Track: Virtual Communities and Collaboration
Mini-track: Value Appropriation and Creation in Platform-Mediated
Collaborative Environments
Dear Colleges,
We invite submissions to the “Value Appropriation and Creation in
Platform-Mediated Collaborative Environments” mini-track under the
“Virtual Communities and Collaboration” track at the Americas
Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS) 2020 to be held in Salt
Lake City, Utah, August 12-16, 2020.
<Mini-Track Description>
Virtual communities are reshaping the way we communicate and
collaborate with one another, shifting us from spatial- and
temporal-confined interactions towards fluid peer-to-peer
marketplaces and other firm-market hybrids. The platform-mediated
collaboration paradigm has sprung up to facilitate both
individuals and/or organizations in pooling resources for the
pursuit of mutual goals. For instance, we crowdfund innovation
from Kickstarter, staff projects through Amazon’s Mechanical Turk,
incubate products from open-source designs acquired through
micro-manufacturers like FirstBuild, organize virtual meetings
using WebEx, and work with team members via Asana. As virtual
communities redefine the boundaries and structures of human
collaborations, comprehending human behaviors in digital
environments and deriving design considerations for digital
services that optimize collaborative processes is imperative for
realizing collaboration in the virtual space.
This mini-track embraces both retrospective and progressive views
on behavioral and design issues related to virtual collaborative
platforms. Particularly, we are interested in research that
unravels the interplay of human behaviors and virtual
collaborative platforms at the individual, group, organization,
and societal levels as well as the intersection across levels.
Contributions to this mini-track should expand our knowledge on
how technologies govern and shape human behaviors in virtual
communities as well as how such technology-mediated human
behaviors, in turn, inform the design of virtual collaborative
platforms. We welcome both theoretical and empirical contributions
that explore how digital services can be designed to appropriate
and create value in platform-mediated collaborative environments,
especially those that subscribe to inter-disciplinary perspectives
and/or adopt mixed methods.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Influence of individual and collective behaviors on the design
and usage of virtual collaborative platforms
- Influence of virtual collaborative platforms on individual
behaviors, group dynamics, as well as organizational norms and
policies
- Influence of political and socio-economic factors on human
behaviors associated with virtual collaboration
- Patterns of human/human-machine interactions and how digital
services can be leveraged to support such interactions
- Role of individual behaviors in shaping collective outcome on
virtual collaborative platforms
- Data-driven design of virtual collaborative platforms
- Design of business processes and workflow in virtual
collaborations
- Design of communication interfaces and digital assistants on
virtual collaborative platforms
- Design of recommendation systems on virtual collaborative
platforms
- Design of reputation systems on virtual collaborative platforms
- Design of assessment tools on collaborative outcome and
individuals’ contributions on virtual collaborative platforms
- Design modalities, principles, and processes for virtual
collaborative platforms
- Evaluation of system design for virtual collaborative platforms
