Technological Diffusion in Industry: Research Needs and Shortcomings

Resistance to Mobile Banking Adoption in Egypt: A Cultural Perspective

“…In addition, this is related to different types of anxiety towards computers [45], or technology itself, referring to consumers' negative state of mind about technology tools [46]. Fain and Roberts [34] stated that the image barrier in online banking emerges from a negative hard-to-use image of computers and the Internet.…”

The diffusion of clean technologies: a review with suggestions for future diffusion analysis

“…This often is not so, at least not initially (see Ref. [28] on that). In the beginning a new technology is often expensive and too crude to be used on a wide scale: ''most inventions are relatively crude and inefficient at the date when they are first recognized as constituting a new innovation.…”

Innovations and the economics of new technology spreading within and across users: gaps and way forward

“…The epidemic model is part of a class of models defined as disequilibrium models (see the Golds critiques to this type of models for different view-points on equilibrium versus disequilibrium models [24,52,32,26,40]). In such models the number of users (S ijt ) will increase over time until the optimal equilibrium level/satiation point S ijd *, is reached.…”
