CALL FOR PAPERS

 

for a track 7th Mediterianian Conference on Information Systems (MCIS)

Guimarães, Portugal - September 8-10, 2012

 

 

Business Intelligence and Information Management 

 

 

 

Description: 

Business Intelligence (BI) is a broad category for information systems which
support decision makers in providing business analysis on the basis of
internal and external data. It can be defined as a set of technologies,
applications, and processes for gathering, storing, accessing, and analyzing
data to help its users make better decisions. In short, Business
Intelligence is core to many businesses for implementing information
management and analytical process support and therefore contributes to an
organization’s competitiveness and sustainable development. Advanced BI
systems include unstructured data (e.g. large volumes of textual data),
include external data sources (web / BI 2.0 / BI from Cloud), and deal with
networking/agile environments, trigger (real-time) actions and enable data
mining techniques. BI is therefore concerned with the effective deployment
of organizational practices, processes, and technology to create wealth from
an organization’s intangible assets such as knowledge, skills, expertise and
capabilities.

 

Integrating and sharing data using Data Warehouses (DW) - as well as
transforming data into relevant information using BI - goes far beyond just
the tools and enabling technologies. Among these challenges are: developing
information management strategy, deriving appropriate responsibilities (e.g.
data governance) and processes, managing DW/BI financials (e.g. funding and
charging), communicating DW/BI potential to the business, and aligning DW/BI
demand and supply. The focus of this track is on acquisition, creation,
transfer, internalization, and utilization of knowledge and decision making
capital at the individual, group, organizational and societal levels. It
aims to promote theoretical design science and behavioural research in these
domains. We welcome regular full-length papers related to the enabling role
of information systems in decision making and information management. 

 

Suggested Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: 

 

*	Economics of and metrics for a BI based information management 
*	Strategy and critical success factors for adopting recent
developments in technology (e.g. in-memory databases, BI in the cloud)
*	Agile DW architectures that make use of the adoption of new
technologies 
*	Design, development, and use of BI applications 
*	Enablers and barriers of the organizational adoption of BI systems 
*	Acquisition, integration and adoption of BI in various
organizational and social contexts 
*	Management of decision makers and resources 
*	Impact of BI programs or applications on individual, group, and
organizational performance; on organizational strategy; and/or on
innovation. 
*	Role of IT-based knowledge and/or decision making resources for
competitive action 
*	Role of inter-organizational and social networks for creating
knowledge/intelligence 
*	Cross-cultural and cross-organisational issues affecting BI
architecture
*	BI architectures for enabling Data Mining and Decision Support based
on unstructured data (e.g. from the web or the web 2.0)
