The purpose of this special issue is to explore new ways of seeing and theorising InformationSystems (IS) in the context of business models. Rapid developments in information technology(IT) have fostered challenges and changes to existing rms and have provided new opportu-nities to IT-driven startups such as Google, Facebook or (some good European and Asianexamples). These young and upcoming rms are driving innovation and changing the eco-nomic landscape by creating new industries and markets as well changing the existing ones.These rms are creating new types of value for their customers, and thus are able to attractan increasing number of customers on a daily basis.
