<p class="MsoPlainText">Dear colleagues,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Please consider contributing to our AMCIS 2021 Mini-Track on Digital Practices: A Perspective on Digital Transformation Processes.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">The purpose of this mini-track is to unpack the essence and peculiarities of digital practices. Emerging scholarship has offered various accounts of digital transformation (e.g., Vial et al. 2019), and has also begun to distinguish digital
transformation from earlier IT-enabled transformations (e.g., Wessel et al. 2020). But what is it exactly that organizations do, when they embark on a digital transformation journey? Based on previous accounts, we still require a sharpened understanding of
the different bundles of (social) practices inspired by digital artefacts that help organizations on their digital transformation journey. These digital practices will need to help organizations in coping with and overcoming arising challenges and tensions
within their digital transformation process as well as creating a new unique identify that defines a digitally transformed organization.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Research questions include:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"> * What are digital practices?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"> * What is unique about digital practices compared to other practices?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"> * How do different types of digital practices interact?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"> * How can we explain digital transformation through a digital practice lens?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"> * What tensions and challenges arise in the interplay between digital artifacts and human agency within digital practices?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"> * How are digital practices enacted in digital transformation processes such as those related to sensor-based technology, artificial intelligence, etc.?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">These are but a few questions that are relevant for this mini-track. We seek theoretical contributions that help us better understand these phenomena as well as practice-oriented knowledge and design artifacts for dealing with or leveraging
digital practices in transforming and organizing.<o:p></o:p></p>
