Background and Rational
=======================
In today's networked service economies, value is created by the fruitful interplay of various distributed service providers that jointly contribute to an integrated solution that meets individual customers' needs. The rapid growth of Service Value Networks [1,2] that are formed in a short-term fashion in order to provide customized complex services implies novel technical and organizational challenges. Thus, robust research is needed related to innovation, coordination, mechanism design, decision making, incentive engineering, governance, service system design, and service quality aspects.
The goal is to explore the challenges and the potential of moving to a service and network economy.


Topics of interest
==================
Topics of applied, field and empirical research in the context of service and networked economies include, but are not limited to:

* Coordination and mechanism design
* Algorithmic game theory
* Decision making in distributed environments
* Coalitions, crowdsourcing and collective action
* Providing and managing service compositions
* Economics aspects of security and privacy
* Quality aspects of business services
* Two-sided markets and network effects
* Computational challenges and operations research
* Services sourcing and business process management
* Management of agreements and contractual structures
* Services governance and operation
* Organizational transformation
* Risk management and decision support systems
* Customer integration and mass customization
* Knowledge management and networked collaboration
* Information economics
