AMCIS 2025 - Call for Mini-Track Proposals - Digital Sourcing, Platforms, and Ecosystems


AMCIS Track: Digital Sourcing, Platforms, and Ecosystems

Sponsoring SIG: SIG Sourcing

Track Chairs: Maximilian Schreieck, Andreas Hein, Julia Kotlarsky


For the Track Digital Sourcing, Platforms, and Ecosystems, we invite the submission of Mini-Track proposals.



Track description
Digital platforms and emerging technologies are reshaping traditional sourcing. To capture the dynamics and interactions of sourcing and platform phenomena, the Track Digital Sourcing, Platforms, and Ecosystems highlights research that investigates topics relating to digital sourcing, platforms, and ecosystems. These topics include but are not limited to (1) digital sourcing issues, such as sourcing decisions and outcomes, organizing and governing sourcing relationships, collaboration, innovation, and knowledge management processes in sourcing relationships, and various sourcing configurations and models, and (2) digital platform ecosystems issues, including motivation to partner, governance of platform ecosystems and partnerships, co-innovation and development processes, and outcomes. We welcome studies that examine these topics from multiple perspectives, including client and supplier firms, platform vendors, complementors, and individual actors. All methods and levels of analysis, including individual-, firm-, inter-organizational, and ecosystem-level, are welcome.


Potential topics for Mini-Tracks

*         Governance of platforms, ecosystems, and sourcing arrangements
*         Emerging technologies in sourcing, platforms, and ecosystems

  *   Crowdsourcing
  *   Evolution of sourcing ecosystems in the era of cloud computing and artificial intelligence
  *   Transitions from product-centric to platform-centric organizations, business-to-business platform ecosystems
  *   Any other topic that falls within the scope of the track description
