Call for submissions
The advent of generative AI has significantly impacted businesses, societies, and countries
globally. This technology, along with other disruptive innovations like big data analytics,
blockchain, robotics, IoT, online healthcare, and remote work solutions, has fundamentally
transformed how organizations and societies address the evolving demands of customers and
citizens in an increasingly intricate business landscape. Both scholarly research and practical
observations indicate that integrating these digital advancements has witnessed a substantial
leap forward at multiple tiers—from organizational to societal and national levels. The
challenges of implementing these technologies are anticipated to persist in the long term,
underscoring the enduring impact of generative AI and its counterparts on post-COVID
economies and societies.

The rapid adoption of disruptive technologies presents substantial challenges and reshapes the
world, businesses, and societies. It also offers opportunities to foster prosperity, human well-
being, and sustainability of business ecosystems. Therefore, digital connectivity and skills will
become even more critical as foundations to enable the adoption of broader disruptive
technologies and maintain the viability, adaptiveness, and competitiveness of industries in this
new ecosystem and economic environment. One particular industry that has seen increased
investment in digital infrastructure and digital skills is healthcare. Globally, many healthcare
systems struggled in the earliest stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. Also, in the post–COVID–19
era, healthcare organizations and systems are addressing key challenges of providing high-
quality, efficient, and accessible care while facilitating the (tele)monitoring and management of
exponentially increasing chronic diseases such as obesity, chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease, diabetes using digital technologies.

While the disruptive innovations reshaped individual work behavior, organizational structures,
and collaborations, many theoretical perspectives fall short of understanding the new reality.
Moreover, rapid expansion and adoption of digital innovation provide many opportunities to
discuss and rethink the theoretical and methodological underpinnings to understand how these
innovations are used in practice.

Digital innovation can be crucial in creating a sustainable, inclusive, and interconnected world.
Therefore, this conference elucidates the opportunities for digital-driven disruptive innovations
and reflects on how the research community can address the challenges of innovations.
Therefore, the 23rd IFIP Conference on e-Business, e-Services, and e-Society will bring together
contributions from various perspectives, disciplines, and communities to advance knowledge
regarding disruptive innovation in a digitally connected, healthy world.

To this end, we would like to invite scholars, practitioners, and research students to submit
original works taking any theoretical, practical, and methodological perspective and present
their papers and findings to the 23rd IFIP Conference on e-Business, e-Services, and e-Society
to be held from 11 until 13, September 2024 at the Open Universiteit, Heerlen, the Netherlands.
Theoretical and empirical papers employing quantitative, qualitative, and/or critical methods
are welcomed.
