[AISWorld] DIGIT 2011 Call-for-Papers (pre-ICIS workshop)

[Marcus Rothenberger]

AIS Special Interest Group on Adoption and Diffusion of Information
Technology (SIG ADIT)

 

DIGIT 2011

 

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. 

 

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

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 digit.workshop at gmail.com. Questions regarding
paper submissions should be directed to the program

chair JJ Hsieh (JJ.Hsieh at inet.polyu.edu.hk).
