Call for Minitrack Proposals

The AIS Special Interest Group on Organizational Systems Research (SIGOSRA) invites the submission of minitrack proposals to the End-user Information Systems, Innovation, and Organizational Change track http://amcis2014.aisnet.org/index.php/track-list/77-amcis-2014/92


Track Description

This track focuses on advancing research and application of information and communication technologies in the end-user environment to support work processes, improve employee performance, and enhance overall organizational effectiveness in direct support of goals and strategies.

We invite research papers on topics related to integrating information and communication technologies in the workplace including end-user innovation, business process management, project management, technology training and support, industry specific applications, collaborative and work group technologies, knowledge management as an end-user technology, and technology adoption, assimilation and use.  Papers related to curriculum issues, service learning, and other pedagogical topics-including teaching cases-are also invited.

The track is open to all types of research. Best papers from the mini-tracks will be considered for submission to the Information Technology, Learning, and Performance Journal (ITLPJ).

Contributions may deal with, but are not limited to, the following topics:


*         End-user adoption of Web 2.0 and virtual technologies (with a focus on social media and collaborative value creation in the work place)

*         End-users and business process management/transformation

*         End-user initiated customization of ICTs

*         End-user innovation

*         End-user training, support, and knowledge management in organizational systems

*         Understanding and managing end-user IS innovations in complex organizational networks and ecosystems

*         Integrating and engaging end-users beyond organization boundaries (with a focus on crowdsourcing and open innovation)

*         Integrating technology into the workplace (with a focus on managing "bring your own device," "bring your own software," integrating mobile devices, organizational routines, work processes, and improving process and employee performance)
