Call for Papers: Pre-ICIS Workshop DIGIT 2022



Theme: Information Technology Adoption and Diffusion for the Next Generation

Submission Deadline: September 30, 2022 at 11:59 pm (EDT)


The Special Interest Group on the Adoption and Diffusion of Information
Technology (SIG ADIT) will again host a pre-ICIS workshop, DIGIT, for
researchers interested in information technology adoption and diffusion.
DIGIT will be held during the afternoon of Sunday, December 11, 2022 in
Copenhagen. Our workshop focus is two-fold (1) to come together as a
community to rekindle conversations and collaborations, and (2) to help
authors develop their current projects that address emerging topics of
information technology adoption and diffusion.



The next generation will be living in a substantially different world. On
the one hand, we are facing major challenges, such as climate crisis,
spread of misinformation, and COVID19 pandemic, that can shape a
fundamentally different future for the next generation. On the other hand,
we are witnessing an unprecedented rate of digital transformation that will
shape a different future with new opportunities and challenges. Information
Technology (IT) is constantly changing and shifting the ways we work and
live. The next generation of employees and business leaders will be digital
natives, people who have born into and grown up with the Internet, smart
phones, social media, and gig economy, having minimal, if any, direct
experience or recollection of how societies and organizations operated
before these innovations. As a result, now more than ever, there is renewed
interest in Information Systems (IS) with advances in AI and Robotics, big
data analytics, IoTs, metaverse, security, digital twins and the like, as
well as the increased importance that effective use of IS has in the modern
organizations and societies.

While the phenomenon of organizations, individuals, and societies going
through digital transformation has become more prevalent, our understanding
of it will benefit from further scientific investigation and a tight
alignment to theoretical lenses used in research on adoption and diffusion
of IT. The DIGIT 2022 workshop provides an opportunity for researchers to
come together and generate vibrant discussions and exchanges of ideas about
how individuals, organizations, and societies can harness information
technologies for the next generation. In addition to papers adhering to the
theme of IT adoption and diffusion for the next generation, research in
other IT adoption and diffusion research domains are also welcome.

Potential topic areas include, but are not exclusive to:



-Adoption and diffusion of next-generation digital solutions.

-Understanding digital natives and their adoption and use of IT.

-Next generation digital ecosystems and their effects on adoption,
diffusion, and abandonment of digital solutions.

-Diffusion of new digital solutions in support of the Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs).

-Adoption and diffusion of digital solutions to help combat climate crisis.

-Adoption and diffusion of digital solutions for achieving digital
resilience in relation to the threats of major crises, such as climate
change, pandemics, and misinformation campaigns.

-Individual and collective technology use behaviors, such as adaptation,
coping, and improvisation in the presence of major crises and disruptions.

-Multi-level studies considering the rippling effects of disruptions and
their implications for IS adoption and diffusion.

-New qualitative, quantitative, and design-led methodological approaches to
examine the dynamics of IT adoption and diffusion in disruptions.



Submitted research can be conceptual, analytical, design-oriented, or
empirical in nature. The workshop will include paper presentations, paper
roundtables, and panel discussions.



Instructions for Contributors

In the interest of discussing the most current research in this area, we
welcome

Completed research papers (fourteen single-spaced pages)

Research-in-progress papers (seven single-spaced pages)

All submissions will be blind reviewed. Papers should not have been
published previously in proceedings or journals, nor be under review
elsewhere, but it is the general objective of the workshop that they will
be submitted to a premier outlet after the DIGIT workshop.

Library. The authors can choose whether they want the full paper or only an
extended abstract to be published. For past proceedings see:

submission template. They must be single-spaced and submitted in Microsoft
Word format.

Papers, both full research and research-in-progress submissions, should
include an abstract. Page counts exclude the title page, references, and
appendices. The title page should include the paper title and the authors'
names, affiliations, and e-mail addresses. The main body of the paper
