[AISWorld] DIGIT 2010 at ICIS -- Final CFP

[Anand Jeyaraj]

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 on Sunday, December 12, 2010 in St. Louis , Missouri , as a pre-conference
event of the International Conference on Information Systems
(ICIS). The theme this year is Reflections of the Past and Gateway to the
Future of Adoption and Diffusion Research.

 

The workshop will include paper roundtables, panel discussions and
tutorials. Faculty members and doctoral students are encouraged to attend and
submit papers for roundtable discussion. Doctoral students submitting papers to
the conference will be eligible for a workshop scholarship that covers the
DIGIT registration fee**. The deadline for submission of papers is Friday, September
10, 2010. Notification of acceptance or rejection will be made in early
November. See the Call for Papers below for more details. 

 

In order to foster the workshop atmosphere that
has developed in previous meetings, registration will again be limited to about
40 people. Refreshments will be provided to attendees. You can register for
DIGIT during the regular ICIS registration process. For information on SIGADIT
and past DIGIT workshops, please go to http://www.sigadit.org or contact the

CALL FOR PAPERS

 

Reflections of the Past and Gateway to the
Future of Adoption and Diffusion Research

 

Research on adoption and diffusion of IT
innovation has spanned several decades. This year’s DIGIT workshop aims to
reflect on what we have learned so far, identify outstanding or emergent
questions in different spheres, and craft future directions and methods for
research. To this end, we solicit papers on IT adoption and diffusion that
serve these dual goals of showing where we have been in the past and where we
may be headed in the future. Potential topics for such examination include:

§        
Theory:  What current theories explain and what they fail to explain

§        
Measurement:  What current techniques measure and what they fail to
measure

§        
Methods:  What current analysis methods yield and what they fail to yield

 

While papers adhering to the theme are
preferred, research in other IT adoption and diffusion research domains will be
considered. Potential topic areas include (but are not exclusive to): 

§        
Identifying technologies:  enterprise systems, inter-organization systems,
personal systems

§        
Conceptualizing innovations:  feature-centric vs. innovation-centric

§        
Determining stages:  initiation, adoption, use, assimilation, adaptation,
infusion

§        
Choosing environments:  private vs. public sectors, voluntary vs. captive
vs. mandatory settings

§        
Selecting units of analysis:  individual, group/team, organization,
industry, society

§        
Identifying antecedent categories:  technology, individual, group/network,
organization

§        
Crafting empirical designs:  cross-sectional, longitudinal, panel

§        
Collecting data:  case studies, experiments, surveys, simulations, mixed
methods

§        
Analyzing data:  structural equations, latent growth models,
event history, event sequence  

 

In the interest of discussing the most current
research in this area, working papers are encouraged as well as more complete
papers. 

 

All submissions will be blind reviewed. Papers
should not have been published previously in a proceedings or journal, nor be
under review elsewhere, but may be submitted elsewhere after the DIGIT meeting.
At least one author must register and attend the workshop to present the paper
if the work is accepted. 

 

Instructions for Contributors 

 

All papers should be double-spaced and
submitted in Microsoft Word format. Working papers or research in process are
limited to ten double-spaced pages. Research papers are limited to twenty
double-spaced pages. Both types of submissions should include an abstract. Page
counts exclude references. The title page (exclusive of the page counts) should
include the paper title and the authors' names, affiliations, and e-mail addresses.
The main body of the paper should have a title, but no author identification.
All paper submissions should be sent electronically as a Microsoft Word
attachment to digit.workshop at gmail.com. Questions regarding paper submissions
should be directed to the Program Chair, Marcus Rothenberger (marcus.rothenberger at unlv.edu).
