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.
