(SIGDSS) Track Description (<a href="http://amcis2014.aisnet.org/index.php/track-list/77-amcis-2014/88">http://amcis2014.aisnet.org/index.php/track-list/77-amcis-2014/88</a>):<br><br></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">The Business Intelligence,
Analytics, & Knowledge Management (BIA&KM) track aims to attract novel
research on technologies, applications, and processes for gathering, storing,
accessing, analyzing, and presenting data, information, and knowledge for
informed managerial decisions and enhanced organizational performance.
Techniques, tools, and best practices in Business Intelligence (BI), decision
support/analytics, and Knowledge Management (KM) can help support
organizational business processes and systems for collecting and utilizing
information related to sustainability indicators, analytics, dashboards,
scorecards, and trend analyses.<br><br></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">As organizations embrace
technologies such as social media, and new data sources (e.g., sensors, RFID),
they also face new challenges related to analyzing and leveraging data
characterized by large volume, velocity, and variety – typically referred to as
‘Big Data’. Research focused on managerial as well as technical challenges in
this area is needed. Also, Knowledge Management can play a key role in dealing
with varied forms of knowledge, structured and unstructured, at the
intersection of technology, processes and people. Knowledge Management
strategies and solutions need to be further investigated and brought to bear on
new organizational challenges, including economic, strategic, and behavioral
issues.<br><br></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">This research track aims to promote
forward-thinking research in theoretical, design science, and behavioral
aspects of BI/Big Data/Analytics/DSS/KM. Also, applied research in these areas
related to creating and managing sustainable organizations is welcome.</span></p>
