BT1: IS and IM in Value-Generating Networks for Renewable Resources

The official Call for Papers for this session is available here: Call for Papers BT1

Description

The modern IT and the innovative information systems (IS) are capable of supporting the business processes and of contributing to the overcoming of the challenges such as reduction of uncertainty in quantity and quality of renewable resources; optimization of material flows and improvement of resource efficiency; fulfillment of legislative requirements etc. For the complete exhaustion of potentials it is necessary, to consider the support of information systems not only in single enterprises, but in the value-generating network (from forestry and agriculture up to the consumers) as a whole. The science and industry are working on how IS and information management (IM) can contribute to meet the requirements in value-generating networks for renewable resources and how they can be implemented. We convene papers, which explain potentials of IS and IM in value-generating networks for renewable resources from different perspectives such as data exchange within one and between companies, companywide and intercompany acquisition of data, supply chain management, production planning and control, reporting, management of material flows, governance of network IT etc. Papers from attendees with a practical background concerning the IS-support and IM in value-generating networks for renewable resources are also welcome.
