For companies, this development often poses a significant challenge. To succeed in this changing competitive environment, companies must unfold the potential of digital technologies in their business strategies, transform their work routines, processes and structures, rethink their business models, as well as manage and govern IT infrastructures that are the central to their value propositions (Legner et al., 2017). In short, pervasive digitalization has increased the importance of information technology (IT) and transformed the demands placed on organizations? IT functions. Besides ensuring regular IT operations, IT functions are increasingly required to proactively identify technological innovations and to rapidly transfer them into marketable solutions ? and with that to directly contribute to the company?s central value propositions (Urbach et al., 2017). In this context, IS strategizing and governance represent key activities for the effective deployment of IT resources and ultimately for value creation through IT. The emergence of new digital technologies (e.g., artificial intelligence [AI], big-data analytics, blockchain, cloud computing) and infrastructures (e.g., digital platforms and ecosystems), novel value-creation processes and work practices (e.g., human-robot collaboration, resource sharing) along with the availability of unprecedented data volumes challenge existing conceptualizations and theories related to IS strategy and governance (Markus, 2017; Newell & Marabelli, 2015). For instance, while cloud services may make the IT artefact seemingly disappear, the challenge of governing the design and use of such services and associated IT resources has become even more acute (Schneider & Sunyaev, 2016). Digital business models that revolve around resource sharing and/or complex product-service offerings not only challenge organizational boundaries, but also established ideas about ownership of resources, tasks, and outputs (Schor, 2014). Similarly, while AI-based algorithms can automate business processes, they highlight even more urgently, the need for data fidelity and process management (Tarafdar et al., 2017). At the same time, in organizations where more ?traditional? technologies and work practices are still dominant, IS strategy and governance challenges remain highly important and complex (Wiener et al., 2016). The objectives of the proposed track are two-fold. One, from the point of view of scholarly research, the objective is to foster and promote novel theories and concepts on IS strategy and governance, with a particular focus on the manifold opportunities and challenges associated with the pervasive digitalization of business and society. Two, the track aims at offering insights that enable IS practitioners to leverage emerging digital technologies, respond to digitalization challenges, and ultimately, to make effective use of available IT resources. The track is open to all types of contributions?including research in progress?studying IS strategy and governance topics from different stakeholder perspectives, in different contexts and settings (e.g., for-profits and non-profits), at different levels of analysis (e.g., individual, project, program, corporate, network, and societal level), and with different theoretical perspectives and methodological approaches (e.g., conceptual and empirical studies). We particularly welcome studies that address the conference theme ?Information Systems for a Sharing Society? by focusing on IS strategy and governance issues related to the sharing of IT and other resources. TOPICS OF INTEREST Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: > Digital strategizing and strategy implementation (e.g., link to overall business strategy, development of digital capabilities, sustainability of digital strategies, translation of strategic objectives into governance practices and structures) > Strategic impact of emerging digital technologies (e.g., artificial intelligence, blockchain, big-data analytics, cloud computing) on business models, governance structures, and processes, etc. > Governance of digital transformation and innovation processes (e.g., new governance models for complex organizations, such as companies operating with dual/coexisting traditional and digital business models) > Changing role of CIO function & New role of CDO function (e.g., ?digital race? between CIO and CDO, structure and nature of business-IT relationships) > Data-driven leadership and control approaches (e.g., algorithmic performance management, IT-mediated control of work processes) > Governance of digital value-creation processes and networks (e.g., Industry 4.0 and cyber-physical systems, IT-enabled product-service systems, digital platforms and ecosystems, resource sharing, etc.) > Governance of novel work practices (e.g., agile software development, human-robot interaction and collaboration) and sourcing models (e.g., crowdsourcing, multi-sourcing, open-sourcing, and back-sourcing) > Information security governance (e.g., cybersecurity frameworks, standards, and policies for critical infrastructures) > Dark side of digital strategies/governance, including ethical issues as well as undesired ecological, economic, and socio-emotional side-effects (e.g., technostress) > Critical reflections on IS strategy and governance in the digital age (e.g., truly ?new? features and challenges of digitalization, links to traditional research streams) > Novel theoretical perspectives and research approaches that broaden, or challenge, our understanding of IS strategy and governance in the digital age.

Since then, the world has witnessed an increasingly important role of China in the global economy. With the development of its economy, China also made great progress in the use of digital technology, the development of new digital business, and the application of digital solutions to organizational and societal issues. The country even managed to lead the rest of the world in a few areas such as e-commerce and mobile payment. How do individuals, private firms, nonprofits, and governments in China position themselves to leverage digital technologies? Can we translate what we learn from China to the rest of the world, and if yes, how? Recognizing that China provides a potentially important context for IS research, we call for another special issue in the Information Systems Journal with a renewed focus on IS issues in China. For the special issue, we welcome research from all theoretical perspectives, with all methodologies, and at all levels of unit-of-analysis. In addition to a focus on the China context, this special issue also emphasizes theoretical contributions to the global IS knowledge in digital innovations. With the digitization of innovations, some key assumptions underlying traditional theories in innovation management are increasingly being challenged. At the same time, as many previous researchers pointed out, the mainstream managerial theories (including theories on innovation management) were developed within the Western context and shaped, mostly implicitly, by the Western political, economic, and social background. Therefore, the local digital innovation practices in China in the last decade offer a great opportunity for researchers to unearth, explicate, compensate for, or even problematize prior assumptions and biases in context. In particular, we encourage researchers to develop new theories based on studies of digital innovations in today?s China rather than simply validating existing theories in order to understand digital innovations in China. Examples of topics that can be addressed by the manuscripts include, but are not limited to, the following: ? the acceptance and diffusion of digital innovations in China ? the development and deployment of digital innovations in China ? the effect of the Chinese context ? cultural, social, political, and/or technological ? on the success or failure of digital innovations ? the propagation of digital innovations originated in China to foreign markets ? the innovative use of digital technologies to solve business or societal problems in China ? new business models enabled by digital innovations in China ? the realization of the business value of digital innovations in China Important Dates: Initial submission of extended abstract: September 30, 2018 Paper development workshop at Tongji University: December 1-2, 2018 Submission of completed papers: March 31, 2019 First round of reviews due: June 30, 2019 Revision due: October 31, 2019 Completion of second round of reviews: January 31, 2020 Final revisions due: March 31, 2020 Final decision: April 30, 2020 *********************** Carol Hsu, Ph.D. Professor School of Economics and Management Tongji University 1500 Siping Road Shanghai, 200092, China phone:+86 (21) 6597256 e-mail: carolhsu at tongji.edu.cn Web: http://sem.tongji.edu.cn/semch/?p=22487 From sram at email.arizona.edu Fri Sep 21 14:43:28 2018 From: sram at email.arizona.edu (Ram, Sudha - (sram)) Date: Fri, 21 Sep 2018 18:43:28 +0000 Subject: [AISWorld] The Journal of Business Analytics - Inaugural Issue and call for Papers Message-ID: The Journal of Business Analytics - Free Access to the Inaugural Issue We are delighted to announce the completion of the first issue of the Journal of Business Analytics, an official journal of the Operational Research Society.
