The Special Interest Group on the Adoption and Diffusion of Information Technology will again host a pre-ICIS workshop for people interested in information technology adoption and diffusion (DIGIT). DIGIT will be held in the morning of Sunday, December 15, 2013 in Milan, Italy. The theme this year is Embracing Theoretical and Methodological Breakthroughs in IT Adoption and Diffusion Research.
While papers adhering to the theme are encouraged, research in other IT adoption and diffusion research domains will also be considered. Potential topics areas include (but are not exclusive to):
Identifying technologies: feature-centric vs. innovation-centric
Determining stages: initiation, adoption, use, assimilation, adaptation, infusion
Choosing environments: private vs. public sectors, voluntary vs. mandatory settings
Selecting units of analysis: individual, group/team, organization, industry, society, nation
Identifying usage behaviors: infusion use, effective use, adaptive use, innovative use, habitual/automatic use, extended use, and routine use
Crafting empirical designs: cross-sectional, longitudinal, time-series, multilevel, panel
The deadline for submission of papers is Monday, September 2, 2013.
