___________________________________________________________________________ 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 2016 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?
Step #1: SUBMIT ABSTRACT Deadline: February 2018 All abstracts should be submitted electronically to SIM Director of Academic Affairs, Mary Sumner (msumner@siue.edu) and to Paper Competition Coordinator, Vanessa Smith (vsmith@simnet.org). Abstracts will be reviewed by the Paper Competition Committee and a subset of the submissions will be selected as finalists. Each author will be electronically notified of the outcome of their abstract submission by early June. All finalists will be asked to submit a full version of the paper. Step #2: SUBMIT FULL PAPER Deadline: TBA JUDGING CRITERIA Innovation: Are any new strategies and/or approaches described? Do they add to leading practices? Impact: Does the paper address the real problem? Is the problem solved or diminished? Is it a managerial (not technical) issue? Is a significant part of the organization impacted? What performance measures reflect success? Do principles exist that could enhance that body of information management knowledge? Re-applicability: Is the approach applicable to others? Can knowledge be transferred to others? Appeal and Readability: Is there broad interest in the problem across industries and cultures? Will the paper appeal to SIM membership? Is the paper brief, clear, and to the point? Is the paper written with empathy for the reader? The SIM 2018 Paper Competition winners will be announced in late August. If you have any questions regarding the SIM Paper Competition, please contact SIM VP for Academic Affairs, Mary Sumner (msumner@siue.edu) or Paper Competition Coordinator, Vanessa Smith (vsmith@simnet.org) |
