Call for Papers:
Enterprise systems (ES) still represent one of the major investment decisions of many public or private, large or medium-sized organizations for IT-induced organizational change. 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. In spite of those ES capabilities and opportunities, organizations still often find it challenging to realize ES benefits in practice. This amid exciting new opportunities presented by integrating on premise with Cloud applications and services, Big Data or Analytics features and other new technologies. They require new ways of thinking about processes, system development, and enterprise architecture but also work practices, cultures and identities.

Workshop Objectives:
The special interest group of Enterprise Systems has been hosting its Pre-ICIS workshops since 2006. The primary objective of the workshop is to provide an open and constructive discussion forum of important ES research. The workshop intends to be developmental, in that it will showcase completed and in-progress research, with the intention of improving them to a journal submission. 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, organizations and society. 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:
*       ES and Digital Transformations: implications for work contents, people, processes and technologies.
*       Technology Enhancements and ES, e.g. RFID, Web Services, Virtual Reality and Mobile Applications
*       Data Analytics and ES
*       Challenges and issues of ES in highly mobile environments
*       Organizational Change, Culture and Organizational Learning
*       Organizational and Business Impacts of ES
*       Social and Behavioral issues related with ES implementation and use.
*       Decision structures, information governance and 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
*       New directions in pedagogies on ES

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.

*Authors may write to Darshana Sedera should a short extension be required.

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, 2017.
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.
