Dear colleagues,

As part of AMCIS 2020 in Salt Lake City, Utah, we would like to invite you to submit your research to the Decision Agility and Market Adaptation mini-track, within the Digital Agility track.

Mini-track description: Agile organizations are able to sense market discontinuities and respond to significant shifts in core technical knowledge. The primacy of organizational agility to IT management practice and scholarly work is reflected in dynamic capabilities, information processing, and other theoretical frameworks. As incumbent and new organizations seek to become more agile, a poorly understood question pertains to the interface between sensing and responding. There is likely a time delay between sensing and responding and a tension underlying the use of scarce resources such as IT. While sense and response capabilities are a feature of agile organizations, the presence of these capabilities does not answer the question of how long it takes for a firm to sense and respond to new market threats or opportunities. When should IT managers plan and when should they adopt a more dynamic, adaptive approach to IT-related decisions? So far, empirical research on decision-making agility remains scarce.

This mini-track welcomes both conceptual and empirical submissions using novel theories and different methods that explore pressing issues around decision-making agility and adaptation to market change. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to the following:

* Data analytics and agile decision making * Technological and organizational barriers to decision-making agility * Negative impacts of partial or incomplete decision-making agility * Rapid consensus building around markets threats and opportunities * Influence of organizational inertia and risk aversion on decision-making agility * Cloud technologies and sensing agility * Decision-making agility, IT leadership, and interpersonal influences * Sensing overload versus incomplete sensing * Consensus building and decision-making agility * Decision making tools * Approaches to IT agility that seek to mitigate, cope with or capitalize on uncertainty * Firm performance and decision-making agility
