CFP AMCIS2020 Minitrack: Implications of Affordance Theory for Digital
Strategy and Innovation Research
Note: This minitrack is part of the Strategic and Competitive Uses of IT
(SCUIT) track.
Apologies for cross posting.
Please consider submitting your papers that look at digital strategy and
innovation from an affordance theory lens to this minitrack. We aim to
push the boundaries of affordance research and expand, connect, and
interrelate digital innovation research with affordance research within
strategy and IS.
We have seen the emergence of various streams of literature that examine
how innovation is fostered by affordances that are created by digital
technologies such as Social media, Mobile applications, Analytics, Cloud
computing, and the Internet of Things (SMACIT). An affordance is "the
potential for behaviors associated with achieving an immediate concrete
outcome and arising from the relationship between an object and a
goal-oriented actor or actors".
Technology affordance theory is used to study implications of digital
technologies for innovation processes and practices. Nonetheless, there
is lack of comprehensive understanding of "how to use and apply
affordance theory" in new digital innovation and entrepreneurship
contexts. Entrepreneurs leverage ecosystem-wide digital affordances and
depend on the affordability, accessibility, and availability of the
offered services and technologies to drive innovation.
We seek papers that contribute to and extend our understanding and
applicability of affordances theory within innovation ecosystems, and,
which further illustrate the importance of affordances in creating
innovative outcomes.
Thank you.
