*Digital and Social Media in Enterprise Minitrack*

Digital and social media (DSM) have transformed the workplace in
organizations. Two decades ago, the use of electronic communication
technologies--such as emails, messaging, and teleconference
systems--promoted effective electronic communications in organizations,
changing organizational forms, enabling electronic document management, and
preserving organizational memory. Now organizations are experiencing an
exponential growth in the use of a new wave of digital media, social media
technologies such as blogs, wikis, social networking sites, and
microblogging that provide new affordances. While scholars have examined
the use of social media technologies for organizational external
communications (e.g., with customers and vendors), our understanding of the
digital and social use within organizations remains limited. In order for
an organization to amplify the returns/benefits and to mitigate the
drawbacks of DSM use within the work environment, it is imperative for both
researchers and practitioners to focus on the implications of digital and
social media use for organizational actions.



This research lies at the intersectionality of multiple disciplines, namely
Information Systems, Science & Technology, Organization Science, and
Behavioral Science. The Call for Papers welcomes theoretical and empirical
studies addressing organizational, managerial, technical, and behavioral
perspectives on digital and social media in enterprises.

  *Design and use of corporate digital memory

  *Effects—positive and negative—of digital and social media at workplace

*Electronic document management afforded by digital and social media use
