Digitization has become heavily embedded today’s business operations. This, among many other drivers, is fueling the
assimilation of business intelligence and business analytics approaches within organizations across various industries
as more and more data becomes available allowing for more detailed analyses.
Business Analytics Management research explores organizational and technological advances to improve business
performance in a continuous and iterative way. Business intelligence and business analytics approaches typically include
ETL, OLAP as well as exploratory data analysis techniques to provide historical, current, and predictive views of the
business. However, limited attention has been given to the individual’s perspective focusing on personal objectives and
characteristics as enabling or suppressing factors to business intelligence and business analytics use. The big data
challenge, fueled by increasing variety, volume, velocity, and veracity of data, bares large potential for research and
practice by extending existing analytics beyond the traditional organizational borders. New phenomena or paradigm
changes from the use of analytics approaches emerge the same way as other business models do. Furthermore, the
availability of seemingly endless computing and cheaper storage capabilities available through the cloud computing
enables new opportunities in providing a global gateway to information as a service.
Motivated by the explosion of interest in these emerging fields, the Business Analytics Management and Applications
track promotes multidisciplinary contributions dealing with managerial, economic, cultural, architectural, and
technological perspectives on the management of business intelligence and business analytics technology as well as
applications. Submissions based on theoretical research, design research, action research, or behavioral 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:
