HICSS2016 Minitrack:

Practice-based IS Research (Organizational Systems and Technology Track)

January 5-8, 2016
Grand Hyatt, Kauai
http://www.hicss.hawaii.edu

This mini-track seeks to encourage practice-based research on new and emerging IS issues in organizations.  Practice-based research aspires to bridge the gap between academic theory and practice; it aspires both to introduce researchers to state of the art practices and issues from industry as well as introduce managers to research that makes sense of and brings coherence to the issues they face. The minitrack seeks research on current IS topics of relevance to practice, such as but not limited to:

* Wearable technology opportunities and obstacles
* The device is just the beginning: Bring your own app challenges facing IT managers
* Enterprise IT’s role as app developer and app life cycle manager, developing for speed
* The emergence of sports technology and its impact on sports consumption
* Equipping employees with omnipresent 4G – who needs it, who does not
* The impact of tablets on work productivity
* When big data is too big – how far should we go with big data?
* The threat from the other “C”s – how CIOs work with Chief Data Officers, Chief Media Officers, Chief Innovation Officers, Chief Digital Officers
* IT in support of ethical consumption
* IT infrastructure in a hyperconnected world
* The Cloud: how far should we go?
* Transforming the role of technologist in a world of contracted services in the Cloud
* Measuring innovation from idea to integration, who really owns the risks and rewards?
