*IS Innovation Adoption, Use, and Diffusion: How Ecosystems
Matter*
*Submission Deadline Extended to Friday, September 6th, 2019*
The Special Interest Group on the Adoption and Diffusion of
Information
Technology (SIG ADIT) is celebrating its 30th year and will again
host a
pre-ICIS workshop for people interested in information technology
adoption
and diffusion (DIGIT). DIGIT will be held on Sunday, December 15,
2019 in
Munich.
Early research in the stream of IS adoption and diffusion has
explained how
and why a standalone IS (e.g. PC, ERP system) is used and how it
is adopted
in a social environment. Now, IS innovation increasingly takes
place in
complex digital ecosystems that involve an ensemble of actors,
platforms,
vendors, developer communities, and regulators. At the individual
level, IS
innovation adoption involves the consideration of affordances of a
specific
IS innovation, say a voice-activated speaker, and also of its
collection of
complementary digital services and products (e.g. the “smart” home
ecosystem developed by a technology vendor, such as Alibaba,
Amazon, or
Google). At the organizational level, the adoption and use of IS
innovations are complicated by the permeable boundaries of
enterprise
platforms, which can be constructed from the combination of
internal and
external modules that are interlocked in a sprawling web of
socio-technical
relationships.
The emergence of digital ecosystems is an opportunity to
reinvigorate the
study of IS innovation adoption, use, and diffusion, because they
bring to
the fore several contextual considerations that are still
under-theorized.
These include network effects, which alter diffusion dynamics and
complicate adoption decisions as well as architectural choices
that
undergird an ecosystem, which can constrain or aid the
evolvability of a
digital ecosystem. Furthermore, data is the lifeblood of
ecosystems, and
the extent to which it is created, exchanged, traded, and
circulated within
and across ecosystems calls for renewed attention to the role of
information privacy, IS security, institutional norms, and
regulations in
adoption and use behavior.
Given the theoretical and practical importance of digital
ecosystems for IS
adoption and use, the 2019 DIGIT workshop provides an opportunity
for IS
innovation researchers to come together and generate vibrant
discussions
and exchanges of ideas about this new development. While papers
adhering to
the theme are encouraged, research in other IT adoption and
diffusion
research domains will also be considered. Potential topic areas
include,
but are not exclusive to:
- IS innovation adoption, diffusion, and abandonment in the
presence of
positive and negative network effects
- IS innovation behavior across digital ecosystems (e.g.
multi-homing)
- Configurational approaches to the study of IS innovation issues
in
ecosystems
- Ecosystem architecture and its role in IS innovation adoption
and
diffusion
- The emergence and social organization of digital ecosystems:
field
dynamics, computerization movements, value conflicts, technology
framing
contests, institutions, and organizing visions
- Post-adoption behavior and the co-evolution of IS innovation,
through the
interactions of users, platforms, vendors, open source &
developer
communities
- Multi-level, complexity science, and nonlinear approaches to IS
innovation behavior in digital ecosystems
- New theorization of how ecosystems matter in IS innovation
theories at
the individual, organizational, interorganizational, and
organizational
field levels
- New qualitative, quantitative, and design-led methodological
approaches
to examine the dynamics of IS innovation in digital ecosystems
- Trust & information privacy: their governance in digital
ecosystems,
their impacts on innovation adoption and abandonment
Submitted research can be conceptual, analytical, design-oriented,
or
empirical in nature. The workshop will include paper
presentations, paper
roundtables, panel discussions and poster presentations.
*Instructions for Contributors*
In the interest of discussing the most current research in this
area, we
welcome
- Full research papers (fourteen single-spaced pages)
- Research-in-progress papers (seven single-spaced pages)
- Research idea abstracts (two 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.
Proceedings of the workshop will be published in the AIS
Electronic
Library. The authors can choose whether they want the full paper
or only an
extended abstract to be published. For past proceedings see:
http://aisel.aisnet.org/digit/
*Instructions for Submissions*The deadline for submission of
papers is
Friday, September 6th, 2019.
Notification of acceptance or rejection will be made in
mid-October.
All papers must conform to the instructions given in the DIGIT
2019
submission template. They must be single-spaced and submitted in
Microsoft
Word format. Full research and research-in-progress papers 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
should have
a title, but no author identification.
Please use the DIGIT 2019 submission template, which can be found
online
at:
https://www.sigadit.net/digit .
This year, all paper submissions should be submitted using the
submission
system at
https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/DIGIT2019
Questions regarding paper submissions can be sent to the program
co-chairs:
Christian Maier (
christian.maier@uni-bamberg.de) or Jean-Grégoire
Bernard (
jean-gregoire.bernard@vuw.ac.nz)
*Instructions for Participation*The workshop date will be held on
Saturday,
December 15, 2019, in Munich. At least one author must register
and attend
the workshop to present the paper if the work is accepted.
