[Hamed Qahri-Saremi]

*Call For Minitrack Proposals*
*AMCIS 2020: Adoption and Diffusion of Information Technology (ADIT) Track *


We invite the submission of minitrack proposals to Adoption and Diffusion
of Information Technology (ADIT) Track in the 26th Americas Conference on
Information Systems (AMCIS 2020), which will be held on August 12-16, 2020
in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA.

*Track Description: *
The extant diffusion and adoption literature has improved our understanding
of how IT is utilized by individual, group, and organizational. In turn, we
now have keen insights into relevant topics such as digital innovation,
digital business models, and factors that affect IT implementation, to name
a few. With the digital economy now widespread there is still much work to
be done in many exciting new areas. We need to investigate the potential of
new innovations, while also examining downsides of diffusion and adoption.
Issues such as IS misuse, obsessive addiction, technostress, information
overload all have become important areas to investigate. This track seeks
to attract research that theoretically and/or practically can provide
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.

*Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: *
1. Cutting Edge adoption and diffusion
2. Individual, group, or organizational IT adoption decisions
3. Adoption or diffusion of IT supporting organizational and
inter-organizational initiatives
4. Adoption of IT in a residential/ household context
5. Global or cross-cultural studies of IT implementation, adoption, and
post-adoption
6. Adoption and use of social technologies, smart devices, and other
emerging IT
7. Adoption or diffusion of IT in specific sectors (such as e-government)
8. Communication types and channels on the diffusion of IT
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. Dark Sides and 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 behaviors, such as infusion, exploitation, and
exploration
15. Dark usage and post-adoption behaviors, such as misuse, obsessive use,
compulsive use, and addictive use
