Final Call For Papers - Deadline June 15
Minitrack: Enterprise Ecosystems: The Integrated Enterprise, Levels of 
Information Systems Research (Process, Enterprise-, Ecosystem- & 
Industry-Level) 
57th Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences 
(HICSS-57) 3 - 6. Januar 2024. Waikiki, Hawaii, USA

Mini-Track Description:
The changing needs of corporate strategy and business forces, mean that 
corporate systems must continuously and quickly evolve. Yet, Enterprise 
Information Systems (EIS) enterprise-level IS (ES) is investigated less 
frequently than the investigation of individual and team/workgroup level 
IS design and use.  Enterprise IS has many levels, processes, interfaces 
and interactions so they may be studied on different levels. Complexity 
and boundary spanning are inherent in Enterprise systems which may require 
analysis at from different points of view and from multiple perspectives.  

While integration is often sought.  Slightly different but related are the 
industry-level perspective and the ecosystem perspective. 

The synergies between ES studies and these related fields have been 
under-researched as they are traditionally have been treated separately. 
ES (such as ERP, CRM and the like) have long played an important role as 
operational backbone of most organizations. With the increasing complexity 
of today’s business relationships, the management of backstage integration 
as well as a flexible way of decoupling between backstage and frontstage 
ES are gaining importance. 

The challenge to integrate technological innovations and adapt business 
processes within the organization and between organizations continues. 
Extending and enhancing an EIS with new innovations and interface brings 
many challenges on an enterprise-level and inter-organizational 
ecosystem-level. The integration of business processes and systems within 
and between companies remains complicated and difficult. The challenge for 
organizations includes both internal and external integration challenges, 
but also must explore the establishment of new IT infrastructure business 
models.

This mini-track seeks to explore current issues surrounding the evolution 
of the integrated IS both from an academic and practitioner perspective. 
We welcome all themes related to internal and external integration of 
information systems. 
This mini-track spans many topics below (but is not limited to):
        •       strategic initiatives and impacts
        •       implementation, operations, cost management
        •       data governance and management with and across enterprises
        •       productivity and impact on corporate profitability
        •       Administration, internal controls, and assurance issues
        •       social effects, change management, human interfaces and 
change management 
        •       business processes, project and process management
        •       inter-organizational, supply chain logistics
        •       integrating emerging technologies into the core of 
enterprise information systems
        •       architectures, cloud and platform-approaches of EIS
        •       risk assessment and management, cybersecurity and threats 
to the ecosystem

The mini-track will constitute a forum for the following topics on an 
enterprise-level, ecosystem-level and industry-level:
•   Design and management of enterprise-wide Systems (e.g., emergent 
technologies and innovations, telemetry devices, IoT, Robotic Process 
Automation (RPA), Business Process Mining, User Behavior Mining)
•   Industry-specific design and adoption of enterprise-wide systems
•   Reference models for enterprise-wide systems and processes
•   Approaches for enterprise application integration
•   Enterprise architecture management
•   Enterprise-wide and cross-enterprise coordination (e.g., design 
principles, data standards, governance in digital platform-based business 
networks)
•   Interoperability of enterprise-wide systems within the firm and along 
the supply-chain
•   The role of enterprise-wide systems to support decisions (data-driven 
decisions)
•   Decision support for managerial decision-making on enterprise-wide 
systems (e.g., cloud vs. on-premise vs. hybrid, costs and benefits of 
ERP/Cloud/ SOA installations, total cost of ownership (TCO) or true cost 
of ERP, cloud hosted and extended ERP operations, switching vendors or 
moving to cloud-based ERP)
•   Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in Enterprise-wide 
systems (sales, procurement, logistics, financial accounting, master data 
management)
•   Enterprise-wide Systems as digital platforms: Openness of systems, new 
level of modularity of enterprise-wide systems
•   Processes and workflows in enterprise-wide systems (workflow 
management systems as part of enterprise-wide systems, Business Process 
Modeling (BPM) and process management innovation in the enterprise 
ecosystem)
•   Data management on enterprise-level (information logistics management, 
corporate data management, data current and emerging data management 
infrastructures, data platforms)
•   Emerging business models for the enterprise as enabled by technology 
(e.g., platform business models)

All research methods welcomed: Submissions may include, but are not 
limited to research papers (conceptual, theoretical, and empirical 
studies), as well as case studies, and best practices with actionable 
managerial guidance. Both explanatory/descriptive and design research 
studies are invited.
