*Track Description:*

As the digitalization of different industry continues to transform service
delivery and create new products, this generates new business models by
blurring the boundaries between digital and physical world resulting from
the convergence of people, business and digital devices.  With this
continuing development, we need to investigate the complexities of
designing and adopting digital practices, digital services and digital
channels in today’s organizations, while also examining downsides of
diffusion and adoption. This track seeks to attract research that
theoretically and/or practically provides valuable insights to the adoption
and diffusion of innovation IT at the individual, group, organizational,
industry, or societal levels. This can include the use of all type of
methodologies to explore different types of IT innovations.

7.        Adoption or diffusion of IT in specific sectors (such as

9.        Socio-economic impacts of IT adoption and diffusion

10.      The impact of IT use on the daily/social/professional life of
consumers/citizens

11.      Negative outcomes of IS use (e.g., information overload,
technostress)

12.      Theories, concepts, and tools of IT adoption and diffusion

13.      Theoretical essays or critical reviews of adoption and diffusion
of IT

14.      Usage and post-adoption behaviours, such as infusion,
exploitation, and exploration
