lang="EN-US">A quarter-century after the publication of one of
the most prominent models in Information Systems (IS) adoption
and diffusion research, this track focuses on a better
understanding of various factors leading to diverse behavioral
responses such that some IS and information and communication
technologies (ICT) are successfully adopted while others are
rejected. Although this field of study is considered to be one
of the more mature research areas within the IS discipline,
constantly emerging technologies, contexts of use, and
stakeholder groups ensure that the area provides a lot of
potential for exciting and fruitful investigation. Indeed, the
emergence of such new technologies, contexts, and users raises
the issue of whether previous research findings remain
applicable to these new circumstances or whether new theoretical
explanations are required. Especially in terms of methodologies,
more approaches addressing these new circumstances and capturing
all nuances in adoption decision making are clearly needed.
Furthermore, new research approaches on collecting (i.e.
experiments, action research, mixed methods, longitudinal
approaches) and analyzing data (i.e. latent growth models, agent
based modeling, data mining) may provide a significant step
towards a better understanding of these factors driving and
inhibiting IS usage.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

lang="EN-US">The aim of the track therefore is to provide a
common platform for the presentation and discussion of original
research into issues surrounding IS/ICT adoption,
discontinuation, and rejection from various stakeholder group
perspectives and at societal, organizational, and individual
level. Unique papers with great ideas and novel contributions
will be fast-tracked to a journal.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
