Event description
SCBI 15 is intended to be a highly interactive workshop and will be co-located with the 17th IEEE Conference on Business Informatics (CBI 2015) in Lisbon, Portugal, on July 13-16, 2015.
Aims
SCBI is pracademic in nature and intends to attract exploratory and thought-provoking contributions from academia and industry alike. The aims of the workshop are twofold:
- The workshop welcomes contributions focusing specifically on human, social, cultural, and organizational aspects of business informatics related topics.
- The workshop also intends to instigate more self-reflection within the business informatics discipline about the way in which the afore-mentioned considerations are addressed in research: e.g. what topics are inside and what are outside of business informatics; what paradigmatic positions are pertinent to study the variety of topics in the field?
Topics
We encourage both academics and practitioners to share their ongoing research, reflections, as well as their insights from practical experiences. The suggested topics include but are not limited to:
- Human behavior as a challenge/opportunity for business informatics (BI) in practice
- The role of societal and organizational considerations in BI research and practice
- Challenges/opportunities of modeling human behavior in enterprises
- How to model an enterprise for different stakeholder groups
- Social aspects of enterprise transformation
- Social considerations in enterprise architecture
- Cultural considerations in business-IT alignment
- The impact of intra-organizational politics on the success of BI instruments
- Methodological approaches to study behavioral phenomena in the context of BI
- Reflections of research paradigms (e.g. interpretive, constructive)
- The effect of employee diversity on the use/success of BI instruments.
