori.tut.fi

This track is intended to explore the opportunities that information and communication technologies offer in changing the way that organisations operate within Europe. Historically the potential has not been fully realised due to a variety of inhibiting factors. The recommended topics recognise both the need to operate as an integrated entity in Europe and the national forces that drive local responsiveness. Full CFP can be found at: http://www.tukkk.fi/~kkangas

Information Technology in Ex-Communist & Transition Countries

TRACK CHAIR:

Dr. Kalle Kangas Email: kalle.kangas@tukkk.fi mailto:kalle.kangas@tukkk.fi, kalle.kangas@pori.tut.fi mailto:kalle.kangas@pori.tut.fi

The massive amount of foreign direct investments to the Eastern Central-European and Baltic countries enabling novel technology and concepts of its use have helped those countries to reach a substantial level of IT knowledge already. However, this is not the case in the resource-rich Russia or in any of its eastern ex-Soviet neighbors. Although there might have been enough money to buy the technology, nobody has lent the helping hand to teach how to use it profitably. Full CFP can be found at: http://www.tukkk.fi/~kkangas

3) Mobile Computing & Commerce

TRACK CHAIR:

Jussi Puhakainen Email: jussi.puhakainen@tukkk.fi mailto:jussi.puhakainen@tukkk.fi

TRACK DESCRIPTION:

The increasing pressure of growing global competition, customer and shareholder demands, and the drastic evolution of digital technologies force companies into re-thinking their current business assumptions, practices, and processes. Internet-based Electronic Commerce (EC) and mobile business (MB) offer many possibilities to face these challenges, in business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-consumer (B2C) transactions and interactions. Also consumer-to-consumer (C2C) and consumer-to-business (C2B) solutions have emerged in both EC and MB, challenging traditional ways of doing business. Digital networks allow also new opportunities for mass customizing information, services and products. Totally new products and services are emerging as well as new ways of dealing with customers. This track will discuss the effects of EC and MB have on products, services, interacting with customers, intra-company processes as well as management and development of EC and MB. Full CFP can be found at: http://www.uncg.edu/bae/isom/gitma/gitma3.htm

With Best Regards,

Kalle Kangas and Jussi Puhakainen
