Towards a Model of Technology Adoption: A Conceptual Model Proposition

Abstract

Abstract. A conceptual model for Information Communication Technology (ICT) adoption by Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs) is proposed. The research uses several ICT adoption models as its basis with theoretical underpinning provided by the Diffusion of Innovation theory and the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). Taking an exploratory research approach the model was investigated amongst 200 SMEs whose core business is ICT. Evidence from this study demonstrates that these SMEs face the same issues as all other industry sectors. This work points out weaknesses in SMEs environments regarding ICT adoption and suggests what they may need to do to increase the success rate of any proposed adoption. The methodology for development of the framework is described and recommendations made for improved Government-led ICT adoption initiatives. Application of the general methodology has resulted in new opportunities to embed the ethos and culture surrounding the issues into the framework of new projects developed as a result of Government intervention. A conceptual model is proposed that may lead to a deeper understanding of the issues under consideration.

“…La connaissance des services et les conditions propices plus globalement induisent également le comportement d'utilisation. Notons également que si de telles études ont déjà été réalisées du point de vue des employés (Rana, Dwivedi, et Williams 2013 ;Bhaskar, Vinay, et Joshi 2021) ou des citoyens (Costello et Moreton 2009 ;Gupta, Singh, et Bhaskar 2016 ;Jacob et al 2019 ;Wertz, Weyerer, et Rösch 2019), il semblerait qu'il existe un gap de littérature pour le traitement des deux perspectives simultanément.…”

“…TAM berasal daripada Teori Tindakan Beralasan (Theory of Reasoned Action, TRA) (Fishbein & Ajzen 1975) dan memberi penekanan kepada dua faktor utama iaitu Persepsi Mudah Guna (PMG) dan Persepsi Kebergunaan (PK). Namun, TAM didapati masih belum lengkap kerana tidak mempertimbang faktor pengaruh sosial, ekonomi dan luaran serta tidak menitikberatkan pelaksanaan tugas yang diberikan oleh sesebuah TMK (Sandhu 2008;Costello & Moreton 2009;Taherdoost 2018). Oleh itu, kebanyakan penyelidik telah memperkembang dan menambah baik TAM dengan penambahan faktor lain yang berasal daripada teori dan model lain seperti Teori Kognitif Sosial (Bandura 1986) dan Teori Resapan Inovasi (Innovation Diffusion Theory, IDT) (Rogers 1995…”
