<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Digital transformation is accelerating across industries (Vial, 2019; Carroll et al., 2023) as
companies adopt digital technologies to reshape existing business models or create new ones, with wide-ranging effects on organizations and society. In the Information Systems field, scholars have shown how digital transformation alters organizational structures,
processes, value creation, and work practices (Vial, 2019; Wessel et al., 2021; Baiyere et al., 2020), with strategy playing a key role in guiding these shifts (Chanias et al., 2019; Matt et al., 2015). Beyond a processual perspective on digital transformation,
outcomes such as firm performance, resilience, and responsible transformation remain central, with recent work highlighting the importance of sustaining digital transformation and aligning it with societal needs (Carroll et al., 2023; Pappas et al., 2023;
Zimmer et al., 2023). </span></p>

and use of digital technologies transform organizations and their associated stakeholders. In line with the conference theme Re-imagining Digital Technology for Business, Management, and Society, we invite contributions that investigate how societal and/or
organizational digital transformations lead to responsible digital futures that take an ecosystem or multi-stakeholder perspective within and across organisations on the process and outcome of digital transformation. The track welcomes submissions from all
theoretical and methodological perspectives (i.e. qualitative, quantitative, design-oriented, conceptual). </span></p>
