Call for Papers - Big Data Analytics and Process Innovation Workshop | To be held in CENTERIS 2015 - Vilamoura, Algarve, Portugal, 7-9 October  2015

http://centeris.scika.org;  AIS Affiliated Conference





WORKSHOP OBJECTIVE

Big data analytics (BBA) or the "collection of data and technology that accesses, integrates, and reports all available data by filtering, correlating, and reporting insights not attainable with past data technologies" (APICS 2012), is emerging as the "next big thing" in management. Some scholars have gone so far as suggesting that BBA is the "next management revolution" (McAfee and Brynjolfsson 2012), and thus generating huge attention from both practitioners and academics. Some analysts estimate that BBA-enabled process improvement may lead to about 26% average performance improvement over a three years period (Capgemini 2012). However, very few empirical studies have been conducted to assess the real business value of BBA at the firm and supply chain levels.
The main objective of this workshop to invite scholars and practitioners to look at the ways and means to identify and capture business value from BDA in terms of innovative business models, improved decisions making, improved intra-and inter-organizational performance, and competitive advantage.
