Call for papers: Business Analytics, Business Intelligence and Big Data [A Minitrack of the Organizational Systems and Technology Track]

HICSS-46 - January 7-10, 2013 - Grand Wailea, Maui Island

Submission date: June 15th 2012

The provision of the right data with appropriate quality according to the needs of decision makers or automated processes is crucial for successful operations of companies and government agencies. Management Information Systems, Decision Support Systems, Executive Information Systems, interactive online analysis (OLAP), data mining, dashboards and recently map reduce are examples for the historic advancement of business analytics / business intelligence concepts for the front-end, while databases, data warehousing and recently ‘big data’ are examples for the development of the underlying technical infrastructure concepts. The smart combination of task-oriented front-end innovations and technology-driven infrastructure innovations allows for enhanced decision speed, more efficient extracting, cleaning, and aggregating data from source systems, maintaining and analyzing larger data sets, and demand-oriented access to data. From an information systems perspective, business analytics, business intelligence and ‘big data’ constitute a dynamic, fascinating and highly relevant field of research. This includes managerial considerations (BI strategy, BI organization and governance, BI value, data quality management, etc.), process-centric business intelligence, and inter-organizational aspects.

This minitrack will accept papers with a managerial, an economic, a methodological or a technical perspective on the above topics. Contributions from the fields of theory building, design research (methods and models), action research as well as analyses of existing or innovative applications are welcome.
