Wave after wave of novel digital technologies are continually enabling new products, processes, and modes of organizing. Digital innovations rooted in mobile and distributed computing, social media, digital platforms, data analytics, artificial intelligence, blockchains, Internet of Things, cloud computing, virtual reality, and robots are reshaping and disrupting established ways of business operations. Digital innovations generate new possibilities for innovation and entrepreneurship in a wide range of domains including healthcare, education, retail, finance, manufacturing, and service industries. Indeed, organizations must innovate continuously in order to thrive.

Digital innovation, entrepreneurship and transformation are ubiquitous. Work is increasingly being virtualized, digitalized, or even completely automated. New platform-based forms of digital organizing have emerged that take advantage of crowdsourcing, crowdfunding, peer-to-peer, and virtual or augmented reality. Innovation processes themselves are becoming less bounded, more open, less predictable and more fluid. New business models of the sharing economy, (e.g., Uber, Lyft, AirBnB) are disrupting traditional industries and creating new marketspaces.

Our track invites researchers to re-evaluate traditional assumptions and create new theories and methods about how digital technologies shape, change, or even upend knowledge about processes and outcomes of innovation, entrepreneurship, and new business models. The IS research community is uniquely positioned to address these issues, for at least two reasons. First, the information systems field emphasizes knowledge that attends to socio-technical organizing. Second, the information systems field is inherently interdisciplinary in nature, covering behavioral, organizational, economic, and technical aspects of information and communication technologies.

The research challenges related to issues of digital innovation, entrepreneurship and new business models require the joint effort of scholars with an interest in the role of digital technology, be they from fields of information systems research, management science, organizational studies, innovation management, entrepreneurship or other disciplines. We welcome interdisciplinary work, but require a salient focus on information systems in the formulation of the research objectives and contribution.
