Special Session on Digital Business Networks (DBN 2011)

Introduction

The dynamic growth of ICT in the last few years has initiated a transition of well-developed and developing economies in the direction of an information society. On the basis of this information "order", a new economy called informational, global or network-ized has grown. The new economy has caused changes in the logic of enterprise organization. Knowledge, unique resources and key competences are being brought to the foreground. Increasing competitiveness is forcing a new organizational model characterized by newer and faster alliances created more frequently.

The aim of Digital Business Networks (DBN 2011) special session is the presentations of the new organizational models which based on networks and virtuality and constitute a response to the changes brought about by the era of the information society.
