This understanding is particularly complex when dealing with the rapidly broadening of digital innovations (such as RFID, mobile technologies, social network platforms) that impact on inter-organizational processes and services and push organization towards higher degrees of collaboration.<br>The objective of the track is to seek original research contributions on measurable impacts of information systems on business value. The track welcomes research from different fields, from strategic information systems to enterprise architecture, focusing on new models to assess the business value of an IT-based initiative, on methodologies to design an enterprise architecture coherent the strategic aims of an organization, and on empirical studies highlighting the variables influencing the effect of IT investments on business performance.<br> <br>Keywords: Business Value, Strategic Information Systems, Enterprise Architecture, IT value, IT benefits, IS performance management, Business alignment of IT.<br> <br>Co-chairs: Chiara Francalanci (Politecnico di Milano), Aurelio Ravarini (Università Carlo Cattaneo), Alessio Maria Braccini (Università degli Studi della Tuscia)</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div><div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"><div align="center"><b>itAIS 2012 - IX Conference of the Italian
