Trends in Big Data analytics has spurred the innovations in using large scale heterogeneous data to facilitate business operations. This leads to the advancements of business intelligence and analytics (BIA), which integrate sophisticated technologies and techniques in analyzing business data to aid in business decision making. We welcome papers on various aspects of business intelligence and analytics, including case studies, critical analyses on BIA strategies, practices, techniques, and technologies that advance the understanding and practice of BIA.

Social media is distinctive compared to earlier forms of collaborative technologies as it allows self-curated user profiles, accessible digital content and an articulation of a user’s social network. Apart from enhancing connectivity among people, social media has behaviour-structuring effects that warrant a new evaluation of collective behaviour. Given the prevalence of social media underpinned by improved Internet infrastructures and affordable devices, social media has been applied widely in information sharing, expressing opinions, team collaboration, social commerce, grassroots mobilization, narrative shaping, entrepreneurial taking etc.
More importantly, the use of social media has wide-ranging and multi-dimensional impacts. The impact on individuals, businesses or society at large can be intended or unintended, positive or negative. For instance, while it allows free expression of speech, it permits cyberbullying. While organizations can benefit from social media analytics for precise marketing, consumers cry for privacy protection. While social media enables oppressed communities to wage an online war against unfairness, it might lead to a society of aggravated emotions with little understanding of the real cause of issue. These dilemmas open up a space for IS researchers to examine not only the transformative potential of social media, but also the management of such an open platform for collaboration, marketing, entrepreneurial action, crowdsourcing etc.
We invite submissions related to the application and management of IS in addressing the above mentioned issues. Given its inclusive nature, this track is open to all methodological approaches; empirical (qualitative and quantitative), design-oriented research and conceptual papers on theory development, at various levels of analysis (individual, group, process, organization, government, and society).

Digital business, governance, and service enabled by digital technology and applications has become an indispensable strategic component of almost all aspeces across multiple domains. Today, companies depend on computers networks, various digital devices and technologies (such as tablet, smartphone, desktop, RFID tag, sensor, social media, Internet of Things, and big data technologies) in order to plan, manage, market, monitor, control, enhance and innovate various business strategies, operations, products and services. The pervasiveness of mobile and electronic business has created tremendous opportunities for non-traditional players and start-ups to enter emerging markets, which has presented challenges for incumbents in traditional industries. Thus, this track encourages the submission of manuscripts that reflect the state of the art in digital technologies, with an emphasis on their impact on (1) individuals, teams, organizations, governments, and society; (2) relationships among participating parties; and (3) business and societal transformation. We call for theoretical and empirical research papers that use rigorous and innovative qualitative, quantitative or mixed methods to investigate the phenomenon of digital technology and business.

Recent technological developments such as social media, the Internet of Things (IOT), cloud computing, blockchain and big data offer promising opportunities to transform industrial landscapes and organizational services. However, the true value of such developments can be only realized when there is successful implementation, adoption, and diffusion of these technologies. Information Systems (IS) adoption is one of the most researched themes in IS, with studies examining a wide range of technologies, adopters, and contexts using quantitative and qualitative research methods. Yet, continuous challenges abound with the constant flux of new IT applications such as big data, cloud computing, end-user computing, IOT and social media. New trends in societies, economies, and politics throughout the globe such as Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD), customer innovations, IoT, globalization, and environmental sustainability also demand novel and agile behavioral and technical approaches to the implementation, adoption and diffusion of IS. This track welcomes papers that fresh theoretical and methodological perspectives on IS implementation, adoption, and diffusion. We look forward to submissions that advance empirical and theoretical understanding, while also contributing to the practical management of IS.

Security and privacy issues associated with information systems are leading to significant challenges for individuals, small and large firms, and policy makers. The growth of spurious activity on the Internet is demanding a corresponding growth in security and privacy protection activities. While there is an abundance of practices and techniques focusing on the technical aspects of security and privacy controls, there continues to be many challenges, especially with regard to understanding the underlying behavioral theories and economic interests that are augmenting rigorous managerial practice in information security and privacy. This has led to discussions focusing on a range of IS security and privacy issues.
Through this track, we seek to address important issues arising from emerging developments in information security. Examples include the influence of risk and system security controls on sharing in an economy, mitigation strategies directed at managing vulnerabilities and exploits, the role of digital enablement in combating security vulnerabilities and privacy concerns, the threats posed by online media on the security and privacy of users, the economic and cultural implications of new security technologies, the effectiveness of government sponsored initiatives, and the influence of regulation and policies on employee security behaviors and organizational security measures.

Organisations making investments in costly and complex Information Systems are under increasing pressure to justify the value of such investments. Given the emergence of new technologies and platforms the value of IS/IT as part of a digital strategy is recognised as being derived from the redesign of the business processes and organisational structures rather than the implementation of new technology. Against this backdrop, enterprise systems, IS/IT project management, outsourcing, and business process management remain important topics for IS researchers. Furthermore, theories must now include the dynamic processes for determining user interactions and utilising advanced technologies in a non-passive environment. Our track welcomes quality submissions that inform novel conceptualisations and applications of technology integration, business process management, and the logical organisation of people, in addition to studies of emerging organizational and social issues associated with IS/IT project management, outsourcing, enterprise systems and business process management.

Based on the development of smart technologies and the advent of new observation capabilities, massive and heterogeneous datasets are collected in a variety of domains including transport, mobility, health care, energy, and telecommunications. Within such context, Data Science aims to address the underlying scientific challenges associated to the enhancement of these large datasets with the purpose to extract knowledge from data, build real time decision-making tools and create high value- added services for citizens. Many scientific challenges can be mentioned ranging from storage, preprocessing, mining, visualizing massive, heterogeneous and complex datasets. In that sense, Data Science includes different fields such as machine learning, statistics, optimization and visualization. The purpose of this track is to bring together researchers who develop, investigate or apply data science approaches in the context of real-world applications.
