=================================
Last CALL FOR PAPERS
Mini-Track "Virtual Crowdsourcing Communities"
20th Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS)
August 7-10, 2014, Savannah, Georgia, USA
AMCIS 2014 website http://amcis2014.aisnet.org/
Mini-Track website http://www.virtual-community.org
==========================================================================

=== SCOPE ===
Virtual Crowdsourcing Communities (VCC) have emerged as high activity
domains on the Internet. VCC are designed for a variety of purposes,
ranging from VCC for Creation (Wikipedia), for Work (TopCoder, odesk), or
for Funding (Sell-a-Band, Kickstarter, etc.). The significance of these
communities is evident by the impact they have on information and content
generation as well as transmission, and socialization. For example, today,
Wikipedia is quickly becoming a primary source of information in a variety
of domains. Crowdsourcing is also becoming more and more attractive for
firms. By practicing Crowdsourcing firms tend to get access to services,
ideas, or content from a large group of people via VCC. In this vein,
firms? traditional Make-Or-Buy decisions turn to the management and
integration of globally distributed resources. For example, firms source
the generation of innovations or the work on tasks through VCC as the
examples of Dell?s Ideastorm or Amazon?s Mechanical Turk illustrate.
Within the field of IS researchers are interested in studying interaction
patterns, social structures, transaction processes, management aspects,
business models, and design aspects of information systems and services
for VCC. Other related issues are trust, network effects as well as
transaction costs. Also, the operational mechanisms of VCC are of interest
to practice. In this vein, research that unlocks the value of "Wisdom of
Crowds" or "Collective Intelligence" can be very insightful.

=== SUGGESTED TOPICS ===
Despite the increasing popularity of VCC, several questions relating to
VCC remain largely unexplored. We call for papers on all aspects of VCC.
We welcome empirical, conceptual and theoretical work. Possible topics
include (but are not limited to):

* Social, political and economic impact of VCC
* Community models, platforms, services, and interactions in VCC
* Management of VCC
* VCC-related business models
* Innovation and content generation in VCC
* Collaboration among and between VCC members
* Case studies and empirical studies, best practices and lessons learned
* Typologies and taxonomies of VCC
* Labor and work organization within VCC
* Individual and group behaviors inVCC
* Worker performance, attitudes, motivation and satisfaction within VCC
* Ethical issues associated with VCC

=== IMPORTANT DATES ===
* January 5, 2014: AIS Review System will begin accepting submissions for
AMCIS 2014
* March 1, 2014: Submission deadline (No submissions will be accepted
after midnight, Savannah (EST) time, March 1, 2014)
* April 4, 2014: Authors will be notified as to whether their submission
was accepted, conditionally accepted, or rejected
* April 18, 2014: Authors must have their revised submissions submitted
* April 25, 2014: Authors must have their camera-ready, final papers
submitted

Final CALL FOR PAPERS:
AMCIS Minitrack - Global and Cross Cultural Impacts of Big Data

20th Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS): Smart Sustainability, the Information Systems Opportunity, Savannah, GA, August  7-10, 2014

Conference Website: http://amcis2013.aisnet.org/

DESCRIPTION

Manyika et al. (2011; 4) note ?big data has now reached every sector of the global economy. Like other essential factors of production ? much of modern economic activity simply couldn?t take place without it.? An emerging grand challenge involves gathering, organizing, curating, managing, analyzing, visualizing and disseminating these heterogeneous data over the lifecycle of the data for such purposes such as scientific discovery, medical advances, entrepreneurial activity and public policy formulation.

People in the public and private sectors are taking note of this development as are academics, who are exploring ways of dealing with big data, defined by the National Science Foundation (2012) as:

?large, diverse, complex, longitudinal, and/or distributed data sets generated from instruments, sensors, Internet transactions, email, video, click streams, and/or all other digital sources available today and in the future.

This minitrack solicits high quality conceptual and empirical work that focuses on the global impacts of big data on governments, multinational companies, NGOs and other organizations. Big data datasets and the technologies for analyzing them are developing faster than our understanding of the ways in which this phenomenon is impacting and will impact the ways work is done in a wide range of settings. As scholars and researchers begin to investigate the impacts of Big Data, this minitrack provides a venue for them to share their work.

Appropriate topics for this minitrack include (but are not limited to) the following:

? Big data use in organizational, national and international settings
? How the introduction of big data affects organizational and group work flow
? Ways that big data is affecting organizational and group decision making
? Security and privacy impacts of big data use
? The intended and unintended consequences of big data
? The dark side of big data: surveillance, illicit activities, discriminatory analytics, and the end of privacy
? Big data as a social, political, economic, and/or cultural phenomenon

Final Call For Papers:

AMCIS Mini-track: Social Theory in Information Systems Research (STIR '14)

20th Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS): Smart Sustainability, the Information Systems opportunity, Savannah, GA, August  7-10, 2014

Conference Website: http://amcis2013.aisnet.org/

DESCRIPTION:
This Mini Track solicits papers that make use of social theory in information systems research drawing upon such approaches as sociotechnical theory, critical theory, social informatics, organizational theory, cultural anthropology, sociology and others. We are interested in understanding and supporting the evolution of social theory, socio-technical theory, and social informatics in information systems research. We want to highlight research that uses these approaches to critically examine the constitution of information and communications technologies, and their roles in organizations and society; these are among the most important questions about IS, organizations, and society. We particularly invite IS research that applies, builds on, compares, or critiques these social theories.

We are interested in high quality empirical and conceptual work that uses social theory to study and theorize about application domains including large-scale social and organizational phenomena. We seek to attract research papers and research-in-progress papers from all IS researchers who are using the work of social theorists, organizational theorists, sociotechnical theorists, and cultural anthropologists, symbolic interactionists, and many others. We are particularly interested in research that makes use of social theory 1) to address issues of designing a smart and sustainable digital future, 2) to answer questions about how we are interacting with ICTs in our work and social lives in ways that help and hinder the move towards sustainability, and 3) to critically examine the constitution of ICTs, and their roles in the design, maintenance and dissolution of sustainable organizations and social groups.

This will be the 14th consecutive year for the Mini Track at AMCIS, and we hope to continue a tradition of high quality paper submissions, thought-provoking presentations and lively discussion for all IS researchers using, or considering the use of, social theory in their work.

SUGGESTED TOPICS
In addition to research aligned with the conference theme we are also interested in high quality empirical and conceptual work that uses social theory to study and understand:

* The implications of social networks for organizations and social groups
* Conceptual and empirical work focusing on the ways ICT can promote or hinder social inclusion
* The significance of cyberinfrastructure for commerce, governing and research and development
* The relationships between ICTs and people as they participate in online communities and virtual teams
* Online communities of practice, their processes and outcomes
* The dynamics of crowdsourcing online
* Hacktivism and the use of technology to mobilize resources and advance ideology
* Unintended consequences of technology implementation and use in organizations and in social life
* Scientific collaboration and scholarly communication as enabled and constrained by ICTs
* The impacts of social computing on our social and work lives

CALL FOR PAPERS

20th Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS'14)
August 7-10, 2014
Savannah, Georgia

Track: Green IS and Sustainability
Mini-track: Information Systems for Sustainable Business Activities and Supply Chains

Abstract:
This mini-track focuses on the role of Information Systems in enabling the development and promotion of sustainability strategy and sustainable business practices that focus on all aspects of the triple bottom line: Profit, People, and Planet. More particularly, this mini-track is interested in research regarding the role of IS in enabling sustainable business practices that not only address sustainability within individual firms but also reach beyond firm boundary to examine the role of IS in enabling coordination among supply chain partners to develop more sustainable business practices across supply chains.

Description of Main Theme and Potential Topics:
Sustainability has increasingly become important to business research and practice over the past decades as a result of rapid depletion of natural resources and concerns over wealth disparity and corporate social responsibility. Sustainability research and practices have recognized that business performance should be evaluated based on its impacts on the environment and interested stakeholders besides profitability, known as the triple bottom line (TBL). Companies have increasingly recognized that business strategy that boldly embrace sustainability have resulted in companies? being successful in delivering financial, environmental, and social values to themselves as well as related stakeholders (MIT Sloan Management Review report, 2011).
In order to develop capabilities to address TBL issues, businesses need to engage in wide ranging activities such as changing business culture, redesigning business processes, etc. (Hart & Milstein, 2003; Porter & Kramer, 2006). More importantly, research as well as management practice have illustrated that to be truly sustainable, companies should not only just focus on their own business operations but also focus on improving sustainable business practices across the supply chain (Kleindorfer, Singhal, & Van Wassenhove, 2005; Dao, Langella, & Carbo, 2011).
Given the recognized role of IT resources in enabling business capabilities within and across supply chain partners (Rai, Patnayakuni, & Seth, 2006; Jain, Wadhwa, & Deshmukh, 2009), it is arguable that IT resources should be critical in enabling firms to develop capabilities to address sustainability issues both within firms and across their supply chain through coordination with supply chain partners (Melville, 2010; Dao et al., 2011). We invite research from different business areas, including MIS, management, supply chain and operation management, and particularly inter-disciplinary research that examines the role of IT resources in conjunction with other business resources in enabling firms to develop sustainability strategy that address all aspects of the triple bottom line, both within firms and across supply chain partners. Topics of interest include, but not limited to:
- IS in enabling sustainable innovation
- Intertwining of environmentally and socially sustainable practices
- IS in enabling environmentally and socially sustainable operations (including direct environmental impact of data centers, power consumption and conservation, etc.)
- IS in supply chain partners? coordination for sustainability
- Sustainability vision within and across firms
- The role of IS in enabling the assessment of sustainability performance
