This track aims to present research that focuses on analyzing information systems in applied settings. Following a broad conception of information systems, these settings comprise business, individual and / or social contexts as well as the analysis of complex effects arising in these settings. On the one hand, insights on innovative solutions that lead to new beneficial business models and/or processes and services as well as studies on adoption and acceptance of these solutions are relevant. On the other hand, methodologies are of interest that guide the development, introduction and assessment of innovative solutions (e.g., design/hybrid thinking) based on new information technologies. The topics of the track include (but are not limited to):
- Prototypes based on innovative technologies and/or use cases
- Factors of success and failure in the introduction of innovative prototypes
- Use of prototypes and value assessment in development methods
- Innovative approaches to develop business-oriented prototypes
- Methods for determining the impact of IS on users, organizations, and society
- Linking benefits and risks in information systems deployment and implementation
- Theories, methods, and tools to support benefit assessment of prototypes and information systems
- Measurement of (digital) innovation and its effectiveness
- Discussion of transformation of specific industries (e.g., financial or health industry)
The Industry Track invites application-oriented contributions from research and practice, Conceptual approaches, field reports, and case studies of realized prototypes will be given equal consideration. However, all contributions in this track require some form of prototype (e.g., a prototype that has been designed or evaluated in a research project) that can be presented at the conference (e.g., live, as video or via a website). We also welcome research, for example, on methods for developing prototypes or measuring the impact of prototypes. Submissions in cooperation with industrial companies, which can also be co-authors on the paper, are welcome. In case of doubt, please approach one of the track chairs to discuss your paper.
