We kindly invite you to submit your papers to the SCUIT mini-track: IT-Enabled Information Management Capability (IMC)

Track Description: With the increasing success of strategic and competitive information systems in generating business value and gaining competitive advantage, businesses are more and more interested in the successful design, development, deployment, and use of these systems. Submissions to the Strategic and Competitive Use of Information Technology (SCUIT) track may include complete papers and research-in- progress (ERF), and can be conceptual, theoretical, design, empirical, or case studies. Any research that focuses on the strategic and competitive use of IT/IS will find a home in this track.

Mini-track Description: While IT is a relevant factor in firm success, firms' ability to synthesize information and knowledge is becoming of greater salience in shaping firm performance and innovation. In the present era of breakthroughs in communication, cognitive, and computing capabilities of IT systems, firms must explore avenues for gaining strategic advantage through improved information management. IT-enabled Information Management Capability (IMC) enables firms to respond to rapidly changing market needs, provides resourceful information for better decision making, facilitates flexibility to fulfill more customers' needs without incurring extra cost, and provides a technological platform for expanding the business. The strategic use of information has already enabled firms such as Amazon, Alibaba, and Facebook to implement new business models, which have deeply impacted the structures of their industries. However, the abundance of data, privacy regulations, and security threa ts are now compelling firms to rethink how to best utilize IMC.

Call for Papers: This mini-track solicits research manuscripts that examine the link between IT-enabled capabilities, firm performance, innovation, and sustainability. Articles investigating the ethical and regulatory considerations in the utilization of modern IT capabilities are also sought. Studies at the firm, individual, team, or industry levels are welcomed. Studies submitted to this track should explore how modern IT-enabled capabilities influence firm performance, innovation, and can provide a new perspective of the underlying mechanisms through which these capabilities enhance firm performance and innovation. Policy considerations in the deployment of modern IT capabilities and their impact on firm's performance could also be highlighted.
