AMCIS 2015 CFP: Mini-Track: Resilient Handling of Extreme Events in End-User Environments

Track: End-User Information Systems, Innovation, and Organizational Change (SIG-OSRA)

Puerto Rico, August 13-15, 2015

The ubiquity of information technology (IT) innovations, like Web 2.0 and social media, has led to the creation of new ways of doing business, including new organizational forms and new forms of value creation. In particular, the end user has become an integral part of many organizations’ innovation and efficiency models. Yet the presence of end users introduces both new risks and new ways of dealing with risks. These risks may take the form of extreme events such as natural disasters (earthquakes), terrorist attacks, or economic crises, or smaller events (loss of organizational assets). Just as the inclusion of end users in innovation has given organizations and entrepreneurs a competitive advantage, the ability to handle extreme events is key to maintaining advantages – as well as to the sustainability of the organization itself. Indeed, the end user itself may be a key resource in handing or predicting an extreme event.

In order to gain rich insight into and provide comprehensive means for the outlined subject we seek to bring together researchers from different fields such as business information systems, computer science, software engineering, CSCW, extreme events research, information visualization, management research, organization theory etc. Both conceptual and empirical works are welcome and will be considered for this mini-track.

Suggested Topics

·Theories, models, approaches and concepts of resilient handling of extreme events in end-user environments

·Cooperation, coordination and communication during extreme events

·Emergent and evolving behavior during extreme events between different actors in ecosystems

·Case studies on extreme events in in end-user environments

·Resilient IT infrastructures

·Extensions to IT management methods in order to comprise resilient handling of extreme events.

·Role and possibilities of new technologies and innovations for handling extreme events.

·Communicative visualization approaches comprising complex extreme events, resilient handling of extreme events, reporting/modeling on different levels of granularity

·Evaluations of advantage/disadvantage of world-wide standardization and centralization efforts

·Cultural issues in handling extreme events in end-user environments

·Research methods and theories suitable for guiding research on extreme events in end-user environments
