The digitalization process and its outcomes in the 21st century accelerate transformation and the creation of sustainable societies. Our decisions, actions and even existence in the digital world generate data, which offer great opportunities for revising current business methods and practices. There is a critical need for novel theories embracing big data analytics ecosystems. The value of digital transformations emerging through big data analytics ecosystems is an area that receives increased attention. The multiple actors of such ecosystems need to cooperate or collaborate to develop the necessary capabilities for value creation, as well as for business and societal change. Thus, it is important to recognize that value can emerge through different means and can be captured through different measures.
The 18th IFIP Conference on e-Business, e-Services and e-Society aims to bring together contributions from a variety of perspectives, disciplines and communities for the advancement of knowledge regarding Digital transformation for a sustainable society in the 21st century. To this end, we invite scholars, practitioners and research students to submit and present their papers and findings to the 18th IFIP Conference on e-Business, e-Services, and e-Society to be held in September 2019 at Trondheim, Norway. Theoretical and empirical papers employing quantitative, qualitative, and/or critical methods are welcomed.
