Call for Papers: DIGIT 2021 Pre-ICIS Workshop
Information Technology Adoption and Diffusion and Resilience
Building in Disruptions
Submission Deadline: October 1, 2021
Building resilience with information technology in the time of
disruptions has been crucial for many during the COVID-19 and
should continue to be in our agenda in the post-COVID-19 world.
Organizations, individuals, and societies have been facing
disruptions of different forms, natural disasters, political and
social unrest, and epidemics and pandemics, affecting their normal
functioning from different aspects. The past two years have
witnessed enormous examples of organizations, individuals, and
societies harnessing advanced information systems and technologies
to survive the disruptions and even thrive afterward. For example,
organizations have utilized a wide array of collaborative
technologies to keep their businesses running and built increasing
online presences across multiple digital channels. Individuals
have embraced digital technologies into different aspects of their
life, reshaping many of their working, communicating, and
purchasing behaviors and habits. Changes resulted from such
disruptions occur also at the society level, governments across
the world have accelerated the digitization of the provision of
public services.
While the phenomenon with organizations, individuals, and
societies using information technologies for resilience building
in disruptions has become more prevalent, our understanding of it
will benefit from further scientific investigation and a tight
alignment to theoretical lenses used in adoption and diffusion
research. The 2021 DIGIT workshop provides an opportunity for
researchers to come together and generate vibrant discussions and
exchanges of ideas about how organizations, individuals, and
societies can harness information technologies to build resilience
in and for disruptions. While papers adhering to the theme of
building resilience with information technologies, research in
other IT adoption and diffusion research domains are very welcome.
Potential topic areas include, but are not exclusive to:
- Organizational information technology adoption and diffusion to
survive disruptions across different sectors and industries, such
as business, education, and public services
- Individual and collective technology use behaviors, such as
adaptation, coping, improvisation in the presence of disruptions
- Multi-level studies considering the rippling effects of
disruptions and their implications for IS adoption and diffusion
- Process models studying adoption, diffusion, and abandonment
before and after a disruption
- New theorization of how disruptions matter in IT adoption and
diffusion theories at the individual, organizational, and societal
levels
- 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.
