*Description of the Track:*

A quarter-century after the publication of one of the most prominent models in Information Systems (IS) adoption and diffusion research, this track focuses on a better understanding of various factors leading to diverse behavioral responses such that some IS and information and communication technologies (ICT) are successfully adopted while others are rejected. Although this field of study is considered to be one of the more mature research areas within the IS discipline, constantly emerging technologies, contexts of use, and stakeholder groups ensure that the area provides a lot of potential for exciting and fruitful investigation. Indeed, the emergence of such new technologies, contexts, and users raises the issue of whether previous research findings remain applicable to these new circumstances or whether new theoretical explanations are required. Especially in terms of methodologies, more approaches addressing these new circumstances and capturing all nuances in adoption decision making are clearly needed. Furthermore, new research approaches on collecting (i.e. experiments, action research, mixed methods, longitudinal approaches) and analyzing data (i.e. latent growth models, agent based modeling, data mining) may provide a significant step towards a better understanding of these factors driving and inhibiting IS usage.

The aim of the track therefore is to provide a common platform for the presentation and discussion of original research into issues surrounding IS/ICT adoption, discontinuation, and rejection from various stakeholder group perspectives and at societal, organizational, and individual level. Unique papers with great ideas and novel contributions will be fast-tracked to a journal.

*Topics of interest include **(but are certainly not limited to): ***

* Individual and/or group level acceptance versus resistance to IS/ICT * Technology design factors influencing IS/ICT adoption and diffusion * Organizational adoption and diffusion of IS/ICT (e.g., ERP, ECM, HRIS) * Adoption of IS/ICT in a residential/ household context * Adoption or diffusion of IS/ICT in specific sectors (such as government) * Adoption and diffusion of smart phones, wearable devices, and other mobile technologies * Adoption and diffusion of social networking technologies and other Social Media applications * Socio-economic / geographical / cultural factors relevant to IS/ICT adoption * IS/ICT acceptance before/in/after organizational IS/ICT implementation projects * The digital divide (e.g., broadband, social inclusion) * The role of personality characteristics (e.g., Big 5) in adoption of ICT * Theoretical essays, reviews, concepts, policies, and tools of and for IS/ICT adoption and diffusion * The dark side of technology adoption -- drawbacks, social, and ethical issues * Different forms of IT usage -- adaptive, excessive, and motivated Use * Methodological issues regarding IT adoption and diffusion
