Special Issue of International Journal of Electronic Commerce:
“Dark Sides of Digitalization”
Digitalization of individuals (i.e., the proliferation of digital
technologies in the lives of individuals), organizations (i.e.,
digitalization of work and the business environment) and societies
(i.e., the digital economy) has been enabled by information
technologies (IT) such as smartphones, social media, cloud-based
systems, robots, and artificial intelligence. The adoption and use
of these technologies have reshaped human’s perceptions, actions,
and environments; and are associated with a myriad of benefits for
individuals, organizations, and societies (e.g. connectivity,
enhanced decision-making, increased productivity and economic
growth) (Bleicher & Stanley, 2016; Brynjolfsson et al., 2003;
Huang et al., 2017). Despite the conspicuous benefits,
digitalization has also unveiled “dark sides” at the individual,
organizational, and societal levels. While the bright sides of
digitalization have received much academic attention, the
literature on the dark sides of digitalization is in its early
stages and in need of further research (Turel et al., 2019). This
special issue intends to provide a forum for studies focusing on
the dark side of digitalization at all levels of analysis. The
objective of this special issue is to focus on the drivers,
processes, and consequences of the dark side of digitalization as
well as the potential strategies and ways for rectifying them.
Some of the proposed research topics include, but are not limited
to:
• Issues related to the problematic, addictive, and deviant
patterns of use of IT.
• Security and privacy concerns associated with digitalization and
e-commerce, including surveillance and appropriation of personal
behavior traces for corporate use.
• The dark side of artificial intelligence and interacting with
robots, such as diminished human control and loss of jobs.
• Deceptive computer-mediated communication and fake online
contents and their associated costs.
• Social fissures, inequality, and concentration of power due to
digitalization.
• De-democratization and polarization of society due to
digitalization.
• The adverse effects of e-commerce and sharing economy for
individuals, organizations, and society.
