Dear colleagues,
We are delighted to invite papers and participation to our HICSS-55 minitrack on 'Managing the Dynamics of Platforms and Ecosystems' (deadline: June 15, 2021). The minitrack follows six years of successful exploration of platform and ecosystems since HICSS-49.

It is well understood that, in order to compete and survive, organizations have to consider platform- and ecosystem-centric perspectives (Parker et al. 2016; de Reuver 2018; McIntyre et al. 2020). Today, digital technologies shape firm identities, physical and digital resources merge, and even traditionally physical industries become "digital first" (e.g., Wessel et al. 2021, Baskerville et al. 2020). Platforms and ecosystems play a central role in the rapid emergence and proliferation of the technologies that afford this digital transformation, e.g., human-machine ecosystems, digital twins, cloud services, artificial intelligence, 5G.
Although understanding the value and importance of platforms and ecosystems across various industries and domains has grown significantly over the years, there is still a paucity of research examining the dynamic and evolutionary aspects of platform and ecosystem management (e.g., de Reuver 2018; Gawer 2020). Building on last year's experience, we seek contributions that focus on the "dynamic" aspects of platforms and ecosystems. How do platforms and ecosystems emerge and what are the mechanisms driving their evolution? How do platforms and ecosystems adapt to changes in the technological, social, economic, ecologic, or political environment? How can specific platform and ecosystem actors succeed within these dynamics and manage even unintended consequences?
