Organizing for the Digital World: An Overview of Current IT Solutions to Support Individuals, Communities and Societies

This book collects some of the best contributions to the 14th conference of the Italian Chapter of AIS (ItAIS), which was held at the University of Milano-Bicocca, in Milano, on October the 6th and the 7th. ItAIS is an established forum for scholars, researchers and practitioners involved in the Information Systems (IS) field and akin scholarly disciplines where both Italian researchers and scholars from all over the world gather to present and discuss the most important trends in their domain of studies and applications. More precisely, this books collects the revised and extended version of the papers that were selected for their contribution to the more technological and IT-oriented side of the broader conference theme, which was: “Organizing for Digital Economy: societies, communities and individuals”. This main theme, which this book inflects along the IT dimension, acknowledges the opportunity, as well as the responsibility, of the researchers and practitioners involved in the IS community to conceive, develop and present technologies, in the broadest sense of this term (and hence including also infrastructures, platforms, classification schemas, organizational constructs, protocols, architectures, tools), to enable, support and foster the fluid organization of the socio-economic context in which organizations, communities and individuals work, act and interact.
