Background and Rational
=======================
The information systems literature has consistently emphasized the need
for alignment of information systems with organizational goals and
strategies and its impact on organizational performance. One of the key
challenges and subject of continuous debate focuses on how to achieve,
measure, increase and manage information and the value it creates to
organisations. It has been concern to researchers and management for 
many years and the difficulty in measuring less tangible benefits has 
been emphasized.

Information creates not only value in financial terms but also in terms 
of operational and strategic advantages. Thus exploring the value of
information and its management is crucial to the success of 
world-leading organizations. The value of information can be determined 
by its
importance to and the impact information has on the business operations
such as decision making, strategy development or optimizing supply 
chains. However, the issue of how to manage the value of information is 
still challenging and research so far could only address limited 
aspects. It has been argued that if information result in enhanced 
business value, the focus needs to shift from project based cost/benefit 
analysis to managing the overall value creation of information. 
Furthermore, over the last decade a move from solely technical aspects 
to a combination of multiple contextual factors such as technology, 
sector, organizational culture, and management style can be observed.

With this workshop we aim to go beyond traditional IT productivity and
cost evaluations; we view information as a crucial asset that creates
value to an organizations, and thus needs to be managed accordingly for
optimal business value. In this workshop, we aim to provide a platform 
for discussing approaches, models, results and case studies or 
experience reports addressing a broad range of issues related to 
Information Value Management. Research challenges include how to 
determine the Value of Information and its impact on business 
performance, managing Data and Information Quality, capturing and 
maintaining Information Assets, and designing and improving Information 
Manufacture System.

Papers can include and discuss various research methods and can be based
on case studies, quantitative and quantitative methods, design science 
as well as experimental and simulation. In addition practical oriented
research and experience reports are encouraged.
