Technology adoption by individuals has traditionally been regarded by information systems researchers as a choice between adoption and non-adoption of a single technology. With the current diversity of technology alternatives, the adoption decision may be more accurately specified as a choice between competing alternative technologies. The research question may no longer be simply whether techn...

This paper develops a monopolistic competition model with heterogeneous firms to study the interaction between technology adoption and trade in a world of two countries facing different technology adoption costs. It shows that a reduction in the technology adoption cost in one country increases the productivity, induces more firms to adopt advanced technology, and improves welfare in this count...

Technology offers great benefits to employees. This study draws from the theory of the technology acceptance model (TAM) and counterfactual thinking theory and posits anticipated emotion to be an important intermediate variable between adoption intention and exogenous factors (i.e., perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use). The proposed model lays the foundation for a richer understandin...

This research-in-progress paper utilizes the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to determine whether differences exist in the adoption of Instant Messaging (IM) Technologies in Australia, China, Mexico and the USA. Despite significant differences in the technology needed to implement IM (e.g., software supporting Chinese language characters), few barriers exist to the adoption of IM given the en...

In the modern world, success of an organization, both in the public and private sectors, is dependent on increased efficiencies and productivity due to investments and acceptance of information technology. This has focused attention on factors that influence individuals’ acceptance and subsequent use of information systems and technology. The Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (...

the paper presents a model integrating theories from collaboration research (i.e., social presence theory, channel expansion theory, and the task closure model) with a recent theory from technology adoption research (i.e., unified theory of acceptance and use of technology, abbreviated to utaut) to explain the adoption and use of collaboration technology. we theorize that collaboration technolo...

Educational institutions in Bangladesh had to stop face-to-face educational activities during the COVID-19 pandemic. Institutions accepted online classes as only alternative for conducting activities. Teachers and students transitioned from medium by using a Learning Management System (LMS). Google Classroom has evolved an LMS this period. This study uses quantitative research methodology focus...
