The transformation is enabled by new and pervasive ICT infrastructures that foster disruptive product- and process-innovations. Recent innovations in new business practices such as zero latency business, mass customisation, product modularisation, enterprise application integration, collaborative supply chain management, mobile commerce, customer integration in product development and distribution are just few examples of deep business transformations the internet and mobile technologies have launched. Internet and mobile technologies affect all facets of production, distribution and usage of information goods and significantly transform development-, production- and distribution of physical goods in ?Old-Economy? industries. The impact of internet based technologies is visible in current corporate strategies. These strategies recognize new competitive challenges within existing value chains that dissolve and need to be reassembled. Competition is shifting from an inter-company level to a competition over strategic partners, architectural control and alternative value estraction logics. This we call competition within and between emerging value webs- new value chain arrangements. Value webs consist of networks of partners and competitors which collaborate and compete across and within various stages of value chain. The interactions are enabled and constrained by ICT capability and value extraction within the web draws upon specific architectural responsibility and control assigned to different partners. Information systems researchers have directed their attention to specific examples of these Net-Enabled Value Webs. Net Enabled Value Webs can execute transactions, rapidly exchange information, and innovate through new business processes, and at an unprecedented pace. Accordingly inter-organizational cooperation is often discussed in terms of B2B-Marketplaces, supply chain management, virtual organizations, or strategic alliances etc. Also new types of collaborative communities, e.g. on-line communities or communities of practice, are emerging which have changed the relationships between producer and consumers. Information and communication technologies both enable and constrain these and other types of value web arrangements. Recently, the impact and potential of mobile & ubiquitous computing technologies and the transformation of wireless communications to broadband data services has attracted increased attention in shaping new value creation networks (see e.g. several tracks in conferences such as ICIS etc. and special editions of journals such Electronic Markets, etc.). There is an urgent need to reconfigure large portions of the value chains that deliver mobile services. All these aspects and research topics describe a paradigm shift in value creation and extraction in the age of the internet. Since the research in value webs requires multidisciplinary research involving applied computer and information sciences (such as computer supported cooperative work, artificial intelligence, information retrieval, human computer interaction, information systems, ontologies) and social sciences (such as economics, management science), the minitrack addresses both empirical and conceptual research that draws upon the interdisciplinary nature of the field. The topics covered in the minitrack include, but are not restricted to the following subjects: ? New IT-enabled services and service architectures in and for value webs ? Architectures and infrastructures for value webs (architectural control and value extraction, scope and flexibility, Application Integration within Value Webs, evolvability) ? New types of platforms for value webs (e-collaboration, collaborative market places, R&D knowledge communities) ? New technologies enabling value webs (e.g. RFID, smart dust) ? Standards and ontologies for Inter- and Intra-organizational Collaboration in Value Webs (web service choreographies, semantics) ? Customer Integration in value webs (customer knowledge sharing,) ? Supply chain management, marketplaces, and product development in Value Webs ? Interfaces, methods, products, service design and social considerations for collaboration in value webs ? Power, trust and social control in technology mediated value webs ? Methods for supporting, creating and adapting value webs ? Adoption and diffusion of ICT in value webs, the role and impact of standards as coordinating mechanism ? Case studies and reference models for value webs in different industries ? Social, political and economic impact of value webs ? Business models and economic analyses for value webs For further Information please visit the mini-track website http://www.value-webs.org.
