[AISWorld] CFP: AMCIS 2014 Minitrack “IT Project Success”

[Michalik, Bjoern]

CALL FOR PAPERS
AMCIS 2014, Savannah, GA, August 7-10, 2014


IT PROJECT SUCCESS
IT Project Management (SIGITProjMgmt) track

The challenge of successfully completing information technology (IT) projects is still prevailing. Dominant research streams focus on achieving success (i.e., through the identification of success factors) or avoiding failure (i.e., through the identification of failure factors). In addition, a central aspect of IT project success research deals with the measurement of success. Whereas the traditional and still most widely applied approach to measure success is adherence to planning (i.e., project conformance to budget, schedule, and specified requirements), criteria like stakeholder satisfaction or strategic benefits for the contracting organization have been proposed to be used additionally or alternatively to adherence to planning. Beside the phenomenon of differences between traditional success assessments and subjective perceptions of stakeholders, the measurability of success criteria is an issue yet to be solved.
This minitrack seeks high quality research papers that investigate various aspects of IT project success. In that light, we welcome both conceptual and empirical papers that employ a variety of quantitative and qualitative methodologies. Possible topics include, but are not limited to:

•      Success criteria

•      Measurability of success criteria

•      Coherence of process success and product success

•      Success contingencies (e.g., point in time, stakeholder perspectives, project characteristics)

•      Success factors

•      Failure factors

•      Success reports
Instructions for authors and submission:
Manuscript submissions for AMCIS 2014 will open in early January 2014.  Exact dates and instructions to authors to follow as soon as these are made available (http://amcis2014.aisnet.org/index.php/call-for-papers).
