The answers to these questions are valuable given that technology usage is a prerequisite for realizing the value from often substantial technology investments (DeLone and McLean 1992; DeLone and McLean 2003; Hirschheim 2007). Yet, despite the level of investment in IT within organizations today, many still struggle to find the link between the adoption of the technology and its predictors and consequences.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The struggles with understanding the impact of IT is further complicated by the evolving world order. New technologies such as social media and cloud computing potentially change the nature and speed of diffusion. New organizational contexts such as inter<span style='font-family:"Cambria Math","serif"'>$B!>(B</span>organizational alliances, the push for e<span style='font-family:"Cambria Math","serif"'>$B!>(B</span>government, and the societal focus on IT<span style='font-family:"Cambria Math","serif"'>$B!>(B</span>enabled healthcare may also play a role. Further the pervasiveness of IT in forms such as iPads and smartphones may change the types of individuals who adopt earlier (or later) as well as their role in spreading innovations or in the types of other technologies that are adopted. The intent of this track is to focus on these and many other issues related to the diffusion of IT.
