An Analysis of ICMB 2006
This paper analyzes the 44 papers included in the proceedings of the 5th ICMB conference in
Copenhagen 2006. The purpose of the paper was to investigate to what extent the conference
fulfilled its objectives which was to compare previous expectations with present realities along
the following four areas: (1) business models, (2) the influence of m-business on private and
work life, (3) the impact of regulation, and (4) the re-composition of the value network. In the
analysis we apply the well-known framework by Lyytinen and Yoo for studying nomadic
computing. In addition to this we also classify the papers in relation to type of artifact
investigated, application area, and research methodology. The analysis show that the main focus
lay on the use and adoption of mobile services β over 60% of the papers address. Few papers
address the impact of service on any level of analysis. Business model is a recurring topic in 17
of the papers. There is lack in theorizing of the artifact, e.g. many just study mobile devices, but
do not describe what type they study
