Dear Colleagues,

We invite you to submit your work to:
HICSS-52 MINI-TRACK: Business Intelligence, Business Analytics and Big Data: Innovation, Deployment and Management

Recent developments and the evolution of data and technologies in the business intelligence (BI) and business analytics (BA) space has given rise to new opportunities for individuals, organizations and society. As a result of digitization and digital transformation organizations are facing various challenges, covering the whole life cycle of BI/BA/big data applications and projects. Emerging trends such as the internet of things, machine learning and cognitive analytics encourage, but also urge companies to identify new use cases, applications and business models taking advantage of (big) data and analytics. To close the gap between potential and real benefits of BI/BA/big data more research on their deployment is needed in terms of artifacts such as methods, reference architectures, etc. as well as theoretical and conceptual underpinnings. Finally, operations and continuous enhancement of BI/BA/big data applications encompass management tasks considering strategic, economic, legal and ethical issues.

Meanwhile, there is an ongoing major shift in the industry of organizations leveraging pervasive, self-service analytics. The push for self-service analytics that include a portfolio of analysis tools, algorithms and visualizations has enabled agile decision making through effective business insights. In addition, the growth in this space has led to societal implications as the social impact of big data and analytics are felt more strongly and benefits underdeveloped and underrepresented parts of the globe. The evolution and innovation experienced has created a state of excitement and flux in the BI, analytics and big data space. Starting from a rich historic advancement in decision support systems, to more recently big data, internet of things, machine learning and cognitive analytics, this space continues to present a wide variety of research questions and challenges for researchers to explore.

This minitrack, now in its 29th year, is the longest running HICSS minitrack related to business intelligence, business analytics and more recently big data, that continues to rise in relevance to both academia and practice. Its main focus remains on the organizational issues of BI/BA and big data implementations, rather than the data science and IT perspectives. This particular focus, as well as its long history of research embedded in Decision Support Systems and other research predecessors of contemporary BI/A, creates a minitrack with a rich comprehensive view of organizational issues.
This minitrack will accept contributions from the fields of theory building, design research (methods and models), action research as well as analyses of existing or innovative applications are welcome. We invite papers that investigate topics which include, but are not limited to, the following:
