To study information technology selection decisions, IS researchers typically rely on two main theories: innovation diffusion and network effects theory. According to diffusion theory, selection decisions are based on factors associated with the product such as relative advantage, complexity, compatibility, observability, and trialability. Rather than deciding on product features, network effec...
