Track Description

There is no consensus in what is good, bad or ugly on the internet. Researchers are constantly addressing these issues.  As old issue are resolved, new challenges emerge that require knowledge from multiple disciplines such as information systems, social sciences, international management, leadership and political science. Given the richness and research potential of this area, it is essential to brainstorm and bring diverse points of view to develop underlying theory and frameworks. This track will attempt to accomplish these objectives. These questions need to be addressed. Analytical techniques and emerging computing power is enabling researchers to address some of these questions.

Since social networking includes many different areas, contributions from researchers beyond
