SIM 2018 Paper Competition
Each year, the Society for Information Management recognizes innovative business initiatives that use IT to drive measurable results.
If you have researched an important and successful IT-related business initiative, the SIM 2018 Paper Competition Committee invites you to submit an abstract describing this initiative. The work described must be implemented and it must have had a significant impact on the organization involved. Winning papers will be a collaboration between academics and practitioners. Since SIM’s focus is toward executive management, the work should describe an initiative of interest to senior IS executives.
WHY ENTER THE COMPETITION?
This is an excellent way to gain widespread recognition and visibility for exemplary IT leadership and to highlight the impacts of IT in firms applying IT strategically. Recognition will be given to up to two papers at SIM Connect Live in April, 2018 and all winning papers will be featured on SIMnet. In addition, the authors of the first and second place papers will be asked to present their papers at SIMposium. All winning papers will also be considered for publication in MISQ Executive, although some reformulation may be required to meet academic journal guidelines. All finalists selected from the initial review will be invited to submit a full version of the paper by the above deadline. Your paper could describe the system, approach, or method used. The work described should be presented in a case study format and clearly describe the problem or opportunity, the environment where the situation existed, what was done, why it was significant, the measurable results and what others can learn from the presented material. Topic tutorials or new technology descriptions alone are NOT being sought for this competition. Please note: SIM reserves the right to distribute your paper upon submission.
