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
