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.
