[AISWorld] 2nd CFP: AMCIS 2015 Minitrack “IT Project Success”

[Basten, Dirk]

CALL FOR PAPERS
AMCIS 2015, Puerto Rico, August 13-15, 2015, http://amcis2015.aisnet.org


IT PROJECT SUCCESS minitrack
IT Project Management (SIGITProjMgmt) track


Minitrack Description
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.

Potential Topics
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 (quantitative and qualitative alike). Possible topics include, but are not limited to:

•      Success criteria

•      Success/failure factors

•      Measurability of success criteria

•      Coherence of process success and product success

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

•      Success/failure reports

Important Dates
February 25, 2015: Deadline for AMCIS manuscript submissions
Tuesday, April 21, 2015: Authors notified about the disposition of their papers
Tuesday, April 28, 2015:  Deadline for camera-ready revisions
May 5, 2015: Final decisions on AMCIS 2015 program are made
