By adopting, adapting, or developing IS, organizations undergo a considerable transformation often referred to as “digital transformation”. As a result, business processes, business models, work systems, and end-user workplaces are perpetually analyzed, rethought, and changed. Rather than an organization’s IS function, today, customers and IS users are increasingly driving this transformation.

In addition, systems in organizations are interconnected to form inter-organizational information systems. The complex landscape of IS in current organizations thus renews the importance of analyzing the interplay between IS and organizations from a sociotechnical perspective.

Moreover, the emerging focus—especially in the U.S.—that every student in every school should have the opportunity to learn computer science suggests even greater involvement of customers and users on digital transformation in the future.

This year, we especially invite research papers and teaching cases to be submitted on topics related to organizational transformation and IS, business process management, changing workplaces and IS integration, knowledge management and training, end-user computing, and IT consulting and inter-organizational information systems.

We invite contributions related with, but not limited to, the following topics:

• End-user adoption of Web 2.0 and virtual technologies (with a focus on social media and collaborative value creation in the work place)
• End-user initiated customization of ICTs
• End-user and open innovation
• End-user project management
• End-user training, support, and knowledge management in organizational systems
• Innovation and business process management/transformation
• Understanding and managing IS innovations in complex organizational networks and ecosystems
• Integrating and engaging users beyond organization boundaries (e.g. crowdsourcing and open innovation)
• Integrating technology into the workplace (with a focus on managing “bring your own device,” integrating mobile devices, organizational routines, work processes, and improving work processes and employee performance)

1. Mini-Track 1: Digital Service Innovation Across Boundaries (Jens Poeppelbuss, Lars-Olof Johansson, Lauri Wessel)
