RFID technology is recently an emerging technology that is being used in many echelons of supply chain participants. Most recent IS research on this technology focus on factors which will impact its organizational adoption. However, adoption is just one part of assimilation process which cannot make sure that RFID can be full-scale deployed in an organization. Assimilation theories also suggest...

There has been little empirical research into the adoption of wireless technology in healthcare. Although there is a growing interest dedicated to the analysis of technical and operational aspects of wireless devices, there is little research into factors that would lead to the successful adoption of wireless technology in healthcare. Thorough literature reviews were conducted to synthesise ado...

An ex ante adoption model of bovine somatotropin (BST) is estimated with survey data of California milk producers. Theoretical justification is developed for incorporation of socioeconomic explanatory variables in a technology-adoption model. The advantages of a multinomial over a binomial ex ante model also are presented. The multinomial logit model is used to predict BST adoption, to test hyp...

This article proposes a hypothetical model for determining rate of diffusion of an innovation in a system. The model modifies Everett Rogers’ S-curve using an index created from Gartner’s hype cycle phases. Rogers’ model for technology innovation adoption demonstrates that cumulative technology diffusion in a system from zero through the late majority adopters’ phase forms a curve resembling th...

The Technology Acceptance Model, popularly known as the TAM, has been widely used in the information systems literature to explain individual adoption of information technology. In the late 1990’s, and the early part of this century, a number of studies either extended the model by identifying antecedents to technology acceptance or have replicated and validated the model. An aspect that has ca...

Globalization and advances in information technology represent both realities and opportunities for enterprises in the 21st century. This paper aims to broaden understanding of service innovation as a critical organizational capability through which the adoption of information technology influences firm performance. This study examines how the adoption of radio frequency identification (RFID) t...

This paper develops an endogenous growth model with labor market matching and technology adoption. While labor market search and entry frictions lengthen technology diffusion, exogenous technology arrival may creatively destruct jobs in the short run. Such interrelationships give rise to multiple equilibria (global and local indeterminacy) under which a small autonomous technological improvemen...

Technology improvements are appraised by setting up different forage, animal breed/feed/management systems, cost of production, and associated technology adoption versions of the model to provide simulations with and without the smallholder dairy intensification technologies in Kenya agriculture. As a reminder, technologies currently in practice and considered in this assessment included tradit...

Can the availability of poorly-designed government insurance alter technology adoption decisions? A theoretical model of technology adoption and insurance incentive effects for a highand low-risk technology is developed and explored empirically using a unique dataset of skip-row agronomic trial data. A multivariate nonparametric resampling technique is developed, which augments the trial data w...

During the first six months of COVID-19 pandemic, around world, evidence is mounting as to unenveness impacts across communities. There are disproportionately more on people who elderly, economically marginalized, immunologically compromised, and members racialized equity-seeking As part response, virus transmission mitigation efforts including use new technology tools like contract tracing app...
