[AISWorld] CFP - AMCIS 2020 Minitrack: Disruptive Start-ups and Traditional Companies

[daniel.gozman at gmail.com]

CALL FOR PAPERS

AMCIS 2020, Salt Lake City, UT, USA, August 12-16

MINI-TRACK: Disruptive Start-ups and Traditional Companies
TRACK: Organizational Transformation @ Information Systems (SIG OSRA)

DESCRIPTION

The opportunities provided by digital technology and lower entry barriers to
markets, e.g., enabled by regulation, combined with the availability of vast
amounts of venture capital gave rise to large numbers and diversity of
start-ups that confront incumbent firms with fast changing competitive
landscape and the disruption of their traditional businesses.
Especially in areas of the traditional services industries like Financial
Services, Legal Services and Health Services new competitors referred to as
Fintechs, Legaltechs and Healthtechs start to mix up competition. This trend
continues and stretches far beyond the mentioned industries.
Incumbent companies struggle to compete with these new entities due to the
differences in business logics entailing, e.g., speed, agility, and
customer-centricity. Also, these start-ups specifically target weak spots in
the value chain of the traditional businesses. This makes them both a pain
and a gain for the traditional companies. A pain as they take business away,
a gain as successful collaboration or integration can elevate the
competitive position of the traditional business.
Topics of interest for this mintrack include
*       New business logic and advanced business models
*       Value co-creation and value appropriation
*       New forms of digital collaboration and co-opetition
*       Forms and mechanisms of collaboration
*       Development and governance of digital ecosystem
*       New forms of organizing such as network organization
*       Lessons learned from integrating start-ups into incumbent firms
*       Knowledge integration and re-combination across firm boundaries
*       Case studies from Fintech, Legaltech, Healthtech and other startup
industries
*       International aspects of start-ups and their interaction with
traditional businesses
