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><font size="3"> <br></font><font size="2" face="Arial"><br>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><font size="3"> </font><font size="2" face="Arial"><br><br>Suggested topics include but are not limited to the following:</font><font size="3"> </font><font size="2" face="Arial"><br><br>Challenges and foundations of the digital economy <br>Analytical and architectural frameworks for new business models <br>Business Model generation <br>Disruptive Business Models in the Digital Economy <br>Design approaches/methods for new business models <br>Models and modeling techniques/approaches for new business models <br>Industry perspectives on business models</font><font size="3"> </font><font size="2" face="Arial"><br>Social Media and Social Networks based business models</font><font size="3"> </font><font size="2" face="Arial"><br>Challenges of converging industries: <br> Financial industry (e.g., emerging intermediaries, private/retail banking, insurance) <br> Media industry (e.g., publishing, music business) <br> Telecommunications (e.g., mobile network operators)</font><font size="3"> </font><font size="2" face="Arial"><br>A business model perspective on</font><font size="3"> </font><font size="2" face="Arial"><br> Social Commerce</font><font size="3"> </font><font size="2" face="Arial"><br> Collaborative Commerce</font><font size="3"> </font><font size="2" face="Arial"><br> Ubiquitous Commerce</font><font size="3"> </font><font size="2" face="Arial"><br> Mobile Business</font><font size="3"> </font><font size="2" face="Arial"><br> Social Media and Social Networks</font><font size="3"> </font><font size="2" face="Arial"><br>Trust and new business models. <br><br>You are cordially invited to submit your research to the mini track!<br><br>For further information about our mini track please visit</font><font size="3"> </font><u><font size="3" color="#0000FF"><br></font></u><a href="http://www.amcis-businessmodels.hdzimmermann.net/callforpapers"><u><font size="2" color="#0000FF" face="Arial">http://www.amcis-businessmodels.hdzimmermann.net/callforpapers</font></u></a><font size="3"> <br></font><font size="2" face="Arial"><br><br>Mini Track Chairs:</font><font size="3"> <br></font><font size="2" face="Arial"><br>Hans-Dieter Zimmermann</font><font size="3"> </font><font size="2" face="Arial"><br>FHS St. Gallen University of Applied Sciences</font><font size="3"> </font><font size="2" face="Arial"><br>St. Gallen, Switzerland</font><font size="3"> </font><font size="2" face="Arial"><br><br>Ian MacInnes</font><font size="3"> </font><font size="2" face="Arial"><br>School of Information Studies</font><font size="3"> </font><font size="2" face="Arial"><br>Syracuse University</font></p>
