[Christy M K Cheung]

Track: Collaboration Systems and Technologies
Mini-track: Social Media and e-Business Transformation

Social media are online platforms that facilitate global collaboration and
sharing among users. New social media applications in e-business and
e-commerce appear everyday and results in enormous shocks to the ecosystem
of individuals and businesses. Consumers can easily obtain information from
a vast, geographically dispersed group of people in social platforms.
Meanwhile, these social platforms give retailers a wealth of options for
reaching potential customers, communication and collaboration, and creating
values to customers. Furthermore, social media are increasingly being used
in organizations to improve relationships among employees and nurture
collaboration and the sharing culture.

The aim of this minitrack is to provide a forum for the exchange of
research ideas and best practices related to social media in e-business
environments. It also aims to raise awareness in terms of the latest
developments in social media, and address the challenges of using social
media. This minitrack is open to all types of research, conceptual or
empirical. Examples of possible topics of interest include (but are not
limited to):

Topics:
 The adoption, usage, and impact of social media upon consumers and
businesses
 Social media strategies and e-business models
 Consumer engagement with organizations in social media
 Enterprise 2.0 and social computing in organizations
