This research analyzes network effects in technology acceptance. The hypothesis is that the size of the user network affects technology acceptance. Even today, empirical measurement of network effects is challenging and there is a lack of experimental evidence.

This research analyzes network effects in technology acceptance, on the hypothesis that the larger is user network, the more likely is technology acceptance. Still today, empirical measurement of network effects is challenging and there is a lack of experimental evidence, particularly in technology acceptance research. To overcome this limitation we reproduce a particular class of technology ac...

Drawing on the existing theoretical literature, a conceptual model of trust is developed. The model suggests that trust in technology, institutional trust, and social trust are three dimensions of the overarching trust construct that should be considered in models of technology acceptance. The preliminary empirical evidence suggests that institutional trust and social trust are important factor...

This paper delves into the state of the art in technology acceptance research at the individual level in Malaysia and makes suggestion into the future researches that can be undertaken to extend the frontiers of research of technology acceptance at the individual level. Several popular models used to predict technology acceptance are also discussed before exploring the myriad of research done o...

We report on an investigation into mobile phone adoption by older users. Technology adoption is a process from ignorance to considering it a necessity. Moreover, acceptance is an essential precursor of adoption. Many models consider either acceptance or adoption, but in fact these are interrelated. Furthermore, most theoretical models are based on responses from students or economically active ...

The proliferation of information technology (IT) in supporting highly specialized tasks and services has made it increasingly important to understand the factors essential to technology acceptance by individuals. In a typical professional setting, the essential characteristics of user, technology, and context may differ considerably from those in ordinary business settings. This study examined ...
