Fast-Track Opportunities:
Best papers will be invited for a fast-track in the Information Systems 
Management (ISM) Journal.

Track description:
This track is a broad-based call for research aimed at managing and 
governing the design, development and continuous improvement of digital 
services in organizations. We seek to explore the status of IS research 
about the ways in which digital services across all industry sectors are 
best managed and governed. By this we in particular mean, how 
organizations ensure the extraction of value from digital services 
through effective strategy, design and development processes. This 
includes the general application and understanding of Service Management 
and Governance as well as how their ideas relate to digital services.

Example research questions:
How has digitalization changed the role/impact of widespread IT 
governance frameworks (e.g., ITIL, COBIT)?
How can organizations adapt their IT architecture and services 
governance to reflect rapidly changing environments?
With the broad adoption of work-home-from (WFH) during the Covid19 
pandemic, what are the implications for digital service providers (e.g., 
blurring boundaries between private and professional spaces/applications)
How does the servitization of products (towards smart products or 
product-service systems) influence the service landscape of organizations?

Topics of interest may include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Requirements engineering
- Digital service strategy
- Digital service design
- Digital service development and improvement
- Digital service evaluation and decision making
- Digital service control and audits
- Make or buy decisions
- Digital service platforms
- Digital service pricing
- Digital service performance metrics and maturity
- Digital service offerings and level agreements
- Digital service innovation management
- Digital service project and/or program management

Submission deadline: 19 January 2021
Notification of submission decision: 23 March 2021
