Description:

This mini track serves as a forum for the presentation and discussion of new and innova-tive approaches of business models beyond e-commerce for coping with the challenges of the digital economy. We consider an economy based on the digitization of information and the respective information and communication infrastructure as digital economy. This new type of economy implies not only technological, but also and especially struc-tural and process-related challenges and potential. The way in which economic value is created will change fundamentally in the digital economy and thus transform the structure of economies and societies.

 

This evolution will radically alter processes and structures within and between industries leading to the digital economy. All of these developments characterize the emerging digi-tal economy and cause new challenges businesses have to cope with. This clearly will have a major impact on how business models have to be designed. Therefore this mini track addresses all topics concerned with the analysis, design, development, implementa-tion, and control of future business models for the creation of economic value in the digi-tal economy from a communication, organizational, business, economic, and managerial perspective applying a theoretical, conceptual, or practical approach.

 

Suggested topics include but are not limited to the following:

  • Challenges and foundations of the digital economy
  • Analytical and architectural frameworks for new business models
  • Design approaches/methods for new business models
  • Models and modeling techniques/approaches for new business models
  • Industry perspectives on business models
  • Challenges of converging industries:
    Financial industry (e.g., emerging intermediaries, private/retail banking, insurance)
    Media industry (e.g., publishing, music business)
  • Telecommunications (e.g., mobile network operators)
  • A business model perspective on
    Mobile Business
    ‘Ubiquitous Commerce’
    ‘Collaborative Commerce’
  • ‘Web 2.0’ and new business models
  • Trust and new business models
