*AIS Special Interest Group on Adoption and Diffusion of Information
Technology*
DIGIT 2013 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 15, 2013 in Milan, Italy. The
theme this year is *Embracing Theoretical and Methodological
Breakthroughs in IT Adoption and Diffusion Research*.
The workshop will include paper roundtables, panel discussions and
poster presentations. This year, our honorable panel members include
leading IS scholars (*/Varun Grover, Arun Rai/* and */Bernard Tan/*)**to
discuss new theoretical and methodological breakthroughs for adoption
and diffusion research beyond the traditional ways. Faculty members and
doctoral students are encouraged to attend and submit papers for
roundtable discussion and poster session. 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 Monday, September 2, 2013._ Notification of acceptance or
rejection will be made in late October.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 50
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 contact the2013 workshop

*Embracing Theoretical and Methodological Breakthroughs in IT Adoption
and Diffusion Research *
Around a quarter-century after the early beginnings of adoption and
diffusion research in the late eighties, IS researchers need to run new
paths in order to gather new knowledge and keep adoption and diffusion
of IT as one of the core topics of the entire IS domain. Especially in
terms of methodologies, more approaches capturing all nuances in
individual adoption decision making opening black boxes such as how
attitudes turn into usage behaviors or distinct behavioral patterns are
clearly needed. As common method variance and sole perceptual data could
turn more and more into obstacles, new ideas on collecting (i.e.
experiments, simulations, mixed methods) and analyzing data (latent
growth models, event studies, agent based modeling, multi-level
analysis, diary studies, data mining) may provide a significant step
forward. More controlled settings that allow for gathering objective
data could soon be more common.Hence, we call for scholarly effort
investigating the adoption and diffusion of IT with new theoretical
underlyings and new empirical and/or analytical methods providing new
insights and limiting bias to achieve a more holistic understanding
about why and how people use IT.
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
In the interest of discussing the most current research in this area,
research-in-progress papers are encouraged as well as full research
papers. 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
