چکیده
When Information Technology (IT) Innovations become Disruptive Innovations (DI), they bring along with them a dimension of “wicked problems” due to their disruptive attributes; they however, concurrently usher in an “empowerment opportunity” due to the typical nature of advances in IT.

This panel is set out to open up a fresh perspective to this unique dimension of IT trends that holds both theoretical and practical insight for the IS field.
