June 15th - 17th 2020 / Marrakech, Morocco

Track: Business Models and Digital Transformation (https://ecis2020.ma/ecis-2020-tracks/)

*Track Description:*

The continuous development of information and communication technologies (ICT) enables new forms of value creation in a growing number of industries. To remain competitive, companies must recognize the effects of new ICT on their business models as early as possible and transform them accordingly or develop new businesses in parallel. Such a digital transformation often affects large parts of an organization, from the products or services provided, to the processes and structures, as well as to strategy and culture. This already leads to far-reaching changes in economy and society. Therefore, it is important to understand these ICT-enabled changes in the creation and realization of value, exchanges and combinations of resources, delivery of new digital services and products, process innovation, and thus new digital business models. In line with the conference theme "Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity in a Digitizing World", companies also have to monitor their impact on society and the ethical emplications of their business model design and transformation choices while ensuring sustainable business success.

As an established part of ECIS since 2014, this track, on the one hand, will examine the impact of technological developments on the design of existing and new business models. All parts of a business model - the product or service, the customer relationships, the resources and organizational structure, 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 companies can successfully manage the digital transformation. This includes strategic (e.g. the development of a transformation strategy) and organizational issues (e.g. the nomination and role of a Chief Digital Officer) as well as new management concepts (e.g. the use of agile methods) and cultural changes (e.g. flexible work environments). Furthermore, instruments and methods for modelling, depicting and transforming business models are relevant for the track.

Submissions are encouraged from all theoretical and methodological perspectives drawing from IS, organizational behavior, strategic management, entrepreneurship, and related disciplines. Authors must clearly outline why their study is new and interesting for IS research and practice and how it relates to the track theme. The following list of possible topics is neither exclusive nor exhaustive:

* ICT as "enabler" of new business models

* Digital transformation of existing business models through ICT

* Management of digital transformation processes

* Substitution and complementarity of new and existing business models within an organization

* Effects of ICT on the organisational structure

* Development and implementation of digital transformation strategies

* Redesign of interorganizational cooperation using ICT

* Changes in cost structures through ICT

* New forms of revenue generation using ICT

* The impact of ICT on the relationship between firms and customers

* Development of digital competence within companies

* ICT-based and/or ICT-centric management and leadership concepts

* Redefining the relationship between employee and employer through the use of ICT

* Corporate and entrepreneurial culture in the digital age

* Change management in the digital transformation process
