[AISWorld] HICSS 2016 Minitrack: CROSS-ORGANIZATIONAL AND CROSS-BORDER IS/IT COLLABORATION

[Beimborn, Daniel]

Call for Submissions: Minitrack on "CROSS-ORGANIZATIONAL AND CROSS-BORDER IS/IT COLLABORATION" 
(Track: Collaboration Systems and Technologies) at the 49th Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS), Jan 5-8 2016, Grand Hyatt, Kauai


Increasingly there is integration of people, systems, processes, and infrastructure across organizations, borders, and world regions to enable productive teamwork towards achieving mutual goals.  Collaborators are motivated to enter into collaborative projects and interactions, which lead to satisfaction and performance.  Quality in collaboration is fostered by perception of value, trust, and commitment among participants and stakeholders. With progressing globalization, many of these collaborations are conducted across widely dispersed organizations and national borders. Cross-system integration and collaboration technologies play crucial roles and often decide about investment success or failure. Growth in electronic and virtual collaboration can be facilitated by organizations seeking to gain competitive advantage by lowering costs, increasing knowledge, and reaching new customers.  Perceived value serves as a stimulus for further growth.

- Processes of international/global IS/IT collaboration
