Call for Papers for the Mini Track "Business Models
for the Digital Economy"
This minitrack serves as a forum for the
presentation and discussion of new and innovative
approaches of business models beyond e-commerce for coping
with the challenges of the digital economy as well as
digital transformation. We consider an economy based on
the digitization of information and the respective
information and communication infrastructure as digital
economy. This new type of economy implies not only
technological, but also and especially structural and
process-related challenges and potential. The way in which
economic value is created will change fundamentally in the
digital economy and thus transform the structure of
economies and societies.
This evolution will radically alter
processes and structures within and between businesses and
further organizations including governmental authorities
leading to the digital economy. New and innovative
products and services are emerging, new infrastructures –
market services as well as technological means – are
enabling the digital economy.
All of these developments characterize the
emerging digital economy and cause new challenges
businesses as well as further organizations have to cope
with. This clearly will have a major impact on how
business models have to be designed. Therefore this
minitrack addresses all topics concerned with the
analysis, design, development, implementation, and control
of future business models for the creation of economic
value in the digital economy from a communication,
organizational, business, economic, and managerial
perspective applying a theoretical, conceptual, or
practical approach.
