There : is a paucity of systematic and rigorous investigations reported in the : literature, despite the enormous importance of this phenomenon. This mini : track is an attempt to help fill this gap by providing a rigorous forum to : draw together important recent developments in this area. The focus of this : mini track will be on the antecedents, processes and dynamics relating to : the adoption and diffusion of electronic commerce, and the subsequent impact : of adoption. Adoption is the process through which organizations or : individuals decide to engage in electronic commerce activities. Diffusion is : the process through which electronic commerce activities become assimilated : into the lives and behaviors of organizations and individuals. A broad : perspective of electronic commerce is taken so that it includes not only : business-to-business and business-to-consumer electronic commerce : activities, but also intra-organizational electronic commerce activities : such as workflow and ERP systems and their integration with external : electronic commerce systems such as on-line shopping malls. : : Topics for this mini track may include (but are not limited to) the : following aspects of electronic commerce: : : * Models of adoption : * Models of diffusion : * Assimilation patterns : * Critical success factors : * Relationship between organizational learning and adoption : * Relationship between culture and adoption : * Antecedents and consequents of adoption : * Barriers of adoption : * Managing the adoption and diffusion processes : * Impacts on consumer behavior, business processes, : organizational and industry structures : * Virtual e-Commerce organizations : * Shopping malls : * Supply Chain Management systems : : This mini track welcomes papers addressing the above topics using a wide : range of research methodologies including conceptual, laboratory : experiments, surveys, and case studies, among others. Selected papers will : be fast-tracked for publication in the Journal of Global Information : Management (JGIM). : : Mini Track Co-Chairs : (Name(s) and Affiliation(s) including e-mail address(es)) : : Matthew K.
