CALL FOR PAPERS

18th Americas Conference on Information Systems 

Seattle, Washington, August 9-12, 2012 (http://amcis2012.aisnet.org/)

Track: Strategic Use of Information Technology

Mini-Track Title: IT/IS Evaluation & Performance Measurement

*************************************************

DESCRIPTION

Annual worldwide spending on information technology (IT) and information 
systems (IS) has been increasing for many years. For 2011, Gartner 
expects, for example, the total expenditure on IT to reach 2.5 trillion US 
dollars (Gartner 2010). Simultaneously, however, a greater number of IS 
failures are still emerging. A questionnaire-based survey, carried out in 
2006 in the USA, had indicated that only 62% of software projects were 
considered successful (Verner et al. 2006). The paradox of high 
investments and low productivity returns  has, therefore, remains a top 
concern for both practitioners and researchers (Brynjolfsson 1993). During 
the last two and a half decades, research on measuring IS success  has 
been a popular stream of research. A number of models have been proposed 
in attempts to define IS success ( DeLone and McLean 1992, 1993) and 
identify various causes of success or failure, mostly from an individual 
perspective. Complementary, the research stream on the business value of 
IT (e.g., Kohli and Grover 2008, Melville et al. 2004) has focused on the 
benefits from a broader – in most cases the organizational – perspective. 
Researchers and practitioners interested in submitting papers to this 
minitrack are encouraged to present their research into strategies, 
methodologies, tools, and stories that relate to the evaluation of IT/IS 
and IS/IT performance measurement.


SUGGESTED TOPICS

Possible paper topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
o Strategies, methodologies, tools, and case studies that relate to the 
evaluation of IT/IS and IS/IT performance measurement.

business value
o Measuring IS success/IT business value in global organizations and 
globally dispersed communities

other issues on IS success/IT business value
o Critical discussion of existing approaches
