TRACK DESCRIPTION:
The significant development in information, telecommunication
and networking technologies (e.g., EDI, Internet, Mobile
Networking, ERP, Customer Relationship Management
Systems,EURetc) has opened up innovatory possibilities for many
organizations to re-evaluate their networkability and
coordination mechanisms within and across their business
boundaries. While the terms EURoenetworkingEUR and
EURoeintegrationEUR have been strongly shaped by the focus on
information and communication technologies (ICT), their
application have rapidly evolved to cover broader aspects
related to managing relationships, processes and transactions
along the organizational supply chain. This has been coupled
with a real departure from a functionally-based modus operandi
to one which is based on agility, flexibility, responsiveness
and mass customization. However, this total shift cannot be
effectively achieved unless other modern management tools (e.g.,
Business Reengineering, Process Management, Supply Chain
Management, Knowledge Management, Change Management, EURetc) are
embraced in a complementary and integrative manner. Clearly, for
an organization to operate with a truly networked and integrated
infrastructure, a holistic, process-oriented business
transformation has to take place. This transformation involves
the challenging task of reconciling both technological and
organizational imperatives in one unified strategy, and the
changing of business architecture to reflect the new roles,
responsibilities and relationships that would serve the new
fabric of the transformed organization. It is becoming more
evident that the winners in the current and future
digitally-based, globally-oriented competitive market will be
those who excel in such an integrated transformation. However,
not many organizations are finding it easy to achieve a mature
and comprehensive experience with their transformational
efforts. At the heart of this problem is the scarcity of studies
that address this critical issue from a broad and global
perspective through properly investigated research.
RECOMMENDED TOPICS:
Papers (completed or in-progress: about 20 double spaced pages),
extended abstracts (completed or in-progress research: about 4-6
