Introduction to the WI2021 Track: Data Science & Business Analytics

The increasing availability of data and advances in data processing and analysis methods have led to a flourishing of data science and business analytics. This not only constitutes new research efforts in information systems research (e.g. artificial intelligence (AI), processing of unstructured data, decision support systems, or visualization), but also has a significant impact on established topics in information systems research such as business intelligence and decision support systems. In this track, we welcomed the entire diversity of information systems research efforts in the fields of data science and business analytics and were open to all methodological approaches.
