Determinants of e-business diffusion: A test of the technology diffusion perspective

Adoption of BIM by architectural firms in India: technology–organization–environment perspective

“…Evidence of TOE based empirical research can be consistently seen in the research areas of information technology and commerce (Jain et al, 2011;Lin & Lin, 2008;Xu, Zhu, & Gibbs, 2004;Zhu & Kraemer, 2005). The current research adopts the TOE framework to map the trajectory of BIM adoption among Indian architectural firms.…”

“…The internal/external technologies connected to the firm describe the technological context; the descriptive attributes of the firm describe the organizational context and environmental characteristics include the industry, competitors, suppliers and government (Jain, Le, Lin, & Cheng, 2011). Our research examines the influence of complexity, compatibility, and trialability in technological context (Doolin & Al Haj Ali, 2008;Lin & Lin, 2008;Mirchandani & Motwani, 2001;Premkumar & Roberts, 1999;Ramdani, Kawalek, & Lorenzo, 2009;Roberts & Pick, 2004;Srinivasan, Lilien, & Rangaswamy, 2002;Zhu, Kraemer, & Xu, 2003); top management support, perceived financial cost and BIM expertise in organizational context (Al-Qirim, 2007;Balocco, Mogre, & Toletti, 2009;Doolin & Al Haj Ali, 2008;Grover, 1993;Huang, Janz, & Frolick, 2008;Kuan & Chau, 2001;Lin & Lin, 2008;Moore & Benbasat, 1991;Premkumar & Roberts, 1999;Zhu & Kraemer, 2005); and client requirements and trade partner readiness in environmental context (Al-Qirim, 2007;Doolin & Al Haj Ali, 2008;Lin & Lin, 2008;Premkumar & Roberts, 1999;Ramdani et al, 2009;Zhu et al, 2003) Adoption and Figure 2: TOE Framework (Tornatzky & Fleischer, 1990) In the current research, TOE framework has been used for investigating the factors affecting BIM adoption among architectural firms in India. As BIM processes require organization wide adoption (including adoption in the project delivery network) and as this research focuses on studying the BIM adoption among architecture firms (and not individuals) an organizational-level adoption theory is deemed suitable for the current research.…”

“…Perceived financial cost and BIM expertise scales were adapted from Kuan and Chau (2001); Lin and Lin (2008) respectively and both comprised of three items. To measure trade partner readiness, trust and technology adoption, two-item scale suggested by Chwelos et al (2001), two-item scale drawn from Belanche, Casaló, and Flavián (2012) and one-item scale drawn from Srinivasan et al (2002) were used, respectively.…”

A Technology-Organization-Environment Perspective on Eco-effectiveness: A Meta-analysis

“…The industry characteristics are comprised of competitive pressure and pressure from trading partners. This study defines competitive pressure as the pressure that arises from a threat to losing or maintaining competitive advantage, forces organizations to search for new technological adoption as alternatives to their current strategies (Lin and Lin, 2008). As more and more organizations are adopting green initiatives, this pervasive phenomenon has been pressuring organizations to adopt green technologies so as they can stay competitive in the industry or out-perform their competitors.…”

How do supply chain management and information systems practices influence operational performance? Evidence from emerging country SMEs

“…These IS practices entail interorganizational coordination among boundary-spanning employees and also synchronize IS technologies with business processes to work effectively. First, e-business refers to the use of internet-based applications to manage intra-and interorganizational business processes (Lin and Lin, 2008). Second, radio frequency identification (RFID) refers to using transponders or tags affiliated with objects for identifying and tracking them by means of radio waves (Hu et al, 2011).…”
