The Fifth Workshop on e-Business (WEB 2006)
A Pre-ICIS Workshop Sponsored by AIS SIGeBIZ
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Theme: Real-World Impact of e-Business Research
-----------------------------------------------------------------
December 9, 2006, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA
Workshop Website: http://www.web2006.org
****************
Workshop Scope
****************
New advances in and applications of Information and Communication
Technologies continue to rapidly transform how business is done around the
world. An expanding array of Intranet and Internet-based applications is
being developed and deployed, spanning across virtually all business
functional areas. These e-business technologies and applications are also
enabling new business models, creating new industry sectors, and redefining
relations and processes within and across organizations.
The purpose of this workshop series is to provide an open forum for
e-business researchers and practitioners to share research findings,
explore novel ideas, discuss success stories and lessons learned, map out
major challenges, and collectively chart future directions of e-business.
The theme of this year's workshop is on "Real-World Impact of e-Business
Research." The thematic emphases for the past workshops (2002-2005) were
mobile commerce, Web services, dynamic and service-oriented e-business, and
Web-enabled business values, respectively. For this year, we feel strongly
that the time is ripe for the e-business research community to reflect to
what extent their research has been impacting business practice, to discuss
jointly with practitioners where the key e-business research challenges
lie, to encourage research projects that have clear and strong relevance to
e-business practice, and to prioritize collectively future research
directions. Research submissions along these lines are strongly encouraged.
****************************************
