The MIS Quarterly is issuing a Call for Papers for a Special Issue on Cocreating IT Value: New Capabilities and Metrics for Multi-Firm Environments. The guest editors for this special issue are Varun Grover (Clemson University -- vgrover@clemson.edu) and Rajiv Kohli (College of William & Mary -- rajiv.kohli@mason.wm.edu). The submission deadline is October 15, 2009.

The special issue focuses on understanding how IT value emanates from digital capabilities in multi-firm environments. The intent is to encourage researchers to respond to this call by improving theoretical development and metrics for such environments, ultimately increasing the pragmatic value of IT value research.

Most research on IT value has examined relationships between IT investments and organizational outcomes. More recently, the thesis has expanded to examining complementary resources, capabilities and other mediating factors in value creation. However, given the centrality of the IT value question to our field, it is important to expand the agenda to include how to best cocreate value from IT in multi-organizational forms. These forms raise new issues of value creation, risk allocation, complementary investments, capability building, adoption, absorption and incentives among collaborating organizations.

The special issue focuses on understanding how IT value emanates from digital capabilities in multi-firm environments. The intent is to encourage researchers to respond to this call by improving theoretical development and metrics for such environments, ultimately increasing the pragmatic value of IT value research.
