TRACK DESCRIPTION

The rapid advancement of information technologies (IT) and the emerging trend of big data have changed the way today’s businesses operate.  These pressing needs have driven businesses to transform their business practices and strategies by adopting and implementing business intelligence and data analytics to enhance their organizational agility.  As the amount and variety of available data grows, businesses face challenges of effectively leveraging these new technologies to sense and respond to market competition and changing demands.  This new challenge has continued to grow and evolve along with the current pervasive and inevitable trends of massive network connections and data generations through social networking services and Internet of things.  The understanding of the impact of these IT trends is limited.

This minitrack seeks studies that focus on the investigation of the impact of cutting-edge information technologies and corresponding organizational transformations for business intelligence and data analytics on organizational agility.  How should a business implement these new technologies and leverage the benefits?  How new technologies help transform a business into an agile organization?  All studies including conceptual, qualitative, and quantitative research investigating new information technologies and organizational agility are welcome.
