Call for Papers - *AMCIS 2025 *

*Minitrack: Digital Transformation in Economies with Limited Internet
Connectivity*

*Track: Digital Transformation and Organizational Information Systems
Research (SIG OSRA)*


This mini-track invites submissions that address the unique challenges and
opportunities of digital transformation in regions with limited internet
connectivity. Many economies in some parts of the world, like Borneo and
similar areas and regions, face considerable barriers to digital progress,
including high connectivity costs, inadequate infrastructure, and frequent
natural disasters.

These challenges underscore the pressing need for innovative strategies and
context-sensitive solutions to drive digital adoption and sustainable
socio-economic development in underserved regions.

We welcome papers that analyze the socio-economic conditions in regions
such as Borneo and explore tailored digital interventions using a variety
of research methodologies, including experimental designs, case studies,
and mixed-methods approaches. *Potential topics include, but are not
limited to:*

   - Strategies to enhance digital access in low-connectivity regions
   - Socio-economic impacts of digital transformation in underserved
   communities
   - Resilience-building through digital solutions for disaster-prone areas
   - Sustainable business and growth models for areas with connectivity
   challenges
   - Case studies of successful digital interventions in underserved
   economies
   - Innovative approaches to affordable and scalable internet
   infrastructure
   - Community-driven digital initiatives and grassroots innovation
   - Policy implications and frameworks for addressing digital disparities

This mini-track fosters interdisciplinary research and collaboration to
develop impactful digital transformation initiatives. By sharing insights
and innovations, manuscripts are expected to advance digital equity and
support long-term development in regions where internet access remains a
critical hurdle.
