Call for Papers

Enterprise systems (ES) represent one of the major investment decisions of
many public or private, large or medium-sized organizations. Organizations
expect positive outcomes such as increased efficiency, effectiveness, and a
better ability to face the competitive pressures. Organizations see
improving business processes at both the organizational and
inter-organizational levels, achieving standardization but also agility, and
promoting business innovation as some of the means to reach those
objectives.

ES also come with major challenges for organizations, which are for example
are willing to integrate on premise and Cloud applications and services and
are looking for articulating ES with Big Data or Analytics features.
Organizations also recognize the capability of ES to contribute to digital
transformations, allowing or inducing changes to their IS infrastructure,
work processes, decision structures, or business models. 

In spite of those ES capabilities and opportunities, organizations still
often find it difficult and risky to realize ES benefits in practice. The
design, implementation, integration within work practices, and maintenance
of these large integrated applications still represent major technical and
organizational challenges. They require new ways of thinking about business
processes, system development, and enterprise architecture but also work
practices, cultures and identities. 

Workshop Objectives

In response to those practical concerns, the primary objective of the
workshop is to provide an open and constructive discussion forum of
important ES research. The authors are particularly encouraged to leverage
novel theoretical perspectives and approaches to better understand, the
design, implementation issues, and consequences of ES for people, work, and
organizations. The organizing committee intends to employ the workshop to
identify new ES research domains and to share and develop innovative
approaches of ES research. 


Topics

We welcome qualitative, quantitative, mixed methods, conceptual works and
papers that examine research methods appropriate for ES research. We
encourage submissions from researchers representing all ontological
perspectives. Our intention is to provide a forum for bringing together
researchers with similar interests both to share their current work and to
plan future directions for the field. We also hope to stimulate future
collaboration in research development.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

*       Technology Enhancements and ES, e.g. RFID, Web Services, Virtual
Reality, Mobile Applications, Portal Technology, and Workflow Management 

*       Business Intelligence, Knowledge Management in ES 

*       Data Analytics and ES

*       Organizational Change, Culture and Organizational Learning 

*       Organizational and Business Impacts of ES 

*       Organizational issues related to the integration of ES and IT
infrastructures 

*       Social and Behavioral issues related with ES implementation and use.


*       Decision structures, information governance and ES

*       ES and Digital Transformations: implications for work contents,
people, processes and technologies. 

*       Inter and Intra-organizational interaction of ES 

*       Extended Enterprise Systems selection, implementation and usage
issues

*       Alignment of business, process and IS architecture 

*       Cross-country comparisons of ES design, implementation, use and
post-adoption. 

*       ES, social networking and collaboration

*       Challenges and issues of ES in Cloud computing environments

*       New directions in Enterprise Systems


Submissions
Authors are encouraged to submit papers on high quality research (completed,
research in progress and issues and opinion research) that are original. The
authors are required to identify the mini-track that they wish to submit in
the cover page of the submission. 


Maximum length: 5000 words including all titles, abstracts, figures, tables,
but exclude references.

Formatting: All submissions must be formatted for 8½ x 11 inch page (1 inch
= 2.5 cm) and have 1 inch margins all around. Please use Times New Roman
12-point font with double spacing for the body of the paper.


File Formats: Word and PDF file formats will be accepted. 


Submissions will undergo a blind review process. All authors should agree to
provide timely reviews of at most two other submissions, if requested.

Submission: Manuscripts should be submitted as email attachments to the
workshop program co-chair: Darshana Sedera (d.sedera at qut.edu.au), with the
subject heading "Enterprise Systems Workshop Submission." Authors can use
the body of the email as the cover letter for the submission and should
ensure that their identities do not appear in any part of the manuscript.
The first page of the manuscript should have a title, the type of the
submission (complete research, issues and opinion, or research in progress),
total word count of the submission, an abstract of 200 words or less, and a
list of 5-6 keywords.  


Publication: All accepted abstracts will be published in the ES-SIG website.
This inclusion should not affect full versions of the papers to be published
later in journals. Selected papers will be considered for fast-track and
publication in an AIS journal to be determined. More information will be
provided at the workshop.

Authors of accepted papers should make sure that the following steps are
taken:

1.     At least one author has to register for the workshop by November
15th, 2016.

2.     Each author should provide a short bio of up to 150 words by that
date by email. This bio will be listed in the workshop program.
