Track: Adoption and Diffusion of Information Technology (SIG ADIT)


Co-Chairs:  Elizabeth White Baker, Wake Forest University bakerew at wfu.edu

Despite the prevalence of technology in business, the diffusion and adoption
of information technology (IT) remains a challenge with many research
questions left to be answered. The answers to these questions are valuable
given that technology usage is a prerequisite for realizing the value from
often substantial technology investments (DeLone and McLean 1992; DeLone and
McLean 2003; Hirschheim 2007). Yet, despite the level of investment in IT
within organizations today, many till struggle to find the link between the
adoption of the technology and its predictors and consequences.

The struggles with understanding the impact of IT is further complicated by
the evolving world order. New technologies such as social media and cloud
computing potentially change the nature and speed of diffusion. New
organizational contexts such as inter‐organizational alliances, the push
for e‐government, and the societal focus on IT‐enabled healthcare may also
play a role. Further the pervasiveness of IT in forms such as iPads and
smartphones may change the types of individuals who adopt earlier (or later)
as well as their role in spreading innovations or in the types of other
technologies that are adopted. The intent of this track is to focus on these
and many other issues related to the diffusion of IT. We welcome innovative
research into this topic, especially papers that bridge the gap between
academic and business thought.


Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:


*	The impact of IT adoption on the global competitiveness of firms
*	The adoption of sustainable IT initiatives
*	Multilevel units of analysis impact on diffusion
*	Individual and/or group‐level resistance to technology adoption
*	Technology design factors influencing adoption
*	Diffusion of smartphones and other mobile technologies
*	The consumerization of technology and consumer technology in the
enterprise
*	Barriers to diffusion and adoption
*	Conceptualizations of user groups and adopter categories
