Track: Internet and the Digital Economy
Minitrack: The Diffusion, Impacts, Adoption and Usage of ICTs upon Society
The aim of this mini-track is to offer a global perspective of how ICTs are
being diffused, used and adopted within society including households,
organizations, government and social communities. Adoption, usage and
diffusion studies are prevalent in Information Systems (IS) research and
offer an insight into many issues surrounding 'how', 'when' and 'what'
technologies are being introduced and their impacts. By undertaking this
research academics, industry and government agencies will learn of how ICTs
are being utilised by various groups and communities in society and what
measures are being undertaken to have households and the various social
communities adopt and use the ICTs with a further consideration of the
impacts of the ICTs. Case studies, experiments, empirical, applied studies
related to ICT use, adoption, impacts and diffusion are emerging on a daily
basis. 

Topics and research areas included in this mini-track are, but are not
limited to:
.	The adoption and usage of ICTs, broadband, mobile phones and other
ICTs within households, communities, or society
.	The use, adoption, impact and diffusion of any classic or innovative
ICTs including electronic commerce initiatives, social technologies, or
Internet-of-Things within the society 
.	Evaluation of the technological and non-technological aspects of the
adoption and usage of ICTs
.	Stakeholder theory and the adoption, diffusion and usage of ICTs
.	Human Computer Interaction issues associated with the adoption,
usage and impact factors in the context of ICTs
.	Economics of the Adoption, Use and Diffusion of ICTs in society and
in households
.	Working practices and their association with adoption, use and
diffusion within organizations
.	Resistance to change, adoption, use and diffusion within society and
organizations
.	Policies and the adoption, diffusion, use of Broadband in societies
and households.
.	Conceptual studies of how a particular ICT is adopted and used
within a specific community
.	Empirical studies of the adoption and impact of ICTs in developing
countries
.	Studies of chronic diseases and ICTs
