<div style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size:11pt" lang="en-GB">With growing 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 collaboration within one single organization. Critical success factors
or challenges of ICT collaboration in such settings are for example different levels of ICT infrastructure, differences in business processes, cultural 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 international and global 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></font><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size:11pt" lang="en-GB">
