[AISWorld] Pre-ICIS DIGIT workshop - Call for Participation

DIGIT 2013 Call for Participation

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 (8:00am-1:00pm) of Sunday, December 15, 2013 in 
Milan, Italy.

The theme this year is "*Embracing Theoretical and Methodological 
Breakthroughs in IT Adoption and Diffusion Research*". Around a 
quarter-century after the early beginnings of adoption and diffusion 
research, IS researchers need to run new paths in order to gather new 
knowledge. Especially in terms of methodologies, more approaches 
capturing all nuances in individual adoption decision making and opening 
black boxes 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, data mining) may provide a significant step forward.

The workshop will include paper presentations, roundtables, poster 
session, and panel discussions. This year, our panel members include 
three leading IS scholars, */Varun Grover/* (Clemson University), */Arun 
Rai /*(Georgia State University) and */Bernard Tan /*(National 
University of Singapore) 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 
join our poster session and roundtable discussions.

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. _As only a limited 
number of seats remain available, please register at your earliest 
convenience._ For information on SIGADIT and the DIGIT workshop, please
