The main focus will be on how actors understand the potential of ICTs to support organizational activities and hence how they adopt and adapt these technologies to achieve their goals. We are interested in different areas of the organization's strategy through new business models, competitive strategies, knowledge management, etc. Specific areas are concerned such as marketing, human resource management, project management, operation management, innovation management, etc. These questions can de addressed both in private and public sector either national or international e.g. though development policies, in industry and services. We are also interested in how organization impact society through sustainable development and social responsibility. And finally, how ICTs use social media networks in the process of value co-creation.</span></div><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"></font><div id="yiv5934856689yui_3_16_0_1_1414832195874_28584" style="background: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;"><span id="yiv5934856689yui_3_16_0_1_1414832195874_28583" lang="EN-US" style='font-family: "Times", "serif"; font-size: 8pt;'>We invite submissions in all areas of ICTs and organizations especially innovative, interesting and rigorously developed conceptual and empirical contributions.
