<a href="http://www.iacis.org/conference/conference.php" target="_blank">http://www.iacis.org/conference/conference.php</a></span><br><br>Recent research suggests that in today’s organizations technical knowledge may not be enough for employees to effectively perform competitive tasks, make business decisions and gain competitive advantage. Business specific knowledge, core process knowledge, and industry knowledge must blend with technical knowledge for effective organizational decision making. With this in mind, the theme for the IACIS 2013 International Conference is “Organizational Competitiveness in the 21st Century: Using Knowledge Resources to Support Effective Decision Making”.<br>
<br>The IACIS 2013 International Conference provides a showcase for the latest research in practice and pedagogical topics that focus on how information systems are used to support organizations or enhance the educational process. You are invited to share your research on the conference theme or other relevant IS and IT research with the educators and professionals attending the IACIS 2013 International Conference. Papers covering related academic and technical issues are also encouraged. <br>
<br>All submissions MUST be submitted online by May 12, 2013. See submission requirements and other information at <a href="http://www.iacis.org/conference/conference.php" target="_blank">http://www.iacis.org/conference/conference.php</a>. <br>
