Track: Virtual Communities and Collaboration

Mini-Track: Value Appropriation and Creation in Virtual Collaborative Environments

Due: 5 p.m. EST March 1, 2022

 

Virtual communities have emerged as a game-changing collaboration paradigm that facilitates interactions among individuals, groups, and organizations in the pursuit of mutual goals. As virtual communities reshape the boundaries and structures of human collaborations, comprehending human behaviors in online environments and deriving design considerations for digital services that optimize collaborative practices is imperative for realizing collaboration in the virtual space.

This mini-track provides a forum for the exchange of research ideas and business practices on the interplay of human behaviors and virtual collaborative platforms at the individual, group, organization, and societal levels. It aims to expand our knowledge on how technologies govern and shape human behaviors in virtual communities as well as how such technology-mediated human behaviors, in turn, inform the design of virtual collaborative platforms. We are particularly interested in research that sheds light on how digital services can contribute to value appropriation and creation in virtual collaborative environments.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to: 

• Influence of individual and collective behaviors on the design and usage of virtual collaborative platforms 

• Influence of virtual collaborative platform on individual behaviors, group dynamics, as well as organizational norms and policies 

• Influence of political and socio-economic factors on human behaviors associated with virtual collaboration  

• Patterns of human/human-machine interactions and how digital services can be leveraged to support such interactions

• Role of individual behaviors in shaping collective outcome in virtual collaborative environment

• Data-driven design of virtual collaborative platforms

• Design of business processes and workflow in virtual collaborative platforms

• Design of communication interfaces and digital assistants in virtual collaborative environment

• Design of recommendation systems in virtual collaboration platforms

• Design of reputation systems on virtual collaborative platforms

• Design of assessment tools on collaborative outcome and individuals’ contributions in virtual collaboration environment

• Design modalities, principles, and processes for virtual collaborative platforms

• Evaluation of system design for virtual collaborative platforms

• Virtual collaboration for ongoing pro-social project management

• Virtual collaboration in support of emergency crisis management (e.g. virtual collaboration in response to COVID-19)

• Swift transition between traditional collaboration and virtual collaboration in post-pandemic period

• Virtual collaboration for open strategizing and open innovation

• Virtual collaboration, management and practices for emerging virtual commerce

 

We look forward to receiving your best works for the mini-track. Feel free to contact us if you have questions.
