Social Information Systems-Minitrack
In the Digital and Social Media Track
https://hicss.hawaii.edu/tracks-54/digital-and-social-media/#social-information-systems-minitrack
Minitrack Description
Social information systems combine social media technologies and
principles of open collaboration. They comprise a large variety of
software including social networking platforms, online/content
communities, collaborative project management tools collaborative
technologies, blogs, wikis, and sites for crowdsourcing being
among the well-known.
Social Information Systems differ from other types of information
systems by enabling emergent interactions. Emergent interactions
are defined during run-time by two or more participants of a
social information system. No plan or approval from a supervisor
or management is necessary. In this way, social information
systems differ fundamentally from the prevailing information
systems, so-called Tayloristic information systems. Tayloristic
Information Systems, build upon the ideas of Taylorism, enable
users only to interact according to specific features and design
fixed in software. Although the users may initiate these
interactions on their own. they are bound to the interaction types
defined in the information systems.
Social information systems have profound practical implications on
the way individuals communicate and the way business processes are
organized. Platform business models such as AirBnB need social
information systems to evaluate and integrate resources. The
so-called "Gig-economy" posits that crowdsourcing platforms have
the power to change hierarchical coordination towards more
market-like and fluid forms where individuals bring in their
competencies for specific projects, I.e. "gigs". From this
perspective, social information systems may be regarded as "glue"
in distributed business processes. The field of social information
systems comprises technical aspects and requirements (e.g. Web 2.0
techniques, semantic interoperability, data analysis and fusion,
social analytics) as well as their embedding in business processes
and business models. Among the examples are the use of social
information systems in business process management and
applications, such as social customer relationship management.
Focus of Social Information Systems Minitrack
For the fourth time, the minitrack "Social Information Systems"
promotes the scientific exchange on social information systems, in
particular regarding the economic, organizational and
technological challenges. Possible themes are, but are not limited
to:
· How can organizations leverage social information systems to
create business value (e.g. in productivity or cost efficiencies)
?
· Which kind of actions could be used to foster interactions if a
certain dimension of the business value should be strengthened?
· How current business processes and workflow have to be modified
in order to leverage social information systems in the most
effective way?
· Can social information systems improve business processes and
workflows beyond business value increase and include value,
meaning, and engagement for their users (or stakeholders)?
· Is any type of associated methodology that helps to improve
productivity in the social information systems and align them with
the strategic aims of the company?
· How can users of social systems be motivated to participate?
· How does the use of a specific social information system
influence the organization?
· How is it possible to measure the value created by emergent
interactions in a quantitative way?
· Which types of emerging interactions are used in which
applications?
· Which kinds of new business models are enabled by social
information systems and how is this accomplished?
· How are social information systems used to create platforms and
exchanges?
· Are there other types of emergent interactions?
