Minitrack: Business Models for the Digital Economy</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier New">DESCRIPTION</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier New">This minitrack was introduced at AMCIS
2000 and serves as a forum for the presentation and discussion of new and
innovative approaches of business models beyond e-commerce for coping with
the challenges of the digital economy. We consider an economy based on
the digitization of information and the respective information and communication
infrastructure as digital economy. This new type of economy implies not
only technological, but also and especially structural and process-related
challenges and potential. The way in which economic value is created will
change fundamentally in the digital economy and thus transform the structure
of economies and societies.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier New">This evolution will radically alter
processes and structures within and between industries leading to the digital
economy. All of these developments characterize the emerging digital economy
and cause new challenges businesses have to cope with. This clearly will
have a major impact on how business models have to be designed. Therefore
this minitrack 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.</font>
