LCSSBTM 2013 - International workshop on Large-scale communication systems in search of better theories and methods

IS projects frequently exceed the boundaries of a single organisation. Enterprise systems more and more often contain interorganisational elements, and digital collaboration takes place at a seemingly ever-increasing scale. However, these cross-organisational IT projects require a different approach with different concepts, strategies and methods. That is why large-scale information infrastructures often fail and sometimes even backfire. The assessment framework of Chain-computerisation (Grijpink, 2010) enables reducing these often costly mistakes. With the results of a chain analysis, a chain information strategy can be defined focused on the development and maintenance of chain information systems. An organisation strategy can be derived from the chain analysis results, as well.
With this workshop, we hope to further the debate on concepts, theories and methods for improving the chances of large-scale, interorganisational IT projects.
