Digital technologies are often ascribed potentials to disrupt existing status-quo. Designing and organizing for the resulting digital disruption holds opportunities for the digital transformation of aspiring disrupters and threatened incumbents. This mini-track is interested in both perspectives and welcomes both empirical and conceptual studies.
Emerging IS research shows that creating or responding to digital disruption requires substantive strategic and organizational reactions, which in turn informs their digital transformation choices. Pertinent questions include – what are the mechanisms for digital disruption? How should firms organize for digital transformation? How should firms organize for scaling and generativity? These are but a few questions that are relevant for this mini track. We encourage conceptual and empirical insights for advancing both theoretical and practical knowledge in these domains. For example, digital innovations not only draw on information technology, they also demand novel designs of organizational structures and business models to be impactful.
We seek theoretical contributions that help us better understand these phenomena as well as practice-oriented knowledge and design artifacts for dealing with or leveraging digital disruption and transforming and organization.
