> Dear Colleagues,
>
> If you teach Business Analytics, you may be interested in this
> recorded webinar on an Innovative Method for Teaching Business
> Analytics: https://youtu.be/egJjKTWeh2w. In this webinar, we
> demonstrate a term-long project that simulates real life business
> analytics projects and how the Cross-Industry Standard Process for
> Data Mining (CRISP-DM) is incorporated in the pedagogical approach.
>
> We would also like to invite you to review our new text, Business
> Analytics: Communicating with Numbers, by Jaggia, Kelly, Lertwachara,
> and Chen, published by McGraw-Hill. The text was developed from the
> ground up and prepares students to understand, manage, and visualize
> the data, apply the appropriate analytic techniques and tools, and
> communicate the findings and their relevance. Using a project-based
> pedagogical approach, this text seamlessly threads the topics of data
> wrangling, descriptive analytics, predictive analytics or data mining,
> and prescriptive analytics into a cohesive whole. Hands-on
> instructions for Analytic Solver (Excel Add-in) and R are included in
> each chapter. The e-magazine
> (
> https://www.mheducation.com/highered/ideas/i/1201074-2019-flipbook-jaggia-business-analytics-communicating-with-numbers/0
> ?)
> provides a detailed look at the content of the text, including two
> sample chapters.

> Ambivalent Information Technologies (IT) are technologies that have the
> potential to both benefit and harm individuals, organizations, or society.
> Ambivalent IT includes a wide range of IT, such as smartphones, emails,
> social media technologies, wearables devices, big data technologies and
> artificial intelligence that despite providing significant benefits can
> overload individuals, undermine their sense of autonomy, cause security,
> privacy intrusion, or discrimination issues among others. In this way,
> ambivalent IT can elicit mixed attitudes and markedly different behaviors
> and outcomes for adopters and users. Accordingly, this mini track call for
> further research on the antecedents, processes/mechanisms, outcomes, and
> issues/challenges related to adoption and use of ambivalent IT and the
> potential impacts on various stakeholders (e.g. users, organizations, or
> society). It also invites research that provides suggestions to avoid or
> remedy the dark side and promote the bright side of ambivalent IT use.

> *Overview of Special Issue*
>
> Digital technology has been transforming how individuals, organizations,
> and societies use information to improve their decision making on their
> daily lives and daily operations. In recent years, the healthcare industry
> has also actively engaged in the adoption of digital technology and enabled
> the formation of digital health. The digital health covers lots of advanced
> technologies, such as mobile health (mHealth), health information
> technology (HIT), wearable devices, telehealth and telemedicine, health
> data analytics and personalized medicine (Lupton 2018). These technologies
> offer new exciting opportunities to improve medical outcomes, enhance
> efficiency and balance health resources.
>
> In particular, digital health can better collect, process and analyze
> health-related information, and provide decision support for patients,
> doctors, healthcare organizations, public health management and medical
> research (Guha and Kumar 2018). There are many positive and negative issues
> associated with the use of digital health by these stakeholders. On the one
> hand, digital health can empower patients to make better decisions about
> their own health and provide new options for facilitating prevention, early
> diagnosis, surveillance, management and prediction of chronic conditions
> outside traditional healthcare settings (Lin et al. 2017). Doctors can also
> get a more holistic view of patient health through access to data and
> improve quality of care (Lin et al. 2019). Pharmaceutical companies and
> digital health companies can also benefit from patient-generated knowledge
> for the advancement of medical research (Kallinikos and Tempini 2014) and
> the design of personalized healthcare interventions (Bernardi 2019). On the
> other hand, the integration of digital technology in the healthcare
> industry presents risks such as the spread of misinformation (e.g. anti-vax
> communities, Doty 2015), the disclosure of patients' privacy that could be
> used by health insurance companies to make discriminatory pricing (McFall
> and Moor 2018), increased doctors' technical anxiety and slow acceptance of
> digital health innovation (Bernardi and Exworthy 2019), and health
> inequalities due to the digital exclusion of patients (Latulippe et al.
> 2017; Halford and Savage 2010).
>
> The healthcare industry is one of the largest and also one of the most
> important industries for citizens? wellbeing. Addressing the complexities
> of today?s various negative and positive healthcare issues requires more
> than one perspective and needs more interdisciplinary collaboration and
> research. The rapid development of advanced technologies and methodologies
> such as social media, Internet of things (IoT) data analytics, machine
> learning, artificial intelligence (AI) brings lots of opportunities to
> handle the complicated problems in the healthcare industry. It makes it
> possible to improve people?s health conditions smartly and comfortably.
> However, the adoption of digital technology in health care usually lags
> behind other industries, as some major technological and managerial
> obstacles still remain (Bunduchi et al. 2015). Obstacles include the lack
> of health data integration, data overload issues, data privacy and
> security, and limited or inefficient data visualization (Agarwal et al.
> 2010). At the same time, academics need to address the issues related to
> the dark side and potential risks of digital health. This special issue
> aims to serve as a forum in which healthcare, computer science, management
> and social science scholars can come together to discuss new emerging
> issues related to the bright side and the dark side of digital health. It
> invites submissions from a variety of methodological, theoretical, and
> multidisciplinary perspectives. Theoretical work that engages critically

> Second International Workshop on Agile Transformation (ATRANS)
> Given the prevalence of and success with Agile in software development,
> companies are embarking on a process called ?Agile transformation? within
> IT functions, business units, or whole organizations. The First Workshop
> on Agile Transformation (ATRANS 2019) took place at XP 2019 and was the
> culmination of a week in which Agile transformation was identified as an
> increasingly relevant topic of research. During the workshop, the top three
> success factors for Agile transformation emerged as: ?changing
> organizational culture?, ?leadership? and ?engaging people?. Building on
> this work, and for this second instantiation of ATRANS, we challenge the
> scientific community to examine Agile transformation across IT functions,
> business units, or whole organisations, focusing in particular on the
> aspects of culture, leadership, people, and sustainability. We welcome both
> academic research and industry experience papers and will provide an
> interactive arena for knowledge sharing and exchange of experiences between
> academics and practitioners.
>
> The goal of the workshop is to share research on Agile transformation,
> in particular in the areas of culture, leadership and people. We are
> particularity interested in re-examining the transformation process and
> identifying key factors which enable or inhibit Agile transformations.
> Throughout the workshop, we will learn about practitioner experience and
> academic research.
>
> Topics of Interest
> The topics of interest to this year?s ATRANS include, but are not
> restricted to, the following:
>
> - Organizational agility
> - Culture, leadership, and people
> - Sustaining Agile practices during and beyond transformation
> - Enablers, impediments, and balancing conflicting demands
> - The rationale for initiating Agile transformation
> - Defining and measuring success of Agile transformation
> - Coordinating stakeholders
> - Tools and technologies
> - Evaluation
>
> Submissions will be first screened on rigor and relevance and then
> evaluated by members of the program committee based on soundness,
> significance, novelty, verifiability, and presentation quality.
>
> Guidelines
> All submissions must conform to the LNBIP formatting and submission
> instructions. See the instructions for authors here. There are two
> categories of papers:
> Experience from practice paper: Max 4 pages sharing experiences on
> agile transformation
> Research paper: Max 7 pages sharing research developments on agile
> transformation (included in conference proceedings)
> Both types of papers will be published in the post-conference
> proceedings, which will be archived by Springer (open access).
> By submitting to the ATRANS Workshop, authors acknowledge that they are
> aware of and agree that papers submitted must not have been published
> elsewhere and must not be under review or submitted for review
> elsewhere while under consideration for the ATRANS Workshop.
>
> Papers must be submitted electronically via EasyChair by March 17,
> 2020.
