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-informat...

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.)?
