Within the 48th Hawaiian International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS), we organize a
minitrack on Inter-organizational Collaborative Dynamics and the Role of Information
Technology. The 48th HICSS, one of the most prominent Conferences on Information Systems
and Sciences worldwide, will be held on January 5-8, 2015, Grand Hyatt Kauai, Hawaii
(http://www.hicss.hawaii.edu).
Breakthrough innovation increasingly requires intense interaction that involves external parties
jointly solving problems or exploring new opportunities. In healthcare, care coordination and
transitions of care require coordination of patient care among multiple and often independent
care settings that are often completely different systems of care, both professionally and
institutionally. Multiparty cloud solutions and infrastructure management services require close
collaboration by multiple vendors and the client particularly during times of transition. The
aftermath of catastrophic events often involves impromptu groups of individuals from different
organizations and backgrounds that collaborate to provide disaster relief.
This track explores inter-organizational collaboration particularly in terms of multi-level
dynamics and the role of information and communication technology in such dynamics. We
welcome papers that theoretically or empirically advance our understanding. We will solicit
excellent papers that will develop and expand this area. The papers can use any acceptable
methodology and theory. We welcome papers at any level of analysis and encourage papers that
take a cross level perspective.
