The BAM e-Business & e-Government SIG would like to invite academics and practitioners to participate in an interactive workshop hosted by Newcastle University Business School. The workshop aims to explore how digital technologies can underpin innovative approaches and solutions when it comes to tackling business and societal challenges, in turn making a positive contribution and resulting in tangible impact. The workshop also aims to explore various facets of the digital economy, such as how new technologies affect the business environment, how they influence organisational strategies and the underlying business models and how they these are underpinned by functional innovations in order to create new value. More broadly, our workshop also aims to identify emerging technologies and applications in the digital economy, explore theoretical and methodological challenges and finally facilitate collaborations in research and publications among our members.
