Theme: the conference will be hosted by the Centre for Innovation
and Structural Change (CISC) at the National University of Ireland,
Galway. The conference focus is on how IT innovation can contribute
to making organizations more resilient. Commercial organizations
are trying to make sense of the competitive environment and quickly
generate new strategic options. Public organizations are struggling
to meet societal needs for innovative information services.
IT staff have spent much of their energy improving transactional
efficiency. IT now needs to be seen as a positive force for making
business innovation resilient. We invite the submission of papers,
panels and posters to the upcoming IFIP Working Group 8.6 Conference.
The conference focus is on how IT innovation can contribute to making
organizations more resilient.
