Full textAbstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to describe a new benchmarking framework on the factors that influence digital library (DL) adoption by aligning them with the constructs of DL models to establish the likely critical success factors (CSFs) for DL implementation. Design/methodology/approach Concept mapping is used to illustrate the relationship between the information systems success model and DL frameworks. Technology organisation and environment (TOE) framework was chosen as the central theme and was mapped with the three DL frameworks reviewed (5S framework; the Zachman Framework for Enterprise Architecture and the DELOS DL reference model) to come up with the likely success dimensions for DLs. A set of possible success factors was assembled from the literature on previous studies relating to factors that are critical to the success of information systems and DLs. The description of each DL potential success factors was finally developed as an item statement with verification from the literature review. Findings A total of 53 success factors items were assembled from literature represented by the final ten constructs of the CSFs; 16 items characterise DL technology, 13 items denote DL organisation and 24 items symbolise DL environment. Findings show that these factors may be good determinants for an effective implementation of DLs. Research limitations/implications The outcome can positively influence the implementation of DLs worldwide. Originality/value This is the first study in library science that incorporates TOE with DL frameworks to come up with the success factors of DL implementation.

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to empirically explore the effects and interaction effect of human resources and digital manufacturing technologies (DMTs) on supply chain integration (SCI) and how their roles are influenced by competition.Design/methodology/approachDrawing on the technology-organization-environment (TOE) framework, this study builds and tests a holistic model based on the International Manufacturing Strategy Survey (IMSS) project database.FindingsThe results show that human resources and DMTs have significant positive effects on three dimensions of SCI. Competition positively moderates the effects of human resources on customer integrations, negatively moderates the effects of human resource on internal integration, but does not moderate the effects of human resources on supplier integration. Besides, the moderating effect of competition has not been found in the relationships between DMTs and three SCI dimensions.Originality/valueBy investigating the effects of human resources and DMTs on SCI practices in the context of competition, this study contributes to the literature on SCI, DMTs and the TOE framework as well as offers practical insights that help manufacturing firms to promote SCI more effectively and efficiently.

Full textAbstract:
Financial technology or “FinTech” is an amalgam of the use of technology for financial transactions and processes. Fintech adoption for business processes by small businesses largely remains unexplored in the context of emerging markets. This study was conducted during late 2018 using a sample of 117 owner and managers of small businesses in India, for exploring the fintech adoption through the Technology Organization Environment (TOE) framework. The method applied for data analysis was partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). It was found that perceived direct benefits of fintech had a significant effect on fintech adoption. Counter-intuitively, the perceived cost of fintech adoption was not a significant factor in fintech adoption. These results have significant managerial and academic relevance for understanding fintech adoption agenda of small businesses in the emerging markets.

Full textAbstract:
Blockchain technology (BCT) has been gaining popularity due to its benefits for almost every industry. However, despite its benefits, the organizational adoption of BCT is rather limited. This lack of uptake motivated us to identify the factors that influence the adoption of BCT from an organizational perspective. In doing this, we reviewed the BCT literature, interviewed BCT experts, and proposed a research model based on the TOE framework. Specifically, we theorized the role of technological (perceived benefits, compatibility, information transparency, and disintermediation), organizational (organization innovativeness, organizational learning capability, and top management support), and environmental (competition intensity, government support, trading partners readiness, and standards uncertainty) factors in the organizational adoption of BCT in Australia. We confirmed the model with a sample of adopters and potential adopter organizations in Australia. The results show a significant role of the proposed factors in the organizational adoption of BCT in Australia. Additionally, we found that the relationship between the influential factors and BCT adoption is moderated by “perceived risks”. The study extends the TOE framework by adding factors that were ignored in previous studies on BCT adoption, such as perceived information transparency, perceived disintermediation, organizational innovativeness, organizational learning capability, and standards uncertainty.

Full textAbstract:
Big data is rapidly being seen as a new frontier for improving organizational performance. However, it is still in its early phases of implementation in developing countries’ healthcare organizations. As data-driven insights become critical competitive advantages, it is critical to ascertain which elements influence an organization’s decision to adopt big data. The aim of this study is to propose and empirically test a theoretical framework based on technology–organization–environment (TOE) factors to identify the level of readiness of big data adoption in developing countries’ healthcare organizations. The framework empirically tested 302 Malaysian healthcare employees. The structural equation modeling was used to analyze the collected data. The results of the study demonstrated that technology, organization, and environment factors can significantly contribute towards big data adoption in healthcare organizations. However, the complexity of technology factors has shown less support for the notion. For technology practitioners, this study showed how to enhance big data adoption in healthcare organizations through TOE factors.

Full textAbstract:
This study reviews literature on mobile banking adoption in organizations to identify its influential factors and its operationalization in prior literature. We classify the factors that influence mobile banking adoption using the three contexts suggested by the Technology, Organization and Environment (TOE) framework, namely, technology, organization, and environment. The finding suggests that the influences of these factors vary across studies and most of the studies have operationalized mobile banking adoption using intention to adopt mobile banking or binary variable, rather than the actual use of the technology.

Full textAbstract:
Big data technology (BDT) is being actively adopted by world-leading organizations due to its expected benefits. However, most of the organizations in Thailand are still in the decision or planning stage to adopt BDT. Many challenges exist in encouraging the BDT diffusion in businesses. Thus, this study develops a research model that investigates the determinants of BDT adoption in the Thai context based on the technology-organization-environment (TOE) framework and diffusion of innovation (DOI) theory. Data were collected through an online questionnaire. Three hundred IT employees in different organizations in Thailand were used as a sample group. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was conducted to test the hypotheses. The result indicated that the research model was fitted with the empirical data with the statistics: Normed Chi-Square=1.651, GFI=0.895, AFGI=0.863, NFI=0.930, TLI=0.964, CFI=0.971, SRMR=0.0392, and RMSEA=0.046. The research model could, at 52%, explain decision to adopt BDT. Relative advantage, top management support, competitive pressure, and trading partner pressure show significant positive relation with BDT adoption, while security negatively influences BDT adoption.

Full textAbstract:
Motivated by the need to understand the underlying antecedents of RFID adoption in retail, this study proposes and tests a framework predicting RFID adoption intent. Based on the TOE (technology-organization-environment) framework, this research develops and validates the research framework to examine the influence of twelve contextual factors under four broad categories (technological, organizational, environmental, and value-chain) on RFID adoption in retail. A structured study instrument is developed to measure these variables and data are collected from 74 experts spread across different business associations through Delphi technique. Multivariate discriminant analysis (MDA) is used to develop the conceptual framework for RFID adoption. The results indicate that relative advantage, competitive pressure, catalyst agent, and value chain complexity are significant determinants of RFID adoption in retail. It suggests that environmental characteristics are very important to be considered in RFID adoption studies along with technological and value chain characteristics.

In this research, employee adoption intention is important consideration of successful ERP system implementation. The purpose of this research is to identify the important factors in Technology-Organization-Environment framework that affect ERP system adoption's intention. Online survey data were collected from 175 employees with active status from each department who had used ERP in PHG, Indonesia. The research data was collected through simple random sampling method and applying SEM in AMOS 24. The results of this article proves that technology readiness, organization size, and external support significantly influence ERP system adoption intention. Compatibility, relative advantage, complexity, top management support, business operation, and competition pressure have no significant influence on ERP system adoption intention. Thus, it can be concluded that ERP system adoption's intention is important to enhance corporate competitive advantage. Adopted ERP system can be developed continuously by involving employees to achieve information technology and business strategy within company.

Full textAbstract:
The lockdown of universities and educational institutions during the COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the educational process. Saudi Arabia became a forerunner during COVID-19 by taking initial precautions of curfews and total restrictions. However, these restrictions had a disruptive effect on various sectors, specifically the educational sector. The Ministry of Education strived to cope with the consequences of these changes swiftly by shifting to online education. This paper aims to study the impact of COVID-19 on the educational process through a comparative study of the responses collected from different cases, and the challenges that are faced throughout the educational process. The study conducted a cross-sectional, self-administered online questionnaire during the outbreak and distance learning, which was designed based on the Technology–Organization–Environment (TOE) framework of students. Most questions used a five-point Likert scale. The responses were randomly collected from 150 undergraduate and postgraduate students who were studying in Saudi Arabian universities, to study the overall performance of education institutions during COVID-19. The collected data were analyzed and compared to the results in the literature. The main factors impacted by this transformation are addressed. These factors are based on research and observations and aim to overcome the encountered limitations and to present their level of impact on distance education. The research framework can be useful for higher educational authorities aiming to overcome the issues highlighted and discussed in this study.

In the modern era, human resource management is accompanied by the information system which is instrumental in managing human resource processes. In the current competitive and challenging environment, organizational success depends on its effective and efficient human resource. Human resource along with IT professionals can create an environment in an organization for successful adoption of human resource information systems. While considering it as a key factor in modern enterprise management, its burgeoning interest has led to the foundation of this article. The study is to delve deep into the literature and to explore the factors responsible for human resource information system adoption and to identify the barriers in its implementation and to provide suggestions to overcome these barriers. The findings reveal that the factors of human resource information system mentioned in literature are important. These factors should be taken into consideration while adopting Human Resource Information System by integrating Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) framework with Human-Organization-Technology (HOT) framework.

Full textAbstract:
Many theoretical models viz., technology acceptance model (TAM), technology–organization–environment (TOE), diffusion of innovation (DOI), and human–organization–technology-fit (HOT-fit), etc., have been developed, validated, and tested to explain the acceptance of innovative technologies by the intended end users. However, given the limitations associated with these theoretical models as well as different cloud computing adoption scenario, they may not point out to the major constructs and the variables under so-called “selective contexts” in an explicit manner. Therefore, several research studies have been undertaken to integrate more than one model to provide a holistic evaluation of the determinants of cloud computing adoption for different domains. Such studies have also been conducted for education sector as well. But, the target of these studies is mostly specific to higher education using TOE or TAM models. To solve this limitation, we propose integrated approach of TAM, TOE framework, DOI, and HOT-fit frameworks in an effort to improve predictive power of proposed resulting model and, stretching the constructs to enrich the literature and implementing the same for Indian school education system as a case study.

Full textAbstract:
The business success of small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) increasingly relies on the adoption of various technological innovations. For today’s unpredictable business operations, business intelligence systems (BISs) represent one of the most prominent tools with a significant impact on business performance. However, different internal and external risks may influence BIS adoption. The goal of this paper is to investigate the risks that impact BIS adoption in SMEs, using the Technology, Organization, and Environment (TOE) framework. For that purpose, we develop the logistic regression model, using data collected by a questionnaire survey using a sample of 100 Croatian SMEs. The results indicate the applicability of the TOE theoretical framework for examining BIS adoption in SMEs. Given the results obtained, the sampled SMEs should take into account the internal risks related to the organizational dimension and external risks related to the environmental dimension. Our research did not reveal the significant impact of technological risks that encompass characteristics of considered technological innovation related to the technology dimension.

Full textAbstract:
In a challenging business environment, organizations are striving to stay competitive. Cloud computing is changing the way IT services is being provided and managed. Cloud computing is becoming more relevant in that the benefits of cloud computing include reducing infrastructure and maintenance costs, increasing operational efficiencies, availability and flexibility. However, like any other technology, both strategically and operationally, the organizations are not very confident in adoption and using it. Therefore, in an attempt to help South African organizations to leverage off the benefits of cloud computing. This paper focuses on how cloud computing may be strategically adopted and use in South Africa from the context of individual Information Technology Professionals. To achieve these South African organizations require a means to adopt and use cloud computing. To this point, the contribution of this paper is a framework, based on Contingency Theory, Stakeholder Theory and Technology-Organization-Environment Framework (TOE), that South African organization can use to strategically position cloud computing as preferred technology in a uniformed and coordinated manner. This study applies interpretivism philosophy and case study to understand the cloud computing adoption and use in South African organizations. The study participants were purposefully selected based on their knowledge, experience and views on cloud computing. The main contribution of this paper is the strategic cloud computing framework that can be used by decision-makers to strategically adopt and use cloud computing in a uniformed and coordinated manner in South African organizations.

Purpose This paper aims to identify key factors driving auditors’ adoption of Generalized Audit Software (GAS) in a large developing country, Indonesia, through the lens of the technology, organization and environment (TOE) framework. Design/methodology/approach Results of this study are based on semi-structured in-depth interviews conducted in Indonesia with audit firms of varying sizes. Findings Key study findings included the identification of highly influential adoption factors, especially environmental factors, such as availability of information technology-skilled auditors in the local market, client needs and expectations and client size. This study has also identified factors, not identified in previous research, as being influential including the importance of GAS availability in a range of languages and the necessity of a supportive professional and regulatory environment. Originality/value This study makes several contributions to the literature including that it identifies new influential factors in the TOE framework. This framework has not been widely applied in auditing research and looks beyond the individual perspective to that of the organization as a whole. Moreover, the present study takes a developing country perspective and examines a range of audit firms. In contrast, most studies to date in the area have taken a Western focus and have concentrated on large audit firms. Additionally, this study provides an in-depth analysis through the use of semi-structured interviews, whereas prior studies have relied on surveys.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to review the literature on information technology adoption in organizations to understand the need of integrated models for technology adoption. It further makes an attempt to identify key parameters to integrate technology acceptance model (TAM) and technology-organization-environment (TOE) framework for firm level technology adoption. This integration is intended to improve predictive power of resulting model. Design/methodology/approach – The research papers are accessed from the popular databases from 2000 to 2012. The selected papers have addressed technology adoption in context of recent technologies such as e-commerce, ERP, RFID, EDI and knowledge management, etc. The paper attempts to review the studies based on TAM model and TOE framework to identify relevant set of variables for the adoption of these technologies in organizations. Findings – TAM and its extended versions have high capability to explain the technology adoption while the significance of TOE framework is similarly recognized in explaining technology adoption. This review presents a holistic picture of a set of variables which can be used in the adoption of similar technologies in future. Further, the study has advocated the integration of TAM model and TOE framework to improve their explanatory power in technology adoption. The identified set of variables of TAM model and TOE framework can be used to integrate the two. Guidelines for integrating the two are also explained. Research limitations/implications – This study provides a platform for studying adoption of similar technologies using integration of TAM and TOE. Practical implications – The researchers and managers can use the set of variables identified for adoption of similar technologies in organizations. Originality/value – The review presents a set of variables which can be used to study adoption of similar technologies in future.

Previous studies have only looked from the viewpoint of individual auditors and do not use a framework in which to understand the audit technology adoption. The audit technology differs from other information technology adoption because audit tools change the way in which auditors carry their tasks. One of the major contributions in this study is to use the TOE framework to analyse the factors in organisation adoption. Data of this study were gathered through questionnaire surveys that were self-administered to 1,367 audit firms registered in the Malaysian Institute of Accountants directory. Our findings indicate that although firms generally acknowledge that there are advantages of audit technology implementation and the benefits outweigh the costs, the firms also recognise that their organisations are only somewhat ready to adopt and their staff’s competency are only at a moderate level to be able to use the audit technology. Our survey also indicates that the role played by professional body support is important to increase its adoption.

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) trail large organizations in leveraging IT systems. SMEs are beginning to understand the significance of implementing IT systems like ERP for improving their preparedness in business processes. Hence the objective of this research article is to develop a framework to analyse SME's organizational preparedness for implementing the technology. This research applies a General Morphological Analysis (GMA) framework to explore suitable models and variables for IT change preparedness to realize the benefits of ERP implementation in SMEs. An SMEs drawback in implementing IT tools is specifically due to a lack of knowledge and an acute shortage of resources like investment and manpower. The review of literature in this article using general morphological analysis is novel for ERP implementation in the SME sector. Based on the review of articles, a morphology with a technology organization framework and environment (TOE) framework which evaluates technological, organizational and environment is most adequate to understand the IT readiness for ERP among SMEs.

Journal of Science & Technology Policy Management 6, no. 1 (March 2, 2015): 76–94. http://dx.doi.org/10.1108/jstpm-04-2014-0012.
Full textAbstract:
Purpose – This paper aims to propose a framework that integrated the technology acceptance model (TAM), theory of planned behaviour (TPB) and technology-organization-environment (TOE) and extended the constructs to enrich literature and capture some peculiarities of small and medium-scale enterprises (SMEs). Individually, the frameworks of extant TAM, TPB and TOE are insightful to the understanding of e-commerce adoption but a bit parochial in their constructs and so, can rarely provide clear lenses to deal with SMEs. Design/methodology/approach – The adoption of e-commerce depends largely on the users’ conscious assessment of the influencing constructs as proposed, among others, in theories of reasoned action, TAM, TPB and TOE. This paper reviewed, synthesized and extended the constructs of these models in an integrated framework. The proposed integrated framework led to 18 propositions to promote and facilitate future research, and to guide explanation and prediction of e-commerce adoption in an organized system. Findings – The introduced constructs in the integrated framework (e.g. company mission, individual difference factors, perceived trust and perceived service quality) introduce socio-technical systems and improve the theoretical base of adoption. Research limitations/implications – Neither the adoption drivers nor the constructs in the theoretical framework are mutually exclusive and exhaustive; rather, they are complementary and could incorporate other factors. Although the theoretical implications of the findings of this paper extend the scope of adoption drivers, the proposed framework needs to be tested empirically. Originality/value – The integrated and extended theoretical framework links three adoption drivers and attempts to improve existing knowledge on e-commerce adoption and to provide bases for more informed decision(s).

Evaluating Industry 4.0 technology application in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) is an issue that requires a multi-criteria strategy comprising quantitative and qualitative elements. The purpose of this study is to integrate performance estimation of Industry 4.0 technology application using the technology–organization–environment (TOE) framework. Relating TOE to Industry 4.0 technology application evaluation is more multifaceted than other methods and it requires comprehensive analysis. In this study, we applied a multiple-criteria decision-making (MCDM) approach to develop a model which integrates MCDM to perform an assessment that prioritizes the influence weights of Industry 4.0 technology application to SMEs’ factors. Firstly, we carried out a review of the literature and the TOE framework was selected to generate nine elements, along with three aspects used to measure Industry 4.0 technology application in SMEs. Secondly, the approach of the decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) was set up using an influence network relations digraph (INRD). The DEMATEL-based analytic network process (DANP) was used to indicate the influence weights linking the above aspects and elements. Lastly, the modified VlseKriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje (VIKOR) technique applied influence weights to assess the aspects/elements in the gaps identified and to investigate how to reduce the gaps so as to estimate the application of Industry 4.0 technology by SMEs. The results show that the technology aspect is the most influential factor.

With the increased interest among organizations in managing Information Technology (IT) projects as a portfolio, there has been a growing need for research on factors influencing adoption of IT Project Portfolio Management (ITPPM). ITPPM allows organizations to improve the alignment of IT projects with organizational strategy, by balancing the risks and returns from inter-related projects. To contribute to our understanding of ITPPM, this study examines the adoption of ITPPM through the theoretical lens of diffusion of innovation. Using the technology, organization, and environment (TOE) framework, we model ITPPM adoption and test our model using survey data from 302 project managers. Our results show that an organization's external pressure, ITPPM costs, organizational support, quality of data on existing IT projects, number of IT projects within the organization, and business resistance are significantly related to the adoption decision. We also find interesting results in how expected benefits of ITPPM and compatibility are perceived as equally important by both adopters and nonadopters. In light of the increasingly complex IT project management environment faced by organizations, our paper helps managers to understand and focus on key enablers of ITPPM adoption and better manage ITPPM inhibitors.

Aim/Purpose: Bring your own device (BYOD) provides opportunities for both the organization and employees, but the adoption of BYOD also introduces risks. This case study of an organization’s BYOD program identifies key positive and negative influences on the adoption decision. Background: The consumerization of IT introduced the BYOD phenomenon into the enterprise environment. As mobile and Internet technologies improve employees are opting to use their personal devices to access organizational systems to perform their work tasks. Such devices include smartphones, tablets and laptop computers. Methodology: This research uses a case study approach to investigate how business priorities drive the adoption of BYOD and how resulting benefits and risks are realized and managed by the organization. Primary empirical data was collected using semi-structured interviews with 15 senior employees from a large South African financial services organization. Policy documents from the organization were analyzed as secondary data. Contribution: Thematic analysis of the data revealed six major themes: improving employee mobility; improving client service and experience; creating a competitive industry advantage; improving business processes; information security risks; and management best practices. Findings: The themes were analyzed using the Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) framework, showing the key positive and negative influences on the adoption decision. Recommendations for Practitioners: Organizations need to clearly understand the reasons they want to introduce BYOD in their organizations. The conceptual framework can be applied by practitioners in their organizations to achieve their BYOD business objectives. Recommendations for Researchers: BYOD remains an important innovation for organizations with several aspects worthy of further study. The TOE framework presents a suitable lens for analysis, but other models should also be considered. Impact on Society: The findings show that organizations can use BYOD to improve client service, gain competitive advantage, and improve their processes using their digital devices and backend systems. The BYOD trend is thus not likely to go away anytime soon. Future Research: The applicability of findings should be validated across additional contexts. Additional models should also be used.

Whilst a broad range of project portfolio management (PPM) tools is developed to enable and automate the PPM processes, there is a limited understanding of the factors affecting their adoption and deployment in organizations. This research presents a systematic approach that integrates the topic modeling with technology-organization-environment (TOE) framework to identify the salient factors affecting the adoption of PPM software from online software reviews. The proposed approach consists of four main steps: reviews collection and preprocessing, factors prediction, factors ranking, and factors integration into TOE framework. The online software reviews used in this study were gathered from Gartner and included 877 reviews for 13 widely used PPM software tools. The results of this research revealed that several factors could affect the adoption decision of PPM software in organizations. These results provide several theoretical and practical implications, and thus should help both researchers and practitioners in the deployment of more user-accepted PPM software and practices.

Purpose Big data analytics (BDA) is recognized as a turning point for firms to improve their performance. Although small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are crucial for every economy, they are lagging far behind in the usage of BDA. This study aims to provide a single and unified model for the adoption of BDA among SMEs with the integration of the technology–organization–environment (TOE) model and resource-based view. Design/methodology/approach A survey of 112 manufacturing SMEs in Iran was conducted, and the data were analysed using structural equation modelling to test the model of this study. Findings The results offer evidence of a BDA mediation effect in the relationship between technological, organizational and environmental contexts, and SMEs performance. The findings also demonstrated that technological and organizational elements are the more significant determinants of BDA adoption in the context of SMEs. In addition, the result of this study confirmed that BDA adoption could enhance the financial and market performance of SMEs. Practical implications Providing a single unified framework of BDA adoption for SMEs enables them to appreciate the importance of most influential elements (technology, organization and environment) in the adoption of BDA. Also, this study may encourage SMEs to be more willing to use BDA in their businesses. Originality/value Although there are studies on BDA adoption and firm performance among large companies, there is a lack of empirical research on SMEs, in particular, based on the TOE model. SMEs differ from large companies in terms of the availability of resources and size. Therefore, this study aimed to initiate a conceptual framework of BDA adoption for SMEs to assist them to be able to take advantage of the adoption of such technology.

This study examines the factors that influence decision-makers to adopt e-marketing in small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Jordan. There is currently no comprehensive conceptual framework that explains e-marketing adoption in SMEs. Therefore, this study develops a conceptual framework based on the diffusion of innovation (DOI) and technology-organization-environment (TOE) theories. The conceptual framework is composed of four contexts: technological, organizational, managerial, and environmental, and hypothesizes eleven factors significantly influencing e-marketing adoption in SMEs. A self-administrated questionnaire survey was conducted with 362 SMEs in Jordan. Logistic regression was used to test the relevant hypotheses. The obtained results show that relative advantages, complexity, IT expertise, top management support, manager's IT knowledge and external pressure have a significant impact on e-marketing adoption. However, compatibility, cost, firm size, manager innovativeness, and government support do not show any association with e-marketing adoption.

In recent times, organizations are increasingly adopting blockchain technology in their supply chains due to various advantages such as cost optimization, effective and verified record-keeping, transparency, and route tracking. This paper aims to examine the factors influencing the intention of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in India to adopt blockchain technology in their supply chains. A questionnaire-based survey was used to collect data from 216 SMEs in the northern states of India. The study has considered an integrated technology adoption framework consisting of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), Diffusion of Innovation (DOI), and Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE). Using this integrated TAM-TOE-DOI framework, the study has proposed eleven hypotheses related to factors of blockchain technology adoption. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and structural equation modeling (SEM) have been used to test the hypotheses. The results show that relative advantage, technology compatibility, technology readiness, top management support, perceived usefulness, and vendor support have a positive influence on the intention of Indian SMEs to adopt blockchain technology in their supply chains. The complexity of technology and cost concerns act as inhibitors to the technology adoption by SMEs. Furthermore, the three factors, namely, security concerns, perceived ease of use, and regulatory support, do not influence the intention to adopt the technology. The study contributes to filling a significant gap in the academic literature since only a few studies have endeavored to ascertain the technology adoption factors by supply chains of SMEs in a developing country like India. The study has also proposed a novel integrated technology adoption framework that can be employed by future studies. The findings are expected to enable SMEs to understand important factors to be considered for adopting blockchain technology in their supply chains. Furthermore, the study may benefit the blockchain technology developers and suppliers as they can offer customized solutions based on the findings.

Full textAbstract:
This research aims to study intentions to switch toward cloud computing at firms' level. As a new way to deploy information technologies (IT) within firms, switching toward cloud computing remains a hard decision that depends on several contextual factors. While several studies have focused mainly on technological aspects, this research adopts a multidimensional perspective by combining the Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) framework with a two-factor theory perspective. Doing so, the authors attempt to propose a research model that can be useful to deeply understand how firms perform when thinking about switching toward cloud-based solutions. A multiple-case study within five Tunisian firms has been conducted to contextualize the research model and give it more explanation power. The Tunisian context should be interesting, as cloud computing adoption is a new topic that is not sufficiently studied in developing countries, particularly in those characterized by an economy in transition. Data have been collected by semi-structured interviews and coded using the Nvivo software. The analysis of interviews content shows that the expected switching benefits and risks play a mediating role between TOE factors and intentions to switch toward cloud computing. Indeed, the authors found some different results within cases revealing the dual effects of technology, organization, and environment factors on intentions by generating different expected switching benefits and risks. In light of these results, some recommendations are proposed to decision makers in this area.
