Abstract
We review three sociological theories of technology innovation and diffusion, which highlight the importance of discourses on the social shaping and trajectory of IT innovations. We consider how key concepts of each theory are applicable to understanding Green IT as an area of innovation. We highlight how these theories might inform action in this innovation movement to help guide the collective actions of participants in Green IT and areas of research on Green IT discourses that may prove beneficial.
