Description

Applications to capture, store, and modify information may help
organizations to access the information but with globalization and
increasing needs of organizations, single applications do not address the
need for right information at the right time in the right place.  Enterprise
Systems (ES) have, therefore, been developed as a strategic tool in order
to address the need to provide real time, accurate data, and integration
among all functional areas within an organization.  ES includes systems
such as enterprise resource planning, supply chain management, supplier and
customer relationship management.  ES are different from traditional
information systems because of their complex structures and their
intertwined nature with people and organizational processes.

Strategies have provided advantage to those players who used competitive
actions, policies or plans along with new tools, and technologies to
achieve their objectives.  Studies reveal ES may bring in many tangible and
intangible benefits to organizations including data integration, business
functions support, cost reduction, customer satisfaction, productivity
improvement, and better business performance.  However, reaping benefits
from enterprise systems proved to be an elusive goal.

Generally, enterprise systems have a direct impact on the business
processes.  These integrated applications change business plans and
objectives; therefore by definition, ES have a potential for strategic
impact for organizational performance and competitiveness.  Most recent
trends and applications of ES are cloud migration and mobile use.  In this
context, this mini-track solicits empirical, theoretical and case based
research studies that investigate the strategic and competitive use of
enterprise systems to explain their role on organizational and business
performance.
  Suggested Topics

The mini track solicits research studies that seek to explore the business
benefits of enterprise systems through strategic use. Suggested topics
include, but not limited to:

·         Strategic use of mobile technologies in enterprise applications

·         Cloud computing and cloud migration of enterprise systems for
strategic use

·         Strategic use of enterprise systems

·         Alignment between enterprise systems and business strategies

·         Use of enterprise systems toward increasing business performance

·         Usage of enterprise systems toward gaining strategic advantage
