| Other | Embracing Theoretical and Methodological Breakthroughs in IT Adoption and Diffusion Research Around a quarter-century after the early beginnings of adoption and diffusion research in the late eighties, IS researchers need to run new paths in order to gather new knowledge and keep adoption and diffusion of IT as one of the core topics of the entire IS domain. Especially in terms of methodologies, more approaches capturing all nuances in individual adoption decision making opening black boxes such as how attitudes turn into usage behaviors or distinct behavioral patterns are clearly needed. As common method variance and sole perceptual data could turn more and more into obstacles, new ideas on collecting (i.e. experiments, simulations, mixed methods) and analyzing data (latent growth models, event studies, agent based modeling, multi-level analysis, diary studies, data mining) may provide a significant step forward. More controlled settings that allow for gathering objective data could soon be more common. Hence, we call for scholarly effort investigating the adoption and diffusion of IT with new theoretical underlyings and new empirical and/or analytical methods providing new insights and limiting bias to achieve a more holistic understanding about why and how people use IT. |
