Past European-DIGIT (e-DIGIT) Workshops

This year we have an exciting program for the workshop that includes paper roundtables, paper presentation and a panel discussion. The year’s panelists are Wynne Chin (U of Houston, USA), Tim Weitzel (U of Bamberg, Germany) and Deborah Compeau (U of Western Ontario, Canada) who will share their views on “Adoption and Diffusion Concepts for Future Research”.

 

Faculty members and doctoral students are invited to attend. To foster the workshop atmosphere that has developed in previous meetings, registration will be limited to about 40 people.

In a changing world with increasing connectivity, adoption of Information Technology increasingly spans national and regional boundaries. This may raise new issues and introduce additional potential inhibitors to adoption, such as cultural issues and concerns about security and privacy among others. Studies on the adoption and diffusion of information technologies may take on those new challenges and investigate adoption in a globally connected context.
