The rapid growth of investment in information technology (IT) by organizations worldwide has made user acceptance an increasingly critical technology implementation a d management issue. While such acceptance has received fairly extensive attention from previous research, additional efforts are needed to examine or validate existing research results, particularly those involving different techn...

This research analyzes network effects in technology acceptance. The hypothesis is that the size of the user network affects technology acceptance. Even today, empirical measurement of network effects is challenging and there is a lack of experimental evidence. In order to investigate andmeasure the relationechnology acceptance etwork effects etwork externalities aboratory experiment ship betwe...

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 1990’s a number of studies either extended the model by identifying antecedents to technology acceptance or have replicated and validated the model. But few studies have examined the role of organization culture ...

business process reengineering (bpr) –the key mechanism for fundamental redesign in processes has a critical role in productivity improvement. but it needs some enablers in initiation phase including human resources acceptance. there are two behavioral theories containing factors for acceptance promotion: innovation diffusion and technology acceptance model. in this research we have used these ...

This research analyzes network effects in technology acceptance, on the hypothesis that the larger is user network, the more likely is technology acceptance. Still today, empirical measurement of network effects is challenging and there is a lack of experimental evidence, particularly in technology acceptance research. To overcome this limitation we reproduce a particular class of technology ac...

Voice recognition technology-enabled devices possess extraordinary growth potential, yet some research indicates that organizations and consumers are resisting their adoption. This study investigates the implementation of a voice recognition device in the United States Navy. Grounded in the social psychology and information systems literature, the researchers adapted instruments and developed a...

Issues related to technology, including diffusion, acceptance, adoption, and adaptation, have been the focus of research for different disciplines including Information Systems (IS), System Dynamics, Psychology, and Management Science. Of all research conducted and models developed to study technology related issues, the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) stands out as most prominent, particular...
