[AISWorld] 2018 Pre-ICIS workshop on adoption and diffusion of IT (DIGIT) - deadline extended

[Genevieve Bassellier]

 Hi everyone!

If you do interesting work on the adoption and diffusion of IT, consider
submitting your work to the DIGIT workshop! The deadline is now September
14th, 2018.

***

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

Call for Papers *Bridging the Internet of People, Data, and Things*
Submissions Due: Friday, September 7th, 2018
Workshop: Thursday, December 13, 2018

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/

*Instructions for Submissions*

The deadline for submission of papers is Friday, September 7, 2018.
Notification of acceptance or rejection will be made in late October.

All papers must conform to the instructions given in the DIGIT 2018
submission template. They must be single-spaced and submitted in Microsoft
Word format. Full research and research-in-progress papers should include
an abstract. Page counts exclude the title page, references and appendices.
The title page should include the paper title and the authors' names,
affiliations, and e-mail addresses. The main body of the paper should have
a title, but no author identification.
