CALL FOR PAPERS
Monday, December 14, 2009, 12:30-5 PM
J.W. Marriot Desert Ridge Resort Phoenix, Arizona
According to a Gartner Forecast, worldwide end-user spending on IT services will grow at a 6.4% compound annual growth rate through 2010 to reach US$855.6 billion, with positive growth in nearly all market segments (Babaie, et al., 2006). Service-oriented thinking is one of the fastest growing paradigms in IT and IS (Demirkan et al. 2008). It is a paradigm that reinforces the value of distributed software processes, services, commoditization, reuse, and coordination. Service thinking offers benefits such as end-to-end enterprise connectivity through software by removing redundancies, generating unified collaboration tools, and streamlining IT processes. Robust research is needed in the appropriate management and organizational contexts related to services innovation, design, quality, architecture, delivery, execution, and the resulting customer satisfaction and business value. The goal of this workshop is to explore the challenges of moving to a services orientation. You are invited to contribute research papers, panel presentations and industry abstracts according to the following deadlines:
