 Business Intelligence, Analytics, & Knowledge Management Track
(SIGDSS<http://ais.site-ym.com/members/group_content_view.asp?group=89755&id=161287>
) AMCIS 2014, Savannah, GA August 7 - 10, 2014

We invite the submission of minitrack proposals to the 20th Americas
Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS 2014) Business Intelligence,
Analytics, & Knowledge Management (BIA&KM) track sponsored by AIS
SIGDSS<http://ais.site-ym.com/members/group_content_view.asp?group=89755&id=161287>.
AMCIS will be held on August 7-10, 2014 in Savannah, GA, USA. AMCIS 2014
brings together academics and industry professionals around the world to
exchange knowledge related to the AMCIS 2014 theme, SMART SUSTAINABILITY:
the Information Systems Opportunity.



The track details are as follows:



*Track Co-Chairs*:

Babita Gupta, California State University Monterey Bay, bgupta at csumb.edu

Thilini Ariyachandra, Xavier University, ariyachandrat at xavier.edu

Amit Deokar, Dakota State University, amit.deokar at dsu.edu



*Track Description*:

The Business Intelligence, Analytics, & Knowledge Management (BIA&KM) track
aims to attract novel research on technologies, applications, and processes
for gathering, storing, accessing, analyzing, and presenting data,
information, and knowledge for informed managerial decisions and enhanced
organizational performance. Techniques, tools, and best practices in
Business Intelligence (BI), decision support/analytics, and Knowledge
Management (KM) can help support organizational business processes and
systems for collecting and utilizing information related to sustainability
indicators, analytics, dashboards, scorecards, and trend analyses.



As organizations embrace technologies such as social media, and new data
sources (e.g., sensors, RFID), they also face new challenges related to
analyzing and leveraging data characterized by large volume, velocity, and
variety – typically referred to as ‘Big Data’. Research focused on
managerial as well as technical challenges in this area is needed. Also,
Knowledge Management can play a key role in dealing with varied forms of
knowledge, structured and unstructured, at the intersection of technology,
processes and people. Knowledge Management strategies and solutions need to
be further investigated and brought to bear on new organizational
challenges, including economic, strategic, and behavioral issues.



This research track aims to promote forward-thinking research in
theoretical, design science, and behavioral aspects of BI/Big
Data/Analytics/DSS/KM. Also, applied research in these areas related to
creating and managing sustainable organizations is welcome.



Minitrack topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Predictive analytics

- Text analytics

- Big data and decision support applications, integration, and strategies

- Social media and Web 2.0 analytics

- Pervasive and real-time BI

- Data and information visualization

- Data integration strategies and design (e.g., conceptual, logical,
physical design for data warehouses/marts)

- Online analytical processing (modeling)

- BI for customer relationship management

- Use of BI methods for integrating sustainability practices with business
strategy

- Sustainability Analytics

- Geospatial BI

- Supply chain management utilizing BI in manufacturing processes,
transportation, and logistics

- Collaboration, integration, and management using BI for performance
transparency

- Business performance management (BPM) and optimization

- Data security and information privacy

- Behavioral Economics and BI

- BI strategies and performance metrics

- BI governance, implementation, management and metrics

- Management of knowledge and business process improvement

- Measurement of organizational knowledge

- Knowledge Management Systems (KMS)

- Social and behavioral issues in KM

- BI pedagogy in higher education



Given the very broad and encompassing nature of the research area, there is
room for new mini-tracks involving emerging issues especially those to do
with Internet of Things, mobile BI, and BI in clouds.



Minitrack chairs will be responsible for:
a) Promoting their minitrack to generate manuscript submissions to AMCIS
2014;
b) Soliciting and assigning reviewers for manuscripts submitted to the
minitrack; and
c) Making recommendations to track chairs about each manuscript submitted
to the minitrack.


To submit a minitrack proposal, you must provide:
1.      Minitrack chairs (names, emails, affiliation)
2.      Minitrack title
3.      Short description of minitrack for the AMCIS 2014 website (up to
150 words)
4.      Call for papers for your minitrack.
