*AMCIS 2020: CALL FOR PAPERS*
*Adoption and Diffusion of Information Technology (ADIT) Track,
sponsored
by SIGADIT*
We invite submissions of full and Emergent Research Forum (ERF)
papers to
Adoption and Diffusion of Information Technology (ADIT) Track in
the 26th
Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS 2020), which
will be held on
August 12-16, 2020
<http://airmail.calendar/2020-08-12%2012:00:00%20PDT> in
Salt Lake City, Utah, USA (
https://amcis2020.aisconferences.org/track-descriptions/#toggle-id-2).
*TRACK DESCRIPTION: *
The extant diffusion and adoption literature has improved our
understanding
of how IT is utilized by individual, group, and organizational. In
turn, we
now have keen insights into relevant topics such as digital
innovation,
digital business models, and factors that affect IT
implementation, to name
a few. With the digital economy now widespread there is still much
work to
be done in many exciting new areas. We need to investigate the
potential of
new innovations, while also examining downsides of
diffusion and adoption. Issues such as IS misuse, obsessive
addiction,
technostress, information overload all have become important areas
to
investigate. This track seeks to attract research that
theoretically and/or
practically can provide valuable insights to the adoption and
diffusion of
innovation IT at the individual, group, organizational, industry,
or
societal levels. This can include the use of all type of
methodologies to
explore different types of IT innovations.
*MINITRACKS:*
*Minitrack 1: Design Factors and Technology Adoption*
Zhaojun Yang (
zhaojunyang@xidian.edu.cn)
Ying Wang (
ying.wang01@utrgv.edu)
Numerous design features are emerging to enhance user experiences
with new
information systems, especially web-based and mobile applications.
Their
effects, however, may not turn out to be exactly as expected. For
example,
the features related to interactivity and personalization may
interact with
each other. Currently, there is a lag between academic research
and
industrial practice. It is expected that theoretical discussions
and
empirical studies may yield deeper insights and provide
theoretical and
practical guidelines. We solicit expositions and investigations of
both
qualitative and quantitative natures. Analyses at different levels
(individual, group, organizational, societal, and cultural) using
a variety
of methods (e.g. survey, case study, ethnography, big data
analysis etc.)
are all welcome. Topics to be discussed include, but are not
limited to,
the design and adoption of cloud-based systems, mobile
applications,
wearable devices, social platforms, enterprise systems, and so on.
*Minitrack 2: Adoption and Use of Immersive Systems*
Qiqi Jiang (
qj.digi@cbs.dk)
Chih-Hung Peng (
chpeng@nccu.edu.tw)
Immersive systems can enhance the user’s perception of reality and
alter
their behaviour and IT use. The immersive system has been widely
used in
various practice, such as digital learning, organisational
training,
digital marketing, fitness technology, and computer/video games.
The
immersive technology include such categories as virtual reality
(VR),
augmented reality (AR), mixed reality (VR/AR), and interactive
storytelling
et al. To better understand the role of immersive system and
technology in
IT use and adoption, this track sets out to invite high quality
research on
immersive systems. We welcome research using a variety of
methodologies,
and at any level of analysis, such as quantitative method
(experimentation,
survey, and analysis with observational data etc.), case study,
theory
development, and design science etc.
*Minitrack 3: Adoption and Diffusion of Ambivalent Information
Technologies*
Isaac Vaghefi (
sashrafvaghefi@pace.edu)
Shamel Addas (
shamel.addas@queensu.ca)
Ambivalent Information Technologies (IT) are technologies that
have the
potential to both benefit and harm individuals, organizations, or
society.
Ambivalent IT includes a wide range of IT, such as smartphones,
emails,
social media technologies, wearables devices, big data
technologies and
artificial intelligence that despite providing significant
benefits can
overload individuals, undermine their sense of autonomy, cause
security,
privacy intrusion, or discrimination issues among others. In this
way,
ambivalent IT can elicit mixed attitudes and markedly different
behaviors
and outcomes for adopters and users. Accordingly, this mini track
call for
further research on the antecedents, processes/mechanisms,
outcomes, and
issues/challenges related to adoption and use of ambivalent IT and
the
potential impacts on various stakeholders (e.g. users,
organizations, or
society). It also invites research that provides suggestions to
avoid or
remedy the dark side and promote the bright side of ambivalent IT
use.
*SUBMISSION TYPES & TEMPLATE:*
