Minitrack: Diffusion of IS Innovations in Social Networks Track: Adoption and Diffusion of Information Technology (SIGADIT http://www.sigadit.org/) 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
