[AISWorld] Call for Papers- Conference on Information Systems and Technology (CIST) 2016

[Susarla, Anjana]

>From Elvis to Taylor (Swift): Digital Transformation in Music, Entertainment, and Beyond

Information systems are integral to how we work, play, and consume information. New technologies, platforms, and media provide firms new ways to interact with consumers and other stakeholders. Not only do these technologies pervade our daily routines, they also provide valuable data for analyzing individual and organizational behavior and affording us valuable insights into key functions such as marketing, finance and accounting, human resource management, and operations and logistics. These technologies connect us to others via social networks, enabling the growth of the sharing economy. They present unprecedented opportunities to voice our opinions, scrutinize our healthcare, and be part of smarter ecosystems.

Yet, these technologies also leave us open to opportunism, privacy invasion, potential unemployment, and security threats. The recent Apple vs. FBI controversy further underscores the perils of ubiquitous technology. CIST 2016 will feature research papers and keynote speakers that examine strategic, economic, and policy implications of the opportunities and threats of the digital transformation of our worlds.
