Adopting an Information Communication and Technology (ICT) system in an organization is somewhat challenging. User diversity, heavy workload, and different skill gap make the ICT adoption process slower. This research starts from a condition that a conventional ICT learning through short workshop and guidance book is not working well. This research proposes a model called ICT instruction design...

Expertise in ICT is scattered across globally. Mobility of the researchers, the effective way of imparting knowledge from people with expertise in a specialised branch of area has not yet been fully studied. The gender imbalance in ICT education has been reduced in the recent past; however in the higher level such as R & D, inequality exists considerably. The dependence of women on men hinders ...

This study compares ICT adoptions of four developing nations: Zimbabwe to Albania and Namibia to Venezuela. Each pair of countries has similar gross domestic product but different ICT adoption level. Using qualitative, non-conventional analysis of comparing a pair of countries based on country-specific factors, the findings reveal that the difference in ICT adoption of two similar such countrie...

Purpose – ICT has considerable importance for increasing productivity and growth. Using ICT requires resources to create value. As resources are more limited in smaller enterprises, and the contexts and conditions for using ICT in SMEs are not well known, the purpose is to investigate conditions, in the context of sensemaking for ICT adoption and use among SMEs. Method – This study uses a quali...

Even though the literature on the adoption and use of mobile services is quite extensive, surprisingly few studies have been found that have applied traditional models of information and communication technology (ICT) adoption such as the technology acceptance model. This suggests different perspectives have been applied in studies of mobile ICT adoption and traditional ICT adoption. With the i...

One of the many challenges facing many developing countries today is preparing their societies and governments for globalization and the information and communication revolution. Academics are increasingly concerned with the need to make their societies competitive in the emergent information economy. For example in 1997 Uganda working with World Bank Institute initiated a programme to effectiv...

In this paper, we explore some of the results from a survey of 378 small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) based in the southeast of England. The objective of this survey was to build a snapshot of the state of play of the information and communications technology (ICT) use by SMEs in economically significant sectors in this region. The sectors chosen were as follows: food processing, transpo...
