AIS Special Interest Group on Adoption and Diffusion of Information
Technology

DIGIT 2011 Call for Papers 

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 4, 2011 in Shanghai, China. The theme this
year is Adoption and Diffusion of Information Technology in a Globally
Connected World.

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 9, 2011. 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>

partial scholarships will be offered to all other doctoral students who
submit papers for workshop consideration. There may also be funds available
to assist doctoral students who did not submit a paper, but are interested
in attending the DIGIT workshop. Please contact JJ Hsieh (

DIGIT 2011 Call for Papers

Adoption and Diffusion of Information Technology in a Globally Connected
World

In a changing world with increasing connectivity, adoption of Information
Technology increasingly spans national and regional boundaries.  This may
raise new issues and introduce additional potential inhibitors to adoption,
such as cultural issues and concerns about security and privacy, among
others. Studies on the adoption and diffusion of information technologies
may take on those new challenges and investigate adoption in a globally
connected context.

While papers adhering to the theme are encouraged, 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. Papers
dealing with any stage of the IT diffusion process (e.g., initiation,
adoption, adaptation, use, and/or infusion) at the individual, work group,
organization, or societal level(s) are invited. Submitted research can be
conceptual, analytical, design-oriented, or empirical in nature. 

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. 

This year, all paper submissions should be sent electronically as a
Microsoft Word attachment to  <mailto:digit.workshop at gmail.com>
digit.workshop at gmail.com. Questions regarding paper submissions should be
directed to the program chair JJ Hsieh ( <mailto:JJ.Hsieh at inet.polyu.edu.hk>
JJ.Hsieh at inet.polyu.edu.hk).
