[AISWorld] CfP: "Digital Start-Ups: New forms of Collaboration, Competition and Co-opetition" - AMCIS 2024

[Gewald, Heiko Professor Dr.]

Dear colleagues,

We are looking forward to your submissions to our Minitrack " Digital Start-Ups: New forms of Collaboration, Competition and Co-opetition" (sponsored by SIG OSRA)
https://amcis2024.aisconferences.org/track-descriptions/#toggle-id-12

Submissions are due at 10 a.m. EST on March 1st, 2024

The opportunities provided by digital technology and lower entry barriers to markets gave rise to large numbers of diverse start-ups that confront incumbent firms with fast changing competitive landscape and the disruption of their traditional businesses.

Especially in highly regulated industries like Financial Services, Legal, Education or Healthcare new competitors referred to as Fintechs, Legaltechs, Edtechs or Healthtechs shake up traditional markets. This trend continues and stretches far beyond the mentioned industries.

Traditional 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 traditional businesses. This makes them both a pain and a gain for 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
