CALL FOR PAPERS ECIS’2015 
Track: Enterprise Transformation 
European Conference on Information Systems, May 27-29, 2015, Muenster, 
Germany  
http://www.ecis2015.eu/participation/list-tracks/12-enterprise-transformation-purposeful-design-or-organic-emergence 

********************************************************************************* 

  
The first iteration of a track on Enterprise Transformation was organised 
at ECIS2012 in Barcelona (Spain), while the second iteration was organised 
at ECIS2013 in Utrecht (Netherlands). The track managed to attract on 
average 40 papers. For the organisers of the Enterprise Transformation 
track at ECIS2012 and ECIS2013, this number of submissions is a clear 
stimulus to propose a third iteration of a track.

To stimulate discussion, and invite papers with a refreshing perspective, 
this year the focus will be on “Enterprise Transformation – Purposeful 
design or organic emergence?”. With this focus, we aim to trigger a 
discussion between essentially an engineering perspective on enterprise 
transformation (enterprises and their transformation as an object of 
purposeful design), and other perspectives on change of enterprises that 
should enrich the engineering view. For example a communication and/or 
organizational perspective, seeing the enterprise as the result of social 
interaction among people.
