<hr>
<p>Disruptive technological change has contributed in the last
decade to accelerate the transition from a business-driven culture
to a more ‘social-oriented’ one. Open innovation has become more
influential and models of production and value creation are
changing. The advent of social media, cloud computing, big data
and the Internet of things outlines a new idea of socioeconomic
organization, exemplified by the App Economy, already emerging as
a collection of interlocking innovative ecosystems. “New Forms of
Enterprises” emerge, driven by constant business model
transformation and innovation, acting as multi-sided platforms
built on -as well as emerging from- digital innovations at the
global, as well as local level, to produce shared value including
that beyond monetisation.</p>
<p>The scope of the 1st International Workshop on Digital Business
Innovation and the Future Enterprise Information Systems
Engineering (DiFenSE 2015) encompasses all aspects of digital
business innovation and the role of information systems
engineering and conceptual modelling for design thinking and the
discovery and exploitation of digital opportunities.</p>
<p>Thus, the workshop aims to promote and exchange ideas on the role
and use of information systems engineering for future digital
enterprises, digital business innovation and web entrepreneurship.
The workshop is powered by the FP7 Future Enterprise Project
Consortium.</p>
