25+ Years of Business Intelligence and Analytics Minitrack at HICSS: A Text Mining Analysis

This research project is inspired by the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Hawaii International Conferences on Systems Sciences (HICSS). As the current co-chairs of the longest-running minitrack on Business Intelligence (BI), Business Analytics (BA) and Big Data (as it is currently known) at HICSS, we report on its 27-year history of relevant and interesting research. Our insights into the key research themes and their progress over time were obtained through a semantic text mining of all research publications included in this minitrack since 1990. We also illustrate a practical method of using a sophisticated text-mining tool (Leximancer) so that it could be replicated by other researchers interested in content analysis methods in other research fields

The Trajectory of IT in Healthcare at HICSS: A Literature Review, Analysis, and Future Directions

Research has extensively demonstrated that healthcare industry has rapidly implemented and adopted information technology in recent years. Research in health information technology (HIT), which represents a major component of the Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences, demonstrates similar findings. In this paper, review the literature to better understand the work on HIT that researchers have conducted in HICSS from 2008 to 2017. In doing so, we identify themes, methods, technology types, research populations, context, and emerged research gaps from the reviewed literature. With much change and development in the HIT field and varying levels of adoption, this review uncovers, catalogs, and analyzes the research in HIT at HICSS in this ten-year period and provides future directions for research in the field

How to Connect the Americas: An IS/IT Academic Research Plan for Tomorrow

During the last decade we have engaged in several heretofore separate and at least initially, somewhat independent research initiatives: 1) Virtual teams and collaborative technologies [Ballantine, Becker, et. al.; 1999], [Becker, Ballantine, et. al., 1999, 2001], [Becker; 2003], [Becker and Cline; 2005]; 2) building bridges between researches across the borders of the Americas [Becker and Sanchez; 2006, 2007, and 2008]; and 3) analyzing the dramatic and alarming declines in IS/IT majors [Becker, Hassan, and Naumann, 2006]. Within the last few years we have come to discover that these research streams appear to be converging in a welcome and pleasantly synergistic manner. When combined these research streams result in an action plan to utilize a combination of virtual collaborative technologies and face-to-face interactions with faculty and students throughout the Americas to increase the number of IS/IT majors at all educational levels: undergraduate, masters and doctoral degrees. This paper describes what brought us to this epiphany and my plan for the next year-long phase of this study, which will commence in summer 2009 for this author. A partial list of the planned activities, objectives and metrics are shown in Appendix
