[AISWorld] Last Call For Papers: PACIS 2014 Supply Chain Innovation and Management Track - Chengdu, China, June 24-28, 2014

[Hsin-Lu Chang]

*Supply Chain Innovation and Management Track*



Track Description:



Information technology (IT) has been recognized as an important enabler for
supply chain innovations. The legendary story of how Walmart and Proctor &
Gamble Company (P&G) use IT to enable continuous planning, forecasting, and
replenishment (CPFR), helping propel Walmart to retail dominance is well
understood. More recently, we have witnessed emerging ITs create new ways
to manage supply chain operations as well as to collaborate with supply
chain partners. Cloud technology, for example, enables companies to build a
"plug-and-play" connectivity of trading partners. Such cloud-based
community of trading partners can provide the foundation to drive business
intelligence in terms of visibility and event management, and thus
significantly transform supply chain performance (CIO Magazine, June 2013).
The Internet of Things (IoT) is another emerging IT that has great
potential for improving supply chain management. IoT-based solutions
enables data automatically collected from ubiquitous sensors, minimizing
the efforts to manage supply chains such as monitoring suppliers' and
customers' transactions, tracking the progress of shipment, and alerting
the demand and inventory levels. In addition, service-oriented architecture
(SOA), a business- driven IT architectural approach, is designed to speed
up new application development by providing repeatable component business
services. This approach gives supply chain managers new capabilities in
terms of flexibility and responsiveness. It also enhances electronic
integration and coordination of supply chain partners, improving visibility
throughout the entire supply chain.


Given the conference theme "IT ubiquitous and collaborative innovation," we
believe IT advances in cloud computing, ubiquitous computing, service
computing, to name a few, are the meta-forces for supply chain innovation.
Furthermore, the continuous IT growth shifts the dominant thinking of
supply chain management toward the concepts of service, value co-creation,
value networks, service propositions, market orientation, service
ecosystem, and learning. This track seeks high-quality research that
attempts to advance theory and application of IT in supply chain innovation
using any research approach (action research, experimental, grounded
theory, design science, case studies, survey research, theory development,
prototyping, methodology development, etc.). Below can be seen a list of
the examples, but not limit to, of possible topics:



-        Theories used in IT-enabled supply chain innovation

-        B2B business models and analysis

-        Multi-channel integration

-        Service-oriented supply chain management

-        Ubiquitous supply chain management

-        Big Data, social media, and mobile computing applications to B2B
and supply-chain innovation

-        The impact of new technologies such as RFID, the Internet of
things and 3-D printing to supply chains

-        IT-enabled supply chain agility, visibility, responsiveness

-        Demand-driven supply chain management

-        Cloud-based supply chain collaboration

-        Value co-creation in supply chain innovation

-        IT capability profile for supply chain innovation

-        Governance in IT-enabled supply chain innovation

-        Success and failure of IT-enabled supply chain innovation

-        Best practices in IT-enabled supply chain innovation

-        Industries specific issues in computer, smart-phone, healthcare,
and eGrocery supply chains

-        Methodologies used in IT-enabled supply chain innovation
