ECIS 2017 CfP: Business Analytics and Data Science Track

Business Analytics is not limited to a traditional and isolated
organizational focus. The Application of Business Analytics and Data
Science approaches enables us to integrate, analyze, visualize, and
ultimately understand and improve the complex processes that make up our
digitized world. Such approaches are, therefore, great enablers for
knowledge discovery benefitting people, organizations, societies, while
leading to the smart technologies. Improved communication,
more sustainable processes as well as new business models are examples for
the innovative usage of disparate data sources (such as mobile, Internet of
Things/ wearables/ streaming data, social media data.). This changes the
nature of interaction and use of information exchange technologies along
with the information is consumed at the individual, team, and
organizational level, or even in global settings. Motivated by the
explosion of interest in these emerging fields,
the Business Analytics and Data Science for Business Performance track aims
to promote multidisciplinary contributions dealing with managerial,
economic, methodological, cultural, and technological perspectives.
Submissions based on theoretical research, design research, action
research, or behavioural research are encouraged. We welcome full
research papers,
research in progress papers, and prototype papers.

The track’s topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Business Intelligence and Analytics (BI&A)
