[Hans-Dieter Zimmermann]

We invite you to submit your research work to the 'Business Models for the
Digital Economy' mini-track at AMCIS 2019, to be held in Cancun, Mexico on
August 15-17, 2019.  If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to

Mini-track Description

This mini track serves as a forum for the presentation and discussion of
new and innovative approaches to business models beyond e-commerce for
coping with the challenges of the digital economy as well as digital
transformation. We consider an economy based on the digitization of
information and the respective information and communication infrastructure
as the digital economy. This new type of economy implies not only
technological but also and especially structural and process-related
challenges and potentials. The way in which economic value is created will
change fundamentally in the digital economy and thus transform the
structure of economies and societies.

This evolution will radically alter intra- and inter-organizational
processes and structures of businesses as well as further organizations
including governmental authorities leading to the digital economy. New and
innovative products and services are emerging, new infrastructures – market
services as well as technological means – are enabling the digital economy.

All of these developments characterize the emerging digital economy and
cause new challenges businesses, as well as further organizations, have to
cope with. This clearly will have a major impact on how business models
have to be designed. Therefore this mini track addresses all topics
concerned with the analysis, design, development, implementation, and
control of future business models for the creation of economic value in the
digital economy from a communication, organizational, business, economic,
and managerial perspective applying a theoretical, conceptual, or practical
approach.

   - Challenges and foundations of the digital economy
   - Analytical and architectural frameworks for new business models
   - Business model generation and innovation
