               Minitrack:  Inter-Organizational Collaborative Dynamics and Role of Information Technology

 

 

Within the 48th Hawaiian International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS), we organize a minitrack on Inter-organizational Collaborative Dynamics and the Role of Information Technology. The 48th HICSS, one of the most prominent Conferences on Information Systems and Sciences worldwide, will be held on January 5-8, 2015, Grand Hyatt Kauai, Hawaii (http://www.hicss.hawaii.edu).

 

 

Breakthrough innovation increasingly requires intense interaction that involves external parties jointly solving problems or exploring new opportunities. In healthcare, care coordination and transitions of care require coordination of patient care among multiple and often independent care settings that are often completely different systems of care, both professionally and institutionally. Multiparty cloud solutions and infrastructure management services require close collaboration by multiple vendors and the client particularly during times of transition. The aftermath of catastrophic events often involves impromptu groups of individuals from different organizations and backgrounds that collaborate to provide disaster relief.

 

This track explores inter-organizational collaboration particularly in terms of multi-level dynamics and the role of information and communication  technology in such dynamics. We welcome papers that theoretically or empirically advance our understanding . We will solicit excellent papers that will develop and expand this area. The papers can use any acceptable methodology and theory. We welcome papers at any level of analysis and encourage papers that take a cross level perspective.
