Minitrack===================================================*
*Organizations require accurate data for gaining insights of existing
threats or business opportunities. With the growing volume of big data that
has been provided by interconnected devices (e.g., Internet-of-Things),
collaborative platforms (e.g., social media), and information systems, the
information at hand has a great potential for transforming the entire
business process, as well as for improving the accuracy of business
decisions. Challenges here rely on understanding how digital
transformations (e.g., changes in organizations’ business processes,
models, end-users’ requirements, and information systems) are influenced,
impacted, and modified by big data produced within and outside
organizations. This mini-track invites studies centered on exploring
challenges and opportunities that emerge from the interplay between digital
transformation and existing big data. Conceptual, theoretical,
technological, methodological, empirical contributions are encouraged, as
well as research papers employing different methodologies, e.g.,
design-oriented research, case studies, and action research.*
