*Description of the Track:*

A quarter-century after the publication of one of the most prominent 
models in Information Systems (IS) adoption and diffusion research, this 
track focuses on a better understanding of various factors leading to 
diverse behavioral responses such that some IS and information and 
communication technologies (ICT) are successfully adopted while others 
are rejected. Although this field of study is considered to be one of 
the more mature research areas within the IS discipline, constantly 
emerging technologies, contexts of use, and stakeholder groups ensure 
that the area provides a lot of potential for exciting and fruitful 
investigation. Indeed, the emergence of such new technologies, contexts, 
and users raises the issue of whether previous research findings remain 
applicable to these new circumstances or whether new theoretical 
explanations are required. Especially in terms of methodologies, more 
approaches addressing these new circumstances and capturing all nuances 
in adoption decision making are clearly needed. Furthermore, new 
research approaches on collecting (i.e. experiments, action research, 
mixed methods, longitudinal approaches) and analyzing data (i.e. latent 
growth models, agent based modeling, data mining) may provide a 
significant step towards a better understanding of these factors driving 
and inhibiting IS usage.

The aim of the track therefore is to provide a common platform for the 
presentation and discussion of original research into issues surrounding 
IS/ICT adoption, discontinuation, and rejection from various stakeholder 
group perspectives and at societal, organizational, and individual 
level. Unique papers with great ideas and novel contributions will be 
fast-tracked to a journal.

*Topics of interest include **(but are certainly not limited to): ***

  * Individual and/or group level acceptance versus resistance to IS/ICT
  * Technology design factors influencing IS/ICT adoption and diffusion
  * Organizational adoption and diffusion of IS/ICT (e.g., ERP, ECM, HRIS)
  * Adoption of IS/ICT in a residential/ household context
  * Adoption or diffusion of IS/ICT in specific sectors (such as government)
  * Adoption and diffusion of smart phones, wearable devices, and other
    mobile technologies
  * Adoption and diffusion of social networking technologies and other
    Social Media applications
  * Socio-economic / geographical / cultural factors relevant to IS/ICT
    adoption
  * IS/ICT acceptance before/in/after organizational IS/ICT
    implementation projects
  * The digital divide (e.g., broadband, social inclusion)
  * The role of personality characteristics (e.g., Big 5) in adoption of ICT
  * Theoretical essays, reviews, concepts, policies, and tools of and
    for IS/ICT adoption and diffusion
  * The dark side of technology adoption -- drawbacks, social, and
    ethical issues
  * Different forms of IT usage -- adaptive, excessive, and motivated Use
  * Methodological issues regarding IT adoption and diffusion
