***Mini-track Description***
Many organizations operate with a primary mission to serve the common good. Non-profit organizations, such as charities, seek to make an impact on the root causes of social problems in communities, and social enterprises aim to improve human well-being through traditional business methods and commercial strategies. Both non-profits and social enterprises, however, have constraints that have an impact on technology adoption, diffusion, and utilization in terms of these organizations’ achieving their strategic goals. There is a significant opportunity to examine and improve how these types of organizations harness the power of information technology (IT) and systems (IS) and to accelerate social impact. Thus, it is essential to focus on IT/IS utilization within non-profit and social enterprise organizations to continue to develop a more in-depth understanding of the strategic use and impact of IT/IS within these organizations.

This mini-track solicits completed and research-in-progress papers addressing IS/IT issues in non-profits or social enterprises.  Papers can be conceptual, theoretical, design, empirical, or case studies.

Situated in non-profit or social enterprise organizations, topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Design, development, deployment, and use or utilization of IS/IT
* Intra- and inter-organizational IS/IT issues
* Individual attitudes, behaviors, or characteristics that impact strategic use of IS/IT
* Multiple stakeholder perspectives on IS/IT issues
* IS/IT governance or policy issues
* Evaluation and assessment of IS/IT impact on organizational performance
* Social media, networking, and analytics
* Business intelligence and related tools
* Innovative and novel IS/IT applications
