Social Information Systems and Platforms: Designing Complexity
Minitrack
in the HICSS 55 Digital and Social Media Track
https://hicss.hawaii.edu/tracks-55/digital-and-social-media/#social-information-systems-and-platforms-designing-complexity-minitrack
Submission deadline: June 15, 2021
In 2022, this minitrack will be organized at HICSS for the fourth
time. It has been created to advance research on social
information systems and platforms, which comprise online
communities, social networking platforms as well as tools for
collaborative work. They rely on user involvement and comprise a
complex set of design elements from economic, organizational, and
technological to social challenges. Possible themes of the
minitrack are, but are not limited to:
• How can organizations leverage social information systems and
platforms to create business value (e.g., in productivity or cost
efficiencies)?
• How may emergent interactions be assessed and measured
(quantitatively, qualitatively)?
• How are social information systems and platforms designed, and
what are suitable methodologies in particular for strategic
alignment?
• How can network effects be fostered on social information
systems and platforms?
• What approaches exist to cope with the complexity of social
information systems and platforms?
• Which actions could be used to foster emergent interactions if a
certain dimension of the business value should be strengthened?
• How may social information systems improve business processes
and workflows beyond increasing business value (e.g. by including
meaning and engagement for users or stakeholders)?
• How can actors be motivated to participate in social information
systems and platforms?
• How does the use of a specific social information system
influence the organization and its strategy?
• Is it possible to contain and prevent potential negative
developments via organizational learning?
• Which types of emerging interactions are used in which
applications?
• Which (new) business models are enabled by social information
systems and how is this accomplished?
• How are social information systems used to create platforms and
exchanges?
• What is the relationship between social networking and
transaction platforms?
• How does the context (technological, organizational, political,
cultural, situational…) of social information systems influence
them?
• Which social impacts are created by social information systems,
and which societal influences impact information systems?
• How are information systems helpful and/or harmful in societal
crisis (pandemics etc.)?
