CALL FOR PAPERS AMCIS'2015
21st Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS)
Mini-Track "Workarounds: the dark or the bright side of IT-enabled
agility?"
August 13-15, 2015, Puerto Rico (http://amcis2015.aisnet.org)
Deadline for paper submissions: February 25, 2015
****************************************************************************
TRACK DESCRIPTION
IT-enabled agility enables organizations to quickly mitigate threats to
existing competitive advantages and to seize opportunities for future
competitive advantages. IT-enabled agility grounds in a flexible use of
IT. Workarounds have been recognized as an important unit of analysis to
study the effect and boundaries of IT-enabled agility. Workarounds are an
interdisciplinary phenomenon and are being discussed in a variety of
contexts such as management control systems, compliance, governance, and
security. However, the relationship of workarounds and performance
implications (e.g., innovation, flexibility, loss of control, facades of
compliance) is still unclear. Important questions remains unanswered: How
do managers anticipate the performance implications of workarounds? How do
design variants of information systems prohibit or create opportunities
for workarounds? How can organizations ensure flexibility while
maintaining control? What are the short-term and long-term implications of
workarounds?
The purpose of the mini-track is to provide an interdisciplinary forum for
researchers from many contexts to share and discuss insights on
workarounds. The mini-track seeks rigorous conceptual, empirical as well
as design-oriented research and seeks both emergent research paper
(research-in-progress) as well as full papers.
TOPICS OF INTEREST
The objective of the workshop is to establish a state-of-the-art of the IS
discipline?s understanding of workarounds. Topics for this mini-track
include but are not limited to the following:
? antecedents and consequences of workarounds
? strategies for handling workarounds
? deviations in the use of IT (e.g., shadow IT, non-compliance,
security violations, rule-breaking, bootlegging, fraud, resistance, BYOD)
? workaround motives
? temporality and institutionalization of workarounds
? workarounds as source of innovation
? perception of workarounds (employee and management)
? design of workaround-aware information systems
? case studies on workarounds
