Call for Papers: WI2022 - Track “IS Adoption, Diffusion, and Use”
17th International Conference on Wirtschaftsinformatik WI for
Grand Challenges – Grand Challenges for WI February, 21st-23rd
2022, Nürnberg, Germany,

#Description#
The core perspectives and theories on technology adoption have
been developed when computers were new to the world, the Internet
was still in its infancy and not yet a commercial network. Most
organizational processes were conducted manually and only a small
proportion of people had a personal computer at home. Since then,
the world has changed a lot. Nowadays, we live in a world deeply
infused and shaped by the use of information systems (IS) and
strongly influenced by the ongoing digital transformation. New
technologies have been developed, such as smartphones, social
media, wearable devices, IoT, and conversational agents, and are
used in many organizational and private contexts. The COVID-19
pandemic has even served as a catalyst for implementing, adopting,
and using IS in a short period. Videoconference systems like MS
Teams help employees to perform their job and stay connected to
their colleagues, while also affording school kids to participate
in classes in times of social distancing. At the same time
IS-related services, such as social media or media-streaming
services are used or even reused by a large number of individuals.
The leading question of research in the field of IS adoption,
diffusion and use – why people accept or reject computers? – has
been extended to the whole life cycle of IS. Accordingly,
researchers not only focus on post-adoption by investigating what
leads users to either continually using an IS or to stop using it
but also what makes them to resume the use of a previously used
IS. Besides the great potentials that IS use offers, such as
richer information for decision-making or innovations that better
serve customers and society, individuals and organizations are
also challenged by new kinds of digital threats and
vulnerabilities, such as cyber-mobbing, stress, addiction, etc.
This track invites research that brings fresh theoretical,
methodological, and practical insights concerning the IS use
lifecycle in a fast-changing world (including the COVID-19
pandemic) at the individual, organizational, industry, and
societal, and level. The track welcomes papers grounded in a broad
range of theories and perspectives addressing real-world problems.
We welcome papers that use multiple and mixed methodologies,
including combinations of qualitative and quantitative approaches
in field and lab environments as well as simulation and modeling.
The track is further open to all methodologies that enhance our
understanding of the IS use life cycle in various contexts.
