AMCIS 2013 CFP Mini-Track: Enterprise System Adoption and Business Models
and New Technologies
Chicago, Illinois, USA, August 15-17, 2013
Deadline for submissions: 22nd of Fabruary 2013
Enterprise systems (ES) are extremely complex software packages designed
for integrating data flow across an entire company, emerged from earlier
MRP, MRP II and ERP systems. Over time, ES have expanded to include more
and more areas of an organization?s operations, and have extended
organizational boundaries and support interorganizational activities.
Frequently, the adoption of an ES is an enormous challenge for an
organization, due to system complexity, organizational context and the
people involved in the implementation project. Usually, ES adoption is a
long and multi-stage process during which various problems and
complications may occur. Moreover, ES adoption projects typically involve
a large number of stakeholders representing different departments, various
organizational hierarchies, and often external companies operating in
various industries. These stakeholders may have conflicting interests, and
their own definitions of project success.
Providers of enterprise systems have traditionally relied on strong
revenues from maintenance fees, in addition to license revenue. Nowadays,
shorter product lifecycles, rising consulting revenues, Open Source
Software and SaaS are impacting their business models. ES providers have
the challenge of delivering systems which are highly customizable software
products, able to fit the needs of a variety of adopters. This might be
important since, as prior research suggests, the issue of alignment
between ES and adopting organizations is one of the determinants of
successful enterprise system implementation.
This mini-track invites papers that examine various aspects related to the
determinants of ES success and business models. Both empirical and
theoretical papers are invited. The general research questions addressed
in this mini-track can be formulated as follows: What are the mechanisms
determining successful ES adoption? What are the underlying business
models of companies delivering successfully adaptable ES? What kind of
business models exist?
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Motivation and justification for ES adoption,
Alignment between ES and adopting organization,
Barriers and impediments to ES adoption success,
Risk factors in ES adoption,
Critical failure factors for ES adoption,
Critical success factors for ES adoption,
Understanding of ES adoption success,
Multi-cultural and multi-national issues,
Multiple stakeholder perspective in ES adoption and use,
Business model frameworks for ES providers,
Impact of new trends within the software industry on business models,
Business model innovation for standard software companies,
Implications of shorter product lifecycles on business models,
SaaS related business models,
Open source software related business models.
