Description
Information Technology (IT) implementation, adoption and use is an important research stream in the field of information systems. The rapid IT development and innovation call for research attention to the opportunities and challenges of implementation, adoption, and use of IT by individuals, organizations and societies. Given the changing nature of the IT artifact, the task to understand various behavioral, organizational, and institutional factors affecting the IT adoption and/or usage decision as well as the implementation process remains crucially valuable for insightful theoretical and practical implications.
This track seeks research that inspires theoretical, methodological, and practical insights in implementation, adoption and use of information technologies at individual, organizational, industry, societal, and global levels. The track welcomes papers grounded in a broad range of theories, perspectives, and methodologies. We particularly encourage papers that employ multiple levels of analysis and use multiple methodologies including qualitative and quantitative methodologies in field and lab environments as well as simulation and modeling.
Topics of Interests
