Abstract
ABSTRACT This paper examines some of the issues for research needs from information systems and information technology researchers, elicited as part of the COVID-19 pandemic. We investigate a number of issues, including facilitating work while social distancing, contactless commerce, person recognition, when wearing masks or in other crisis situations, COVID-19 apps and their impact on issues such as privacy, crowdsourcing, donating data, tracking cases, etc. We also investigate the notion of people that have had COVID-19 and thus may not be vulnerable to the disease, versus, those that are still vulnerable to the disease. In addition, we examine several supply chain issues, such as changing patterns of supply and demand, fragile supply chains and autonomic supply chains. Further, we investigate a number of emerging issues and the roles of data, big data, and analytics in the area of changing and evolving work and their impact on organizations and electronic commerce. Finally, we conclude with a consideration of the merging of life and work and the issue of work–life balance.
期刊介绍:
The aim of the Journal of Organizational Computing and Electronic Commerce (JOCEC) is to publish quality, fresh, and innovative work that will make a difference for future research and practice rather than focusing on well-established research areas.
JOCEC publishes original research that explores the relationships between computer/communication technology and the design, operations, and performance of organizations. This includes implications of the technologies for organizational structure and dynamics, technological advances to keep pace with changes of organizations and their environments, emerging technological possibilities for improving organizational performance, and the many facets of electronic business.
Theoretical, experimental, survey, and design science research are all welcome and might look at:
• E-commerce
• Collaborative commerce
• Interorganizational systems
• Enterprise systems
• Supply chain technologies
• Computer-supported cooperative work
• Computer-aided coordination
• Economics of organizational computing
• Technologies for organizational learning
• Behavioral aspects of organizational computing.
