CALL FOR PAPERS

AMCIS 2021, August 9-13

MINI-TRACK: Disruptive Start-ups vs. Traditional Companies

TRACK: Organizational Transformation @ Information Systems (SIG OSRA)

DESCRIPTION

The opportunities provided by digital technology and lower entry barriers to markets gave rise to large numbers and diversity of start-ups that confront incumbent firms with fast changing competitive landscape and the disruption of their traditional businesses.

Especially in traditional service industries like Financial Services, Legal Services and Health Services, new competitors -referred to as Fintechs, Legaltechs and Healthtechs- start to mix up competition. This trend continues and stretches far beyond the mentioned industries.

Incumbent companies struggle to compete with these new entities due to the differences in business logics entailing, e.g., speed, agility, and customer-centricity. Also, these start-ups specifically target weak spots in the value chain of the traditional businesses. This makes them both a pain and a gain for the traditional companies: A pain, as they take business away. A gain, as successful collaboration or integration can elevate the competitive position of the traditional business. Topics of interest for this mintrack include

* New business logic and advanced business models * Value co-creation and value appropriation * New forms of digital collaboration and co-opetition * Forms and mechanisms of collaboration * Development and governance of digital ecosystem * New forms of organizing such as network organization * Lessons learned from integrating start-ups into incumbent firms * Knowledge integration and re-combination across firm boundaries * Case studies from Fintech, Legaltech, Healthtech and other startup industries * International aspects of start-ups and their interaction with traditional businesses
