چکیده
This research-in-progress paper describes the factors that influence the adoption of IT platforms for application development. The adoption of specific platforms is of tremendous importance in the IT industry; as developers choose particular platforms, they influence the programming languages, applications, and technologies that will become dominant in the future. IT adoption has been a popular area of research for several decades, with a number of theoretical explanations having been developed. IT adoption, however, may differ systematically from IT platform adoption. To investigate the factors that influence IT platform adoption, and whether those factors differ from those that are relevant in IT adoption, we conduct an interpretive field study, analyzing interviews with mobile application developers. After analyzing our results, we discuss the similarities to and differences from extant research on IT adoption.

متن کاملI NFORMATION T ECHNOLOGY AND S OCIAL L OAFING : A Q UALITATIVE I NVESTIGATION Research - in - Progress
While ICT-supported teams are increasingly popular, most suffer from a phenomenon called social loafing (SL). SL is the tendency to withhold one’s effort when working with others. Past research has examined various determinants and mechanisms of SL but the relationships between IT and SL have remained largely unexplored. Our objectives are to identify the key factors that play a role in SL in I...

Research has suggested that alliance experience contribute to value creation in alliances, although mixed findings have been reported in the past. Using the perspective of knowledge integration, this paper explores the roles of a dedicated alliance function and information technology in the process of integrating previous alliance experience. More importantly, it proposes a potential synergisti...

Human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) is associated with adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) and HTLV-1-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP). Only a limited percentage of infected individuals develop disease in response to the virus while the majority remain asymptomatic and HAM/TSP is the most common clinical manifestation of the virus. HAM/TSP is an inflamma...
