“…Efficiency aims to map the efficiency of technology while adopting digital communication technology among unorganized retailers would deliver several benefits in their supply chain management. In several studies, inefficient technologies affect business significantly and create ambiguity in technology adoption (Whittlesey, 2003;Managi, 2014). Thus, this study argues that efficiency is directly associated with satisfaction and indirectly influences continuous intention to use.…”

Indian retail industry held the second rank in A.T. Kearney's Global retail development index in 2021 and ranked 16th FDI confidence index. The retail industry provides ample job opportunities and contributes to the economic progress of the nation. After the advent of new innovation there are new technologies which have emerged in business and it also substantially changed consumer behavior. Digital communication allows the user to transfer data from one end to another using digital technologies like e-mail, phone calls, video conferencing, and several instant message applications. Digital communication allows retailers to send personalized business information to their loyal customers and the customers respond to those messages, which in turn generate business for unorganized retailers. Digital communication not only improves the business of unorganized retailers but also the business image, Geographical spread, profitability, new customer acquisition, customer retention, and the like. Digital communication will transform the traditional unorganized retailer into an offline-to-online commerce model. Based on theoretical review this study identified constructs and proposed major determinants which influence technology adoption and its continuance among the unorganized retailers. This study assesses the digital communication technology usage in supply chain management among unorganized retailers with the constructs like experience, effortlessness, efficiency, enrichment, trust, security, digital infrastructure, satisfaction, and continuous intention to use. The results show that digital communication technology's effort, experience, and efficiency influence satisfaction. However, enrichment failed to influence satisfaction. Further, the results show that satisfaction and security influence continuous intention to use. However, trust and digital infrastructure failed to influence. Therefore, digital communication technology usage in supply chain management among unorganized retailers is substantially influenced by constructs like effort, experience, efficiency, satisfaction, and security.

“…Another approach to consider is equation-based diffusion modeling, which can be non-parametric and probabilistic. It can identify the number of adopters based on the previous adoption conditioning of different factors, including non-rationality assumptions ( Managi et al., 2014 ). Still, this approach is not flexible enough to address detailed levels of system dynamism, market competition, and interactions among different actors.…”

“…Technical knowledge and experience are important in determining the adopting technology (Hoque & Sorwar, 2017;Managi at al., 2014;Prause, 2019;Purohit & Arora, 2021), and lack of technical knowledge and experience inhibit adoption. Similarly, in this study, it was evident that the limited technical knowledge and experience in using the technology among the accounting professionals resulted in the low levels of adoption.…”

Internet-based technologies such as big data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, Internet of things, robotic process automation, blockchain, etc. influence the traditional accountants' role and the accounting process despite their limited adoption within the accounting field. Why there is a minimal adoption of these technologies in accounting is less investigated. Therefore, this study endeavoured to identify the internet-based technologies that are used in the Sri Lankan banking sector, and identify the perceptions of the banking professionals on the underlying reasons for the limited adoption of internet-based technologies in accounting. Seventeen online interviews were conducted in two large licensed commercial banks, and data were analyzed inductively; the results are discussed, using the process of institutionalization by Tolbert and Zucker (1996) and the Technology acceptance model by Davis (1989). Robotic process automation (RPA), data analytics, artificial intelligence, and cloud computing were used at the banks at varying levels. Lack of technical knowledge and experience in using technology among accounting professionals; fear/reluctance in adopting advanced IT solutions; feeling of undue influence from IT staff; and the already institutionalized accounting practices resulted in lack of adoption. These technologies are still at the stage of pre-institutionalization, and for them to reach full institutionalization stage, improving the current levels of IT skills of accounting professionals; incorporating IT skills into their skill set; attempts for more rationalization/theorizing; facilitating the visualization of positive outcomes; increasing interest group advocacy; and an increase in the perceived usefulness and ease of use among staff is necessary. This study's findings enable the promotion of internet-based technologies within banks and open new avenues for research.
