When technology adoption takes on fad-like characteristics it becomes critical to understand consumer behaviors due to the large swings in demand and expectations for the technology. Companies can see revenues skyrocket, only to fall just as fast without understanding the dynamics of the consumer adoption decision process. A model for fad-like technology adoption is described using the technolo...

A conceptual model for Information Communication Technology (ICT) adoption by Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs) is proposed. The research uses several ICT adoption models as its basis with theoretical underpinning provided by the Diffusion of Innovation theory and the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). Taking an exploratory research approach the model was investigated amongst 200 SMEs whose core ...

Although Information Systems IS research has paid attention to the understanding of users’ adoption of technology, researchers have had a minimal focus upon the application of various adoption models that study a consumer’s adoption of technology. An attempt to fill this gap is undertaken in this research. Therefore, the aim of this study is to provide a comprehensive review of the extant infor...

The adoption of mobile payments is crucial for the development of mobile commerce. Based on the revised availability of technology readiness, we build the mobile payment adoption inclination model by integrating technology Acceptance 297samples Model. With data, neural network model is used to predict adoption of mobile payment determinants tilt and model compared with the multiple regression a...

Software as Service (SaaS) model of cloud computing is currently one of the most advanced technology innovations. Due to its scalability and network-based operation, SaaS offers opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to take advantage of the latest technology without costly investment on IT infrastructure and expertise. Despite its benefits, SMEs’ adoption of SaaS is not prevalen...

A key feature of recent work on barriers to technology adoption is the assumption that monopoly rights of insiders are limited by the ability of industry outsiders to enter. This paper endogenizes the decision of a government to provide barriers to technology adoption alone or in combination with barriers to entry of outsiders. Using a political economy model, we find that a government provides...

One of the recent phenomena information systems (IS) practitioners are currently facing in their continuous process of adopting new technology is the utilization of Extensible Markup Language (XML). In this paper we propose an XML adoption framework, a corresponding adoption space model, and a probit model of technology diffusion to examine the decision of adopting XML-based applications in the...

Background: E-Learning could increase efficiency teaching process and higher quality of education. The aim of this study was to determine the factors related to eLearning intention based on the Adoption Technology Model (ATM). Methods: This cross-sectional study, conducted among 150 faculty members of Kermanshah University of medical science. Participants were randomly selected to participate v...

In the literature on mobile commerce service adoption, aggregate diffusion issues or technology issues are usually focused. However, a comparison of the slow adoption of WAP services in Europe with the successful adoption of comparable I-mode services in Japan and technologically simple SMS-based services in Scandinavia, suggests that aggregate and technology-based models are insufficient to ex...
