*Track Description*



The Internet greatly facilitates the creation and exchange of
user-generated contents within and across web sites, hence making such
related sites and media increasingly “social.” (The phenomenon is also
termed as Web 2.0.) Indeed, social media can turn traditionally fragmented
user-inputs into all kinds of value co-creation. People share knowledge,
interests, bookmarks, product consumption experiences, etc. on various
platforms including blogs, social networking sites, virtual social worlds,
collaborative projects, content communities, and virtual game worlds. By
facilitating access to user-generated contents, social media have become a
democratic, personalized, and do-it-yourself platform of communications as
well as practical tools to extract collective intelligence. Companies can
sense crowd opinion on products on social media and are devising innovative
methods to attain insights from user-generated contents for developing
their competitive strategy.



The fundamental objective of this track is to assimilate the best practices
and insights from academic and industry research to support social media
and to understand how online social media impact individual behavior and
organizational performance. We expect to identify the key design features
of social media, unveil psychological and behavioral factors underlying the
diffusion and growth of social media, address economic and organizational
impacts of social media, and explore different ways to manage fragmented
user-generated knowledge for effective business analyses. Also, the track
is expected to demonstrate innovative methods of handling data from social
media to analyze business implications of the “wisdom of crowds.”





Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:



1.   Latest development of Web 2.0 technologies

2.   Challenges and opportunities of social media design

3.   Strategic use of social media to improve firm performance

4.   The value of social media to the society

5.   Creative design of social media for individual learning or decision
making

6.   Social media based commerce

7.   Cooperation in social media

8.   Web 2.0 and knowledge sharing

9.   Privacy issues in Web 2.0

10.  Social network analyses

11.  The use of social media in crowd sourcing

12.  Social business models

13.  Online communities

14.  Cloud computing using social media

15.  Open innovation via Web 2.0

16.  Social media and collective intelligence

17.  Harness social media data to increase business performance
