Track: Economics and Value of Information Systems
Minitrack: IT/IS Evaluation & Performance Measurement


DESCRIPTION

Annual worldwide spending on information technology (IT) and information 
systems (IS) has been increasing for many years. For 2011, Gartner expects 
the total expenditure on IT to reach 2.5 trillion US dollars (Gartner 
2010). Simultaneously, however, a greater number of IS failures are still 
emerging. The measurement of investments and developed systems’ success, 
as well as the paradox of high investments and low productivity returns 
(“productivity paradox”) (Brynjolfsson 1993) therefore remains a top 
concern for both practitioners and researchers. During the last two and a 
half decades, research on measuring IS success – the clarification of an 
important dependent variable in IS research – has been a popular stream of 
research. A number of models have been proposed in attempts to define IS 
success (e.g., DeLone and McLean 1992, 1993) and identify the various 
causes of success or failure respectively, mostly from an individual 
perspective. Complementary, the research stream on the business value of 
IT (e.g., Kohli and Grover 2008, Melville et al. 2004) has focused on the 
benefits from a broader – in most cases the organizational – perspective. 
Researchers and practitioners interested in submitting papers to this 
minitrack are encouraged to present their research into strategies, 
methodologies, tools, and stories that relate to the evaluation of IT/IS 
and IS/IT performance measurement.
