**************************************************************************************** *TRACK DESCRIPTION* Social media have become part of the work and life of billions of humans around the globe. Social media platforms facilitate paradigm shifts in the ways we develop relationships, communicate with each other, collaborate, procure goods and services, and exchange information. They allow anyone to virtually share information with a global audience that becomes, in line with the conference theme, digitally united. The ubiquitous nature of social media use requires a better understanding of the role and long-term consequences of this phenomenon for digital transformation on individual, organizational and societal levels. On the one hand, proponents argue that social media promote creation of social capital, result in increased interconnectedness, or facilitate empowerment. On the other hand, opponents express strong concerns over the dangers of social media. The sheer quantity and the sensitivity of the information users disclose gives rise to strong privacy concerns. Other undesirable developments include distraction, addiction, depression, mood disorders. In companies the multivocality, afforded by social media, can yield tensions for organizational coherence. Finally, the phenomenon of fake news has recently emerged as a dangerous development, posing significant challenges for platform providers and users. Considering both positive and negative impacts of social media, managers and policy-makers find themselves confronted with a complex choice of whether these platforms should be regulated and, if so, how. The twitter-ban of sitting US president Donald Trump can be seen as a, very recent, milestone in this context. This track seeks submissions examining the role social media is playing in transforming the networked society and businesses at large. We especially encourage research that reaches out beyond IS theories, is grounded in multiple reference disciplines and applies new intriguing perspectives to document and understand the transformatory impact of social media and social media-related smartphone use.
Topics include, but are not limited to: - Social media and theories about digital collaboration - Digital leadership and virtual teams - Social channels of enterprise knowledge sharing and collaborative work - Co-existence and interweaving of different online and offline (social) communication networks in companies - Blurring boundaries of private and business (e.g. Consumerization, Shadow IT) - Social media-enabled business models - Organizational networking with social media and collaboration technologies - User behaviour on social media and collaboration platforms - Success and “health” of online social communities - Socialness of and in social media and collaboration platforms - The development and use of social media analytics - Digital methods for understanding social media collaboration (e.g. design science approaches, the computational turn; big data methods) - Critical perspectives on social media (e.g. social and information overload; technostress). - Social media and fake news
