Digitalization of professional and recreational sports is an emerging area in the IS and management fields. Sports digitalization is an interesting research subject for IS. On the one hand, in traditional sports, we observe that despite a lot of digital innovation, the physical component remains primordial. On the other hand, for born-digital and hybrid sports (e.g., esports, meta-sports), sports performance and consumption are being redefined. We have run this track at ECIS since 2022. Also, some of us were involved in organizing three pre-ICIS workshops on sports digitalization (in 2019, 2022, and 2024).
Track Co-Chairs:
Daniel Westmattelmann, PHWT Vechta University of Münster – Center for Management
Willem Standaert, HEC Liège – Management School of the University of Liège
Xia Xia, Copenhagen Business School
