<b>TRACK: ICTs IN GLOBAL DEVELOPMENT (SIGGlobDev)<br>
</b><br>
<b>Mini-track: ICT COLLABORATION IN CROSS-ORGANIZATIONAL, INTERNATIONAL, AND GLOBAL SETTINGS<br>
</b><br>
<b>DESCRIPTION:</b><span style="font-size:10.0pt" lang="EN-US"><b><br>
</b>With increasing integration of corporations, public authorities, non-profit organizations, project teams, and individuals in cross-organizational, international and global settings, ICT collaboration is getting increasingly relevant. Cross-organizational
and particularly international and global collaboration is much more complex than within one single organization. Critical success factors of ICT collaboration in such settings are for example physical locations of collaborating partners, varying levels of
ICT infrastructure, cultural similarity or differences, legal regulations or the economic environment. The role of ICT in cross-organizational, international, and global collaboration is twofold: ICT can be a collaboration enabler, but also a collaboration
purpose and goal. This mini-track focuses on conceptual and empirical research that contributes to a clearer understanding of ICT collaboration processes, their challenges, success factors, and benefits in cross-organizational, international, or global settings.
All methodological approaches, including case studies, surveys, literature reviews, design science etc. are welcome.<span style="">
