Callfor Papers

Enterprisesystems (ES) represent one of the major investment decisions of many public orprivate, large or medium-sized organizations. Organizations expect positiveoutcomes such as increased efficiency, effectiveness, and a better ability toface the competitive pressures. Organizations see improving business processesat both the organizational and inter-organizational levels, achievingstandardization but also agility, and promoting business innovation as some ofthe means to reach those objectives.

ESalso come with major challenges for organizations, which are for example arewilling to integrate on premise and Cloud applications and services and arelooking for articulating ES with Big Data or Analytics features. Organizationsalso recognize the capability of ES to contribute to digital transformations,allowing or inducing changes to their IS infrastructure, work processes, decisionstructures, or business models. 

Inspite of those ES capabilities and opportunities, organizations still oftenfind it difficult and risky to realize ES benefits in practice. The design,implementation, integration within work practices, and maintenance of theselarge integrated applications still represent major technical andorganizational challenges. They require new ways of thinking about businessprocesses, system development, and enterprise architecture but also workpractices, cultures and identities. 


WorkshopObjectives

Inresponse to those practical concerns, the primary objective of the workshop isto provide an open and constructive discussion forum of important ES research.The authors are particularly encouraged to leverage novel theoreticalperspectives and approaches to better understand, the design, implementation issues,and consequences of ES for people, work, and organizations. The organizingcommittee intends to employ the workshop to identify new ES research domainsand to share and develop innovative approaches of ES research. 


Topics

Wewelcome qualitative, quantitative, mixed methods, conceptual works and papersthat examine research methods appropriate for ES research. We encouragesubmissions from researchers representing all ontological perspectives. Ourintention is to provide a forum for bringing together researchers with similarinterests both to share their current work and to plan future directions forthe field. We also hope to stimulate future collaboration in researchdevelopment.

Topicsof interest include, but are not limited to:

·       Technology Enhancements and ES, e.g. RFID, Web Services, VirtualReality, Mobile Applications, Portal Technology, and Workflow Management 

·      Business Intelligence,Knowledge Management in ES 

·       Data Analytics and ES

·       Organizational Change, Culture and Organizational Learning 

·       Organizational and Business Impacts of ES 

·       Organizational issues related to the integration of ES and ITinfrastructures 

·       Social and Behavioral issues related with ES implementation and use. 

·      Decision structures,information governance and ES

·       ES and Digital Transformations: implications for work contents, people,processes and technologies. 

·      Inter andIntra-organizational interaction of ES 

·       Extended Enterprise Systems selection, implementation and usage issues

·       Alignment of business, process and IS architecture 

·       Cross-country comparisons of ES design, implementation, use andpost-adoption. 

·       ES, social networking and collaboration

·      Challenges and issuesof ES in Cloud computing environments

·      New directions inEnterprise Systems
