<p><font size=2 face="Arial">This minitrack 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><font size=2 face="Arial"> </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Arial">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>
