<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-indent:24pt"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:'Times New Roman',serif"><font size="4">Information technology (IT) has been recognized as an important enabler for supply chain innovations. The legendary story of how Walmart and Proctor & Gamble Company (P&G) use IT to enable continuous planning, forecasting, and replenishment (CPFR), helping propel Walmart to retail dominance is well understood. More recently, we have witnessed emerging ITs create new ways to manage supply chain operations as well as to collaborate with supply chain partners. Cloud technology, for example, enables companies to build a “plug-and-play” connectivity of trading partners. Such cloud-based community of trading partners can provide the foundation to drive business intelligence in terms of visibility and event management, and thus significantly transform supply chain performance (CIO Magazine, June 2013). The Internet of Things (IoT) is another emerging IT that has great potential for improving supply chain management. IoT-based solutions enables data automatically collected from ubiquitous sensors, minimizing the efforts to manage supply chains such as monitoring suppliers’ and customers’ transactions, tracking the progress of shipment, and alerting the demand and inventory levels. In addition, service-oriented architecture (SOA), a business- driven IT architectural approach, is designed to speed up new application development by providing repeatable component business services. This approach gives supply chain managers new capabilities in terms of flexibility and responsiveness. It also enhances electronic integration and coordination of supply chain partners, improving visibility throughout the entire supply chain.</font></span></p>

<span lang="EN-US" style="text-indent:24pt;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif"><font size="4">Given the conference theme “IT ubiquitous and collaborative innovation,” we believe IT advances in cloud computing, ubiquitous computing, service computing, to name a few, are the meta-forces for supply chain innovation. Furthermore, the continuous IT growth shifts the dominant thinking of supply chain management toward the concepts of service, value co-creation, value networks, service propositions, market orientation, service ecosystem, and learning. </font></span><span lang="EN-US" style="text-indent:24pt;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif"><font size="4">This track seeks high-quality research that attempts to advance theory and application of IT in supply chain innovation using any research approach (action research, experimental, grounded theory, design science, case studies, survey research, theory development, prototyping, methodology development, etc.). Below can be seen a list of the examples, but not limit to, of possible topics:</font></span></p>
