Description
Information and communication technologies (ICT) have become an increasingly important driver of novel and often disruptive business innovations. These are changing products, services, and entire business models fundamentally. This can have far-reaching consequences for the respective companies or whole industries. These developments are not limited to IT-related industries anymore but by now affect traditional product- and service industries both within the business-to-business and within the business-to-consumer sector. Companies need to regularly question and possibly adapt their business models or build new businesses branches to survive in competition. At the same time, innovations in ICT offer the opportunity to develop new solutions as a foundation of new companies. The adaptation of existing and the development of new business models demand an understanding of the underlying technologies and management concepts for digital entrepreneurship.

This track, on the one hand, will examine the impact of technological developments on the design of existing and new business models. This includes the provider as well as the consumer side. All parts of a business model - the product or service, the customer relationships, the resources, as well as the cost and revenue model - are of equal interest. On the other hand, the track is dedicated to the question on how start-ups, both as own entities as well as within other organizations, can be successfully founded and established. This includes technical (e.g. the development of a prototype) and organizational issues (e.g. the composition of founding teams) as well as cultural aspects (e.g. flexible work environments). Furthermore, instruments and methods for modelling, depicting and transforming business models are relevant for the track.

The following list of topics is neither exclusive nor exhaustive. All kinds of interesting artifacts, novel, ICT-based business models and methodological innovations are welcome in the track. We are open towards different research methodologies. Analytical, conceptual, constructivist, empirical and theoretical approaches are welcome.
