*Special Issue: The Old, the Young and the Sea of IS: New Perspectives on
the Development, Adoption and Application of Information Systems*



*Introduction*

In the past decade, we have observed the rapidly changing research trend in
information systems (IS) in response to the fast-developing information
technologies and the surrounding environment. Sizzling topics, such as
social media and big data, have swept the field in recent years, and
interests in new technologies, such as FinTech and IoT, are on the rise. It
has been of no doubt exciting and meaningful to discuss their capacity to
change our daily lives and influences on the businesses.

However, despite the rapid movement of IS research trends, more fundamental
inquiries including how to develop, adopt and apply IS still seek for
answers. The subject of IS may change every year, but the process of using
it from the user perspective does not, because it is the combined
reflections of the innate human desires and affections. Understanding ‘how
to’ develop, adopt and apply various types of IS will provide more
long-term implications that do not easily change while the subject of
technology changes.

Therefore, this special issue aims to broadly discuss how various types of
IS can be developed, adopted and applied. The possible topics include
classical ones, such as trust and TAM, as well as recent ones, such as big
data and social media. The submission of papers that discuss classical IS
topics from a new perspective are encouraged. The title of the special
issue, *The Old, the Young and the Sea of IS*, implies new perspectives
(the Young) on classical topics (the Old) for in-depth understanding (the
Sea). We welcome your submission.
