*Track 19 - Transforming Society with Digital Innovation*
Within the past decades, digital innovations have dramatically transformed
the world of business and society. The Internet as we know it today,
smartphones, social media, digital platforms, and other digital
technologies have changed our lives in many ways. This includes how we
work, learn, transport, socialize, protest, communicate, and date.
Likewise, digital technologies are infused into virtually every single
routine of modern organizations, including commercial firms, governmental
agencies, public institutions, social enterprises, and not-for-profits.

The track welcomes submissions that investigate the impacts of digital
innovations on changing economic and social aspects of life. The track is
open to all methodological approaches and perspectives. We are interested
in empirical and theoretical work that addresses these and related
socio-technical issues.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Digital Transformations
Digital platforms and markets
Societal consequences of digital technologies
Digital activism and social media
Changing nature of work and life in digital economies
