Call for Papers

ICITIE is organized by IICREST – Interdisciplinary Institute for Collaboration and Research on Enterprise Systems and Technology
SCOPE

The International Conference on IT-enabled Innovation in Enterprise aims to provide a premier forum for the presentation and discussion of business and organisational innovation associated with Information Technology (IT).

In a global and interconnected economy of the 21st century innovation management is an important aspect for enterprise sustainability and survival. Over the last years the topic has attracted large interest from research and practitioners alike. An organisation’s competitive advantage depends on the ability of its people, processes, and systems to manage innovation and seek sustainability. Innovation Management has been discussed and examined from a variety of perspectives, including behavioural, managerial, strategic and technological. In this regard, information technology and technology innovation are frequently referred as enablers and facilitators of innovation.

With this conference we intend to complement the mostly behavioural and technology centred discussion on innovation. The aim of this conference is to examine how information technology enables and generates innovation and thus provides value to enterprises. The goal of this conference is to discuss and share best practices, experiences, models, methods and tools for innovation and enterprise renewal.

The conference seeks contributions on real-world business and organisational applications, management concepts, models, methods and tools associated with information technology enabled innovation. In this regard, we encourage the submission of design science research for innovation management in the form of constructs, models, methods and instantiations. In-line with the aim of this conference, contributions must highlight the value and innovation driven by information technology in enterprise.

The idea of the conference is to provide a forum and platform for both researchers and practitioners to exchange knowledge, ideas and to learn from each other. Practitioners and researchers present findings and experience. In addition to the official program, there is plenty of opportunity for informal discussions and networking.

We invite contributions from industry, academia and collaborative research as well as encourage postgraduate researchers to submit their work. Submissions may be any of the following: research papers, short papers, research in progress, case studies, teaching cases or experience reports.
