related products that form a technology cluster is significantly better than the attributes of an innovation at predicting adoption. The treatment of technology clusters , however, has been ad hoc and study specific: Researchers often make a priori assumptions about the relationships between technologies and measure ownership using lists of functionally related technology, without any systemati...

Studies on the adoption of innovations by companies generally include micro-level and mesolevel variables in order to explain a company’s receptiveness to innovations. This study adds to the literature by investigating the role of macro-level variables (i.e. national culture) to explain differences in innovation penetration levels and adoption decisions by companies across national cultures.

Various models have been proposed in the literature in order to aid understanding of the principles behind the adoption of IT innovations, but most of them implicitly assume that the factors explaining adoption decisions do not change over time. This study challenges that assumption and adds to the existing literatu...

This paper provides a systematic account about what we know and what we don’t know about the diffusion and adoption of telecommunication innovations. As our sample we obtained research papers from IFIP 8.6, ICIS and ECIS from the past ten years concerning telecommunication innovations diffusion and adoption to examine what aspects of the diffusion and adoption process are accentuated or overloo...
