Welcome to DIGIBIZ 2009

Scope

DIGIBIZ 2009 is being launched to serve as the leading international forum for industry and academia involved in electronic business and commerce. The conference will be focused on innovative business models (B2B, B2C, Marketplaces), community centric technologies enabling Digital Businesses (Web 2.0) and Business Models for the Future Internet (Web 3.0).

Abstract

The evolution of the organizations' behaviours and business architectures from their natural to digital forms and the increasing impact the information and communication technologies (ICTs) on every facet of socio-economic activities are creating new possibilities for business and commerce. Support of this evolution requires convergent, adaptive and interoperable environments that can sustain and support the evolution of social processes, business needs and market trends. In order to study the emerging business models capable of sustaining innovative infrastructures and propose novel business solutions we need a multidisciplinary approach. We also need to better understand and exploit network effects that influence the complex eco-systems.

The objective of DIGIBIZ 2009 is to provide a leading international forum for industry and academia representatives involved with ICT, software technologies, organizational studies and socio-technological enablers for business. The Forum aims at combining high scientific quality with industrial relevance.
