Call For Minitrack Proposals
2015 Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS, http://amcis2015.aisnet.org), August 13-15, 2015, Puerto Rico.
Track: Adoption and Diffusion of Information Technology (SIGADIT)
Along with the advances in information technology, adoption and diffusion of information technology continues to be a valuable topic. In the new technological environments such as the quick spread of cloud computing and Big Data, researchers who study adoption and diffusion of IT need to take new paths to conduct “blue ocean” research in this area. In terms of methodologies, using mixed and novel methods for collecting (i.e. surveys, experiments, simulations, mixed methods) and analyzing data (latent growth models, event studies, agent based modeling, multi-level analysis, diary studies, data- and text- mining) can provide a significant step forward. Hence, we call for scholarly effort investigating adoption and diffusion of IT with new theoretical perspectives and novel empirical and/or analytical methodologies providing new insights and limiting bias to achieve a more holistic understanding about why and how people use IT.
To deeper our understanding of the important issues of adoption and diffusion of information technology, AIS Special Interest Group in Adoption and Diffusion of Information Technology (http://www.sigadit.net) is hosting a track on adoption and diffusion of information technology at AMCIS 2015. More details about this track can be found at: http://amcis2015.aisnet.org/call-for-minitrack-proposals/track-descriptions
We are calling for minitrack proposals to this track. As minitrack chairs, you will be responsible for
a) promoting your minitrack to generate manuscript submissions to your minitrack.
b) recruiting and assigning reviewers for manuscripts submitted to the minitrack; and
c) making recommendations to track chairs about each manuscript submitted to your minitrack.
To submit a minitrack proposal, you must submit
a) minitrack chair(s) (names, emails, affiliation);
b) minitrack title;
c) a short description of minitrack for the AMCIS 2015 website (up to 150 words);
d) a call for papers for your minitrack; and
e) a short rationale as to why your minitrack should be included in the track. (please relate your minitrack proposal to the track description.)
To submit a minitrack proposal, send an email with your proposal as an attachment to the track co-chairs: Heshan Sun (sunh at clemson.edu<mailto:sunh at clemson.edu>) and Andreas Eckhardt (eckhardt at wiwi.uni-frankfurt.de<mailto:eckhardt at wiwi.uni-frankfurt.de>), and at the same time cc your email to AMCIS2015prog at ucf.edu<mailto:AMCIS2015prog at ucf.edu>
