AIS Special Interest Group on Adoption and Diffusion of Information Technology http://www.sigadit.net/digit.html



Call for Papers *Bridging the Internet of People, Data, and Things*

Submissions Due: Friday, September 7th, 2018

Workshop: Thursday, December 13, 2018



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 on Thursday, December 13, 2018 in San Francisco.



How is the adoption and diffusion of Information Technology changing in this era of global, interconnected space between people, data and things? This year’s workshop calls for papers that address these issues, as well as other topics related to the adoption and diffusion of IT.



With the increase availability of data and connected things, the nature of the interactions with people is changing, and individual and organizations are empowered with data and devices for many different purposes. From this can emerge networks of people, data, and things that influence society and brings new dilemmas, questions and uncertainties for both organizations and individuals. Among others, a large number of individuals is challenged with adapting to those changes but we also see plenty of benefits for individuals and organizations. In order to understand the challenges and opportunities related to adoption and diffusion, we aim to provide an interactive forum by bringing together leading academics to discuss the critical issues of IT use when bridging the Internet of people, things, and data. Now in its 29th year the SIGADIT community offers the 2018 DIGIT workshop to provide researchers with an opportunity to discuss the implications of this development. While papers adhering to the theme are encouraged, research in other IT adoption and diffusion research domains will also be considered. Potential topics areas include (but are not exclusive to):

●           Changes in adoption and diffusion processes with the increased interconnections of people, data and things

●           Impact of increased availability of data on the nature of interactions between individuals and with organizations

●           Adoption issues in times of pervasive computing

●           Benefits and concerns from an individuals’ perspective

●           New direction for innovation and its consequences for individuals and organizations

●           Technology adoption and diffusion at the interorganizational, national and global level

●           New theoretical perspectives on acceptance, use and diffusion of IT

●           New methodological approaches to study acceptance, use and diffusion of IT



Submitted research can be conceptual, analytical, design-oriented, or empirical in nature. The workshop will include paper presentations, paper roundtables, panel discussions and poster presentations.



*Instructions for Contributors*

In the interest of discussing the most current research in this area, we welcome

●           Full research papers (fourteen single-spaced pages)

●           Research-in-progress papers (seven single-spaced pages)

●           Research idea abstracts (two single-spaced pages)



All submissions will be blind reviewed. Papers should not have been published previously in proceedings or journals, nor be under review elsewhere, but it is the general objective of the workshop that they will be submitted to a premier outlet after the DIGIT workshop.



Submission will be published in the AIS Electronic Library. The authors can choose whether they want the full paper or only an extended abstract to be published. For past submissions see: http://aisel.aisnet.org/digit/

This is the final deadline; there will be no deadline extension.

Notification of acceptance or rejection will be made in late October.
