*AMCIS 2020: CALL FOR PAPERS* *Adoption and Diffusion of Information Technology (ADIT) Track, sponsored by SIGADIT*

We invite submissions of full and Emergent Research Forum (ERF) papers to Adoption and Diffusion of Information Technology (ADIT) Track in the 26th Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS 2020), which will be held on August 12-16, 2020 http://airmail.calendar/2020-08-12%2012:00:00%20PDT in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA ( https://amcis2020.aisconferences.org/track-descriptions/#toggle-id-2).

*TRACK DESCRIPTION: * The extant diffusion and adoption literature has improved our understanding of how IT is utilized by individual, group, and organizational. In turn, we now have keen insights into relevant topics such as digital innovation, digital business models, and factors that affect IT implementation, to name a few. With the digital economy now widespread there is still much work to be done in many exciting new areas. We need to investigate the potential of new innovations, while also examining downsides of diffusion and adoption. Issues such as IS misuse, obsessive addiction, technostress, information overload all have become important areas to investigate. This track seeks to attract research that theoretically and/or practically can provide valuable insights to the adoption and diffusion of innovation IT at the individual, group, organizational, industry, or societal levels. This can include the use of all type of methodologies to explore different types of IT innovations.

*MINITRACKS:* *Minitrack 1: Design Factors and Technology Adoption*

Zhaojun Yang (zhaojunyang@xidian.edu.cn) Ying Wang (ying.wang01@utrgv.edu)

Numerous design features are emerging to enhance user experiences with new information systems, especially web-based and mobile applications. Their effects, however, may not turn out to be exactly as expected. For example, the features related to interactivity and personalization may interact with each other. Currently, there is a lag between academic research and industrial practice. It is expected that theoretical discussions and empirical studies may yield deeper insights and provide theoretical and practical guidelines. We solicit expositions and investigations of both qualitative and quantitative natures. Analyses at different levels (individual, group, organizational, societal, and cultural) using a variety of methods (e.g. survey, case study, ethnography, big data analysis etc.) are all welcome. Topics to be discussed include, but are not limited to, the design and adoption of cloud-based systems, mobile applications, wearable devices, social platforms, enterprise systems, and so on.

*Minitrack 2: Adoption and Use of Immersive Systems*

Qiqi Jiang (qj.digi@cbs.dk) Chih-Hung Peng (chpeng@nccu.edu.tw)

Immersive systems can enhance the user’s perception of reality and alter their behaviour and IT use. The immersive system has been widely used in various practice, such as digital learning, organisational training, digital marketing, fitness technology, and computer/video games. The immersive technology include such categories as virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), mixed reality (VR/AR), and interactive storytelling et al. To better understand the role of immersive system and technology in IT use and adoption, this track sets out to invite high quality research on immersive systems. We welcome research using a variety of methodologies, and at any level of analysis, such as quantitative method (experimentation, survey, and analysis with observational data etc.), case study, theory development, and design science etc.

*Minitrack 3: Adoption and Diffusion of Ambivalent Information Technologies*

Isaac Vaghefi (sashrafvaghefi@pace.edu) Shamel Addas (shamel.addas@queensu.ca)

Ambivalent Information Technologies (IT) are technologies that have the potential to both benefit and harm individuals, organizations, or society. Ambivalent IT includes a wide range of IT, such as smartphones, emails, social media technologies, wearables devices, big data technologies and artificial intelligence that despite providing significant benefits can overload individuals, undermine their sense of autonomy, cause security, privacy intrusion, or discrimination issues among others. In this way, ambivalent IT can elicit mixed attitudes and markedly different behaviors and outcomes for adopters and users. Accordingly, this mini track call for further research on the antecedents, processes/mechanisms, outcomes, and issues/challenges related to adoption and use of ambivalent IT and the potential impacts on various stakeholders (e.g. users, organizations, or society). It also invites research that provides suggestions to avoid or remedy the dark side and promote the bright side of ambivalent IT use.

*SUBMISSION TYPES & TEMPLATE:*

*Full papers* must not exceed 10 pages (approx. 5,000 words). *Emergent Research Forum (ERF) papers* must not exceed 5 pages (approx. 2,500 words). All submissions must conform to the AMCIS 2020 submission template: https://amcis2020.aisconferences.org/submissions/types-of-submissions/.
