Minitrack: Diffusion of IS
Innovations in Social Networks
Track: Adoption and Diffusion of Information Technology (SIGADIT)
August 9-12, 2012, Seattle, Washington
CALL FOR PAPERS
The diffusion of information systems (IS) innovations can be
visualized as a process of communication by which members of a
social system may become aware of IS innovations over time. The
social system may comprise individuals or organizations, deal with
formal or informal connections, exist for hedonic or instrumental
purposes, structured as aristocratic or egalitarian networks, and
based on strong or weak ties among members. Communication mechanisms
and patterns within such social systems can vary considerably and
can significantly affect the diffusion process over time. We solicit
theoretical expositions and empirical investigations that deal with
the diffusion of IS innovations.
Topics relevant for this mini-track include, but are not limited to,
the following:
- Types of communication channels for diffusion of IS innovations
- Relationship between network characteristics (e.g., network
centrality) and diffusion
- Speed of diffusion of IS innovations within networks
- Effects of organizational (or network level) mechanisms on
diffusion
- Political moves underlying diffusion of IS innovations
- Positive and negative communication regarding IS innovations and
diffusion
- Patterns of diffusion (e.g., S-shaped curve) within social
networks
- Modeling diffusion within social networks
