Understanding users’ behaviors regarding supply chain technology: Determinants impacting the adoption and implementation of RFID technology in South Korea

An empirical investigation of factors affecting e-collaboration diffusion in SMEs

“…Similarly, Premkumar et al (1997) studied the diffusion of EDI based on the adaptation, internal diffusion, and external diffusion stages. Kim and Garrison (2010) applied a three stage diffusion model consisting of evaluation, adoption, and integration stages in order to examine the RFID implementation in South Korea. Based on the existing literature, this research adopts the evaluation, adoption, and routinization stages in a study of e-collaboration tool diffusion in SMEs.…”

“…SMEs' decisions to implement e-collaboration at various diffusion stages might vary due to the different circumstances. Studies on various stages of e-business diffusions have been suggested by various researchers such as Kim and Garrison (2010) and Zhu et al (2006). They stated that such examination of e-collaboration tool diffusion will provide an understanding of e-collaboration diffusion over time.…”

Effect of evaluation on SMMEs’ new technology decision-making processes

“…The challenges SMMEs face are linked to the problems that emanated from the non-evaluation of the potential of a new technology before adoption Kim & Garrison 2010;Nguyen 2009). As a result of the nonevaluation and non-adoption of new technology, SMMEs forfeit the opportunity to gain a competitive advantage for their businesses regarding increase in growth and efficiency rate and improvement in the quality of goods and services rendered (Boateng et al 2010;Maryeni et al 2012;Verhees, Meulenberg & Pennings 2010).…”

Relationships between need-pull/technology-push and information security management and the moderating role of regulatory pressure

“…Cooper and Zmud [20] defined six innovation steps: initiation, adoption, adaptation, acceptance, routinization, and infusion. Kim and Garrison [45] reduced these steps to three: evaluation, adoption, and integration. Yildirim et al [76] claimed that technological innovation requires that organizations proceed through many stages, including awareness, adoption, development, implementation, and performance.…”

“…The nature of these processes can vary according to the type of technology being implemented, the organization in which they are applied, and the scope and content of the research [20]. The innovation decision process is the process through which an organization shifts from an awareness of a new technology or strategic process to its development (i.e., adoption) and implementation in everyday business operations [45]. Following this line of reasoning, this study proposes that there are three steps in the innovation decision process: ISM awareness, development, and performance.…”
