Call For Mini-Track Proposals

*AMCIS 2023 ¨C Virtual Communities and Collaboration Track: Call For Mini-track Proposals - Due by October 17, 2022*

We invite submission of mini-track proposals for the ¡°Virtual Communities and Collaboration (VCC)¡± track at the 29th Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS 2023), which will be held on August 10-12, 2023 in Panama City, Panama. AMCIS 2023 brings together academics and industry professionals around the world to exchange knowledge related to the AMCIS 2023 theme: Diving into Uncharted Waters.

Virtual Communities and Collaboration Track Description
The goal of the Virtual Communities and Collaboration track is to disseminate research and extend our knowledge of how collaboration manifests in virtual communities. Following a continuing trend toward globalization and remote or hybrid work arrangements, virtual communities and collaboration are becoming indispensable elements within organizations. Virtual communities constitute groups of individuals who interact and pursue mutual goals within computer-mediated environments. Prevalent across digital spaces ranging from crowd platforms to social media to virtual worlds among others, organizations are leveraging on the collective wisdom of virtual communities to improve business processes and bolster firm performance. Consequently, there is a necessity for researchers and practitioners to address cognitive, behavioral, social, and technical issues in such virtual collaborative environments. Research areas range from design issues in collaborative environments, to sense of community and engagement in virtual communities, to the impact of virtual communities and collaboration in domains as diverse as business, education, and government. The track aims to solicit contributions from a range of ontological and epistemological perspectives to not only deepen our understanding of virtual communities and collaboration but also enhance the theoretical foundation for research, share insightful empirical findings related to these venues, and provide guidance to practitioners.
