Theme
Because of digitalisation and the intensive use of Information and
Communication Technologies (ICT), public and private organisations are
generating, collecting and analysing massive amounts of data. For example,
it is estimated that the production of data will grow from 33 zettabytes in
2018 to 175 zettabytes by 2025 (European Commission, 2020). These data are
generated from multiple data sources, including but not limited to mobile
devices, social media platforms, cloud computing facilities, and government
infrastructures. In addition, data are increasingly accessible through
data-exchange platforms that transcend organizational and even industry
boundaries (Beverungen et al., 2022).

The massive availability of data creates several opportunities for public
and private organizations. For example, data enable new ways to create and
capture value (Fürstenau et al., 2021). Private parties are looking at new
business models to monetise data (Loebbecke & Picot, 2015). Public
organizations are exploring how to use external data to streamline their
tasks: ranging from public service delivery during disasters (Morabito,
2015) to improving transparency of data to monitor circular economy flows in
supply chains (Alt, 2021).

The essential role of data for socio-economic activities also poses
significant challenges at multiple levels for many organisations. On a
strategic level, competing and conflicting goals may arise between
organizations sharing data, especially if organizations operate in distinct
institutional settings (Aaen, Nielsen, & Carugati, 2021). Regarding
governance, organisations must consider an evolving landscape of stringent
rules and norms when exchanging, processing, and extracting value from data
(Janssen, Brous, Estevez, Barbosa, & Janowski, 2020). On a technical level,
data exchanged among multiple actors may result in identity management,
privacy, and security concerns (Ishmaev, 2021). To harness these challenges,
solutions are likely needed that address strategic, governance and technical
aspects.

Further, while prior research emphasises that data are critical for
organisations, concerted efforts examining governance in data-centric
ecosystems and collaborations between private and public organisations are
lacking (Abraham, Schneider, & Vom Brocke, 2019). More broadly, detailed
insights and implications of fundamental aspects such as privacy and
stakeholder trust in the data economy are needed.

This special issue intends to advance current theoretical and empirical
knowledge on organising in the data economy. We are interested in a broad
range of contributions using quantitative, qualitative, or mixed research
approaches. More specifically, we call for papers that advance our
understanding of the impact of data governance, strategies, management, and
analytics in organizing in the data economy. We are also interested in the
impact of the data-rich environment on privacy, business models, and
inter-organisational collaboration.

Central issues and topics
Examples of potential research topics may include but are not limited to the
following:
o	Characteristics of data and impacts on data governance
o	Data analytics and organisational change processes
o	Privacy-enhancing business models
o	Data management practices in the new data-rich environment
o	Scaling strategies for data platforms
o	Governance of private-public data-sharing partnerships
o	Data governance models promoting privacy
o	New forms of trust emerging in data-sharing collaborations
o	Reliability and authenticity of datasets
o	Sociotechnical solutions to challenges in the data economy
o	Best practices for data visibility and transparency across platforms
and ecosystems
o	Competing tensions and solutions in data-driven collaborations
o	Data sharing in the context of circular economy and sustainability
