Call for Papers for the Mini Track "Business Models for the Digital Economy"

This minitrack serves as a forum for the presentation and discussion of new
and innovative approaches of business models beyond e-commerce for coping
with the challenges of the digital economy as well as digital
transformation. We consider an economy based on the digitization of
information and the respective information and communication infrastructure
as digital economy. This new type of economy implies not only
technological, but also and especially structural and process-related
challenges and potential. The way in which economic value is created will
change fundamentally in the digital economy and thus transform the
structure of economies and societies.

This evolution will radically alter processes and structures within and
between businesses and further organizations including governmental
authorities leading to the digital economy. New and innovative products and
services are emerging, new infrastructures – market services as well as
technological means – are enabling the digital economy.

All of these developments characterize the emerging digital economy and
cause new challenges businesses as well as further organizations have to
cope with. This clearly will have a major impact on how business models
have to be designed. Therefore this minitrack addresses all topics
concerned with the analysis, design, development, implementation, and
control of future business models for the creation of economic value in the
digital economy from a communication, organizational, business, economic,
and managerial perspective applying a theoretical, conceptual, or practical
approach.

Suggested topics:

- Challenges and foundations of the digital economy
- Analytical and architectural frameworks for new business models
- Business Model generation and business model innovation
- Disruptive Business Models in the Digital Economy
- Business models and the digital transformation
- Design approaches/ methods for new business models
