=======================
The social media is transforming the workplace in organizations.
Increasingly companies are launching social media behind their firewalls to
encourage employees to share information, locate expertise, and engage in
collaborations. Companies such as Best Buy, Deloitte, Microsoft, and IBM
have hosted their internal social networking sites to enhance their
communication and collaboration within and across organizational
boundaries. The proliferation of social media in organizations has opened
up new opportunities, but at the same time it has also raised new work and
workplace related concerns and challenges. We argue that in order for the
organizations to amplify the returns and mitigate the drawbacks of using
social media in workplaces, it is imperative to systematically and
empirically examine organizational issues and challenges arising in the
adoption and use of social media in enterprise. Therefore, in this
mini-track we invite research on opportunities, challenges, and
consequences associated with social media adoption and use in enterprise.

enterprise social media. Potential issues and topics include, but are not
