*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.
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. In line with the
conference theme, social media can hence contribute to co-creating
a sustainable future. 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.
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
transformational impact of Social Media and Digital Work.
Topics include but are not limited to:
* Theories about Social Media and Digital Work
* 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 (e.g.
co-creation)
* 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 collaboration via social media
(e.g. design science approaches, the computational turn; big data
methods)
* Critical perspectives on social media (e.g. social and
information overload; technostress)
* Societal impact of social media and digital collaboration
* Social media and fake news, misinformation, disinformation
* Social media in times of crises
*IMPORTANT DATES:*
