Call for Papers

*Information Systems Management*

Special Issue on Business Value of Data Analytics





Submission deadline extended to *December 31, 2020*






*Scope and purpose*



The increasing ubiquity of big data and data analytics is transforming
business by changing the way we design, produce and consume products and
services. These shifts have altered business processes and impacted entire
industries. Furthermore, the abrupt global transition to socializing,
 shopping, teaching and working online has fundamentally changed how
organizations conduct their business, and the assumptions underlying their
analytics models. Security concerns have intensified with the rapid growth
of online business activity. Therefore, it is necessary to re-assess the
business value of data analytics in organizations, and consider altering
existing models or developing new ones.



The special issue seeks to publish papers that extend our understanding of
how businesses use data analytics to create value. Potential topics of
interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

   - Empirical studies on the business value of analytics
   - How different types of analytics add business value
   - How big data enables advanced analytics
   - The role of technology staff members in facilitating end-user analytics
   - Potential risks to the organization or to users from business analytics
   - What prevents companies from realizing value from analytics?
   - Existing and emergent organizational structures best suited for
   analytics
   - Which analytics techniques and methods provide the greatest business
   value?
   - Fairness and ethical aspects of using big data and data analytics
   - Novel theories or frameworks that advance the understanding of
   business analytics
   - Will analytics be a tool for disruptive innovation?
   - What has changed in terms of data analytics under the current Covid-19
   pandemic circumstances? Apply before and after analytics models
   - Business analytics and working from home: opportunities and barriers
   to efficient/ effective business activities
   - Case studies describing novel and interesting data analytics
   processes, emphasizing business value





Submitted papers must be written in good English and describe original
research that has not been published nor is currently under review by other
journals. The guest editors welcome manuscripts using a wide range of
methodologies including analysis of published data, surveys/interviews,
model construction, and analysis of prior literature. Papers will be
evaluated based on their originality, presentation, relevance and
contribution to research and development of big data and data analytics.
The guest editors will check the suitability and scope of each submission
before sending it out for peer review. Prospective authors are welcome to
email an abstract to one of the guest editors for preliminary feedback on
the appropriateness of their planned manuscript.
