Welcome to
WISE 2010!
The
Workshop on Information Systems Economics (WISE) , now in its 21st
successive year, is the premier invitational research forum for the
discussion of information systems issues through the lens of economics.
As major global economies try to find their way out of
the
downturn, IT is leaving an unmistakable stamp in seperating out winners
from losers at the national, industry and firm level. An
increasingly interconnected world implies radical pricing transparency,
new networks of consumers, many from emerging BRICS markets,
opportunities for labor arbitrage and disruptive
changes in
consumer behavior. These factors make it a fascinating time
to be a WISE researcher!
We welcome new and interesting research on topics ranging from, but not
limited to:
- Business value of IT
- IT, productivity and organizational
complements
- Economic value of enterprise IT
- Societal value of IT
- The role of social networks and Web 2.0 in
reducing frcitions and increasing intra-organizational information flows
- Economics of Enterprise 2.0
- Electronic markets -- issues of efficiency and
mechansim design
- Online auctions - issues of trust, simultaniety
and competing auctions
- Digital goods related issues from pricing to
bundling to versioning
- Digital piracy and IP protection
- Human capital issues and economics of IT labor
- Mobile - penetration, societal benefit, and
user generated content
- Business and societal value of IT in BRICS
countries
- Outsourcing and offshoring of IT and IT enabled
services (BPO)
- Antritrust and intellectual property
rights in IT
- Platform competition, standards and two sided
networks
- IT in healthcare
- Network externalities in digital prodcuts and
services
- Methodological advances in identifying causal
linkages
- Predictive modeling in economics of IS
The above mentioned issues could be analyzed using analytical,
empirical, experimental, computational or a combination of
these methodolgies.
