Organizational Systems and Technology is a large track at HICSS. It is also eclectic, with topics ranging from Artificial Intelligence to Enterprise Ecosystems to Design Science Research. Much like the information systems field, there are new topics every year. Many of the topics relate closely to what is currently “hot” in the world of practice, such as AI, digital platforms, and concerns about the misuse of technology. Others like IT governance have a timeless value. The Topics in Organizational Systems and Technology minitrack contains papers that do not fit neatly into any of the other minitracks.

We would like to express our appreciation to everyone who contributed to this track. Tung Bui and his staff continue to provide guidance. The minitrack chairs believed in the importance of their minitracks and provided the creativity and hard work required to make the minitracks a reality. The reviewers helped select the papers included in the OST Track and their comments helped authors to improve their work.
