TRACK: ICTs in Global Development (SIGGlobDev) Track
MINITRACK: ICT Collaboration in Cross-Organizational, International, and Global Settings
MINITRACK DESCRIPTION:
With growing integration of corporations, public authorities, non-profit organizations, project teams, and individuals in cross-organizational, international and global settings, ICT collaboration is getting increasingly relevant. Cross-organizational and particularly international and global collaboration is much more complex than collaboration within one single organization. Critical success factors or challenges of ICT collaboration in such settings are for example different levels of ICT infrastructure, differences in business processes, cultural differences, legal regulations or the economic environment. ICT in cross-organizational, international, and global collaboration can facilitate collaboration and enable improved cross-organizational processes. On the other hand, ICT is also seen as a goal of cross-organizational collaboration. This mini-track focuses on conceptual and empirical research that contributes to a clearer understanding of international and global ICT collaboration processes, their challenges, success factors, and benefits in cross-organizational, international, or global settings. All methodological approaches, including case studies, surveys, literature reviews, design science etc. are welcome.
