“…(Barton and Bear 1999) found one of the constraints was the access to capital money for equipment or raw material, a shortage of adequately skilled personnel, and a lack of efficient business management expertise or business model, irrespective of the fact that ICT is in use or not. Lack of environmental exposures hinder the adoption of new IT/IS technologies (Seresht et al 2008;Berman et al 2007).…”

Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) are extensively being incorporated by financial institutions, operating in both the public and private sectors. ICTs refer to a wide range of IT-enabled technologies to manage electronic information quickly and effectively, thus giving a competitive edge to the organizations to compete in the global markets. However, proper implementation of ICTs in corporate financial services is still challenging with different barriers. The paper attempts to develop a theoretical model by identifying the various Critical Success Factors (CSFs) and barriers through an exhaustive and state-of-the-art review of the existing literature to adopt ICTs in corporate financial services successfully. The developed theoretical model is empirically investigated using indepth interviews with employees working in corporate financial services. The regression results showed that social influence, effort expectancy, risk-taking, and top management support significantly influence the ICT adoption. Alternatively, lack of IT skills, lack of socio-economic conditions with ICT adoption, and the lack of environmental exposures are barriers to successful ICT adoption.

Information technology is a facilitator in knowledge diffusion by enabling individuals to communicate directly in personal exchange. This includes interactive communications through newsgroups and discussion groups. Two discussion groups were analysed, the Social Work Discussion Group SOCWORK, and ABUSE‐L, a professional forum for child abuse issues. Three types of communication were identified: information transfer, requests for information and discussion of issues. The discussion of issues was the main type of communication in both discussion groups, followed by the request for information and then information transfer. Communications in the discussion groups were dominated by a small number of people. Policy issues were the main topic of discussion in both groups. The control of information technology by academics appears to limit the participation of social work practitioners in determining the agenda of the discussion group or the contents of the communications. Social worker practitioners have not increased their access to information even though the technology to make it accessible exists.
