CALL FOR PAPERS: AMCIS 2018



New Orleans, Louisiana, USA
August 16-18, 2018

TRACK

Organizational Transformation and Information Systems

TRACK DESCRIPTION

Digital technologies are often ascribed potentials to disrupt existing status-quo. Designing and organizing for the resulting digital disruption holds opportunities for the digital transformation of aspiring disrupters and threatened incumbents. This mini-track is interested in both perspectives and welcomes both empirical and conceptual studies. Emerging IS research shows that creating or responding to digital disruption requires substantive strategic and organizational reactions. For example, what are the mechanisms for digital disruption? How should firms organize during disruption? These are but a few questions that are relevant for this mini track. Furthermore, design science as well as action (design) research are instrumental to advancing prescriptive knowledge relevant to practitioners. For example, digital technologies in the context of the sharing economy and the Internet of Things not only draw on information technology, they also demand novel designs of business models to be disruptive. We seek theoretical contributions that help us better understand these phenomena as well as practice oriented knowledge and design artifacts for dealing with or leveraging digital disruption.
