Overview

Disruptive innovations generated by digital technologies allow firms to reinforce their competitive advantages by differentiating themselves from their competitors; more specifically, they create organizational capital. Digital business transformation is a journey to adopt and deploy digital technologies and business models in order to improve performance quantifiably. Thus, digital transformations change business models, value creation and can positively influence a company’s reputation (Anderson, 2014).

Digitalization enables the emergence of new entrepreneurs who, unlike their predecessors, can use digital technologies and online communities and are able to manage the key processes needed to create/launch a new venture moving from idea generation and opportunity recognition, to intellectual property protection, production, marketing and distribution (Bryniolfsson and MCAfee, 2014). Technologies such as social media, open source software and hardware, crowdsourcing, e-trust and online reputation assessment, 3D printing, digital imaging and big data are empowering would-be entrepreneurs, while radically altering the competitive landscape, and contributing to reduce significantly the barriers between invention and the creation of a new company (Kelly, 2016).

Despite these new trends, innovations and new venture creation are still largely analyzed by using theories and concepts which were developed before the digital revolution. Thus, there is a prospective struggle to provide a full account and understanding of these new trends (Elia et al., 2016). On the other hand, supporters and optimist thinkers who announce the emergence of an industrial revolution and a new era of creativity and prosperity often fail to provide a neutral point of view and data to prove that such a big shift is really taking place.

We invite contributions that will help to better assess, analyze, and theorize how digital innovations emerge and create value, how these innovations affect the structuring of markets and business models, how to implement and finance them.

 

We welcome the submission of research papers on the following (non-exhaustive) list of

topics:

  • Digital transformation, Strategy and Competitiveness of firms
  • Digital Marketing
  • Management of digital innovation and Organizational impacts
  • Protection and development of digital innovations
  • Digital Technologies
  • Digital innovation and Business model
  • Digital innovation and Entrepreneurship / Intrapreneurship
  • Digital innovation and Knowledge management
  • Dynamics and growth strategy of digital firms
  • Financing of digital innovations and New ways of financing: crowdfunding, P2P lending, FinTech…
  • Digital finance, money, banking, and insurance: Bitcoin, cryptocurrency, future of payments, virtual bank, mobile bank, AssurTech, etc.

 

Details of Paper Submission and Due Date

Interested contributors should submit preferably full papers in PDF files (in English or French), but extended abstracts (1,000 to 1,500 words) may also be considered if they show considerable promise, no later than March 15, 2018 through the conference website: https://dif2018.sciencesconf.org
