Minitrack:
IT Enabled Collaboration in Development

Track:
Collaboration Systems and Technologies


Diffusion (adoption, implementation, and utilization) of collaboration
technologies has been investigated in many countries and regions around the
globe. While many of the research initiatives have been undertaken in
Western Europe and North America, they have been scarce in developing
regions like Eastern Europe, Asia, Africa, and Latin America. The diffusion
of collaboration technologies in these regions is on the rise as
globalization drives inter and intra-country collaboration intensity within
and across organizations. In many developing countries, synchronous and
asynchronous computer support for team members (co-located or virtual) is
being enhanced by handheld mobile devices in communities of practice and
social media environments. Moreover, the use of digital technology enabled
tools for collaboration and communication, has become more popular in the
age of new technologies. Emerging technology trends like Metaverse, AIGC,
provide new opportunities to further enhance IT enabled collaboration for
development.

We would like to invite the authors to submit their research from
theoretical, technological, social, psychological, behavioral, and design
science perspectives. Research deploying different theoretical lenses could
focus on process and system design, methods, modeling, and techniques in
addressing various aspects of IT enabled collaboration for development. The
minitrack will focus on a wide range of topics including but not limited to:

   - IT enabled collaboration in emerging context (e.g. Metaverse) in
   developing regions
   - Opportunities and challenges in AI generated and participated
   collaboration
   - Metaverse and its influence for digital collaboration
   - Digital collaboration technology diffusion case studies in education,
   business, government, and healthcare organizations in developing regions
   - Global, virtual, distributed, blended, and face-to-face IT enabled
   collaboration for development at the team and organizational level
   - New generation of digital technology for cross-cultural collaboration
   - Group decision making, negotiation, facilitation, and communication
   technologies for development
   - Trust, privacy, security issues in digital technology enabled
   collaboration
   - Social, behavioral, psychological, economic and technical factors
   influencing IT enabled collaboration for development
   - Information systems, technologies, theories, processes, methods, or
   models that could be transferred and applied from developed regions to
   developing regions
