The complexity and value of managing in the digital environment

AbstractThis session combines individual presentations with a group discussion. The focus of this session and the expertise of this panel bring together ways of coordinating, evangelizing and adapting in organizations that are more connected digitally than physically. The digital environment is both a management blessing and a burden. The panelists offer varying viewpoints and perspectives into our expanding digital world.The panel session will begin with a brief description of the panel's overall theme and its relevance and importance to the broader ASIST community. This will set the stage and provide context to the three individual panelist presentations. Each panelist will situate his or her talk in context to the overall theme and will elicit key insights and recommendations pertaining to this theme. This should provide a powerful mechanism to engage conversation and the sharing of ideas between panel members and audience participants.This session reflects the interests of SIG‐MGT membership and aligns with the ASIST 2007 theme of “Joining Research and Practice: Social Computing and Information Science”
