Information systems (IS) implementation is a core research stream in the IS
discipline. Successful implementation of IS is critical for individual,
business process, and organizational performance. The IS Implementation,
Adoption, and Diffusion track invites high quality theoretical and empirical
papers advancing our understanding of phenomena related to various aspects of IS
implementations in organizations and society. IS implementation is typically
considered one of the most mature streams of research in the IS discipline
because of significant theoretical and empirical advancements in recent years.
Yet, there are opportunities to further advance this stream by conducting
research that cuts across different levels such as individuals, groups,
business units, business processes, organizations, communities, societies and
countries.</font></font></p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman">

</font><p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman">The track welcomes papers grounded in a broad range of
theories, perspectives, and methodologies. We particularly encourage papers
that employ multiple levels of analysis and use multiple methodologies. In
keeping with, we welcome theoretical papers, empirical papers (both qualitative
and quantitative) as well as papers based on other methods such as simulation, agent-based
modeling and other types of modeling (e.g., game theoretic modeling). We
encourage paradigm-shifting, innovative research conducted in socially,
culturally, and economically diverse settings, regions and across geographic
and national boundaries. </font></p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman">
