CALL FOR PAPERS COLLABORATION SYSTEMS FOR OPEN INNOVATION In the Collaboration Systems and Technology Track of the 43rd Hawaii International Conference on System Science, 2010 http://www.hicss.hawaii.edu/ Submission Date: June 15, 2009 The best papers will be offered to be published in a special issue of the International Journal of Networking and Virtual Organisations. MINITRACK TOPICS The open innovation paradigm suggests that organisations increasingly need to team up with other organizations and customers in developing and refining ideas, services and products. Hitherto, research on IT and open innovation has mainly explored how open innovation practices can stimulate the development of novel technologies. However, little research has studied how information technologies can support open innovation practices. For example, the networked nature of open innovation suggests that collaboration systems can support innovation practices. In this minitrack, we welcome papers that explore how various collaboration systems can enable and support open innovation in inter-organizational and intra-organizational settings, and in user and consumer networks. Topics and research areas include, but are not limited to: * Collaboration systems and open innovation * Social software and open innovation * IT and inter-organizational innovation * IT and intra-organizational innovation * IT and consumer innovation networks * IT and user innovation networks * Management of IT for open innovation * Design, application and evaluation of IT for open innovation * Theoretical foundations, methodological issues and practical approaches IMPORTANT DATES June 15: Submission deadline August 15: Author notification September 15: Submission of final version CO-CHAIRS Stefan Hrastinski (Primary Contact) Department of Information Science and Swedish IT-User Centre, Uppsala University stefan.hrastinski@dis.uu.se Mats Edenius Swedish IT-User Centre, Uppsala University mats.edenius@nita.uu.se Niklas Z.
