<span style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">IT services impact individuals and organizations at all levels, ranging from consumers and their smart phone apps, to enterprise-wide and global scale services. The global economy may be experiencing slower
growth, but, even with these concerns, annual average growth of IT spending from 2011 through 2016 is forecast at around 5-6% (Gartner, IDC, 2012).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</span>Some sectors are growing even faster with forecasts of worldwide compound annual growth rates (CAGR) of 12%-25+% for security and public IT Cloud services, respectively.

<span style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Digital innovation in the services economy occur in the management of IT infrastructures, application and system portfolios, data and information provision and use, and delivery and use of consumer and business
services. These services innovations are found around the globe, reflecting service-oriented thinking as a fast growing paradigm. Organizations are enhancing their products and services by applying a service-oriented paradigm and exploiting information technology
opportunities. There is a need to develop and apply robust research findings in the relevant management and organizational contexts related to services innovation, design, quality, architecture, delivery, execution, and the resulting customer satisfaction
and business impact and value. The goal of this workshop is to advance research on phenomena related to information systems as a service and information systems-based services.
