[Frank Ulbrich]

CALL FOR PAPERS

18th Americas Conference on Information Systems
Seattle, Washington, August 9-12, 2012

Track: End-user information systems, innovation, and change
Minitrack: Organizational routines, work processes, and employee
performance 


DESCRIPTION

Today's world is information and knowledge driven. Novel information and
communications technologies are enabling organizations to work
differently. Accessing new technologies such as tablet computers, smart
phones, or Web 2.0 applications potentially allow people in
organizations to work more effectively and more efficiently. In other
words, they are expected to work smarter and perform better.

This minitrack seeks to further our understanding of how disruption,
persistence, and dynamic reconstitution of organizational routines
resulting from the discontinuous technological change brought about by
the introduction of novel technologies in organizations.


SUGGESTED TOPICS

Contributed papers may deal with, but are not limited to, the following
topics:

- Attempts within organizations to instantiate new intra-organizational
communication and information sharing routines
- Implications of the adoption of disruptive organizational routines
- Reflections and experiences from practice (for practitioners'
contributions to the minitrack)
- Studies on how embedded structures of organizations enable or
constrain the successful deployment and use of new technologies
