Mobile commerce is an emerging trend with the potential to generate new streams of revenue for many established organizations. The paper invokes an exploratory qualitative study into mobile commerce adoption practice in Saudi banks and telecoms with a view to pave the way to the eventual generalization of the finding across Saudi organizations. Organizations in both sectors were approached and interviews carried out with key individuals in order to establish emergent themes believed to be related to the adoption of mobile commerce. The findings revealed that themes related to policy and legal environment, information and communication technology infrastructure, and security, affect organizational mobile commerce adoption in Saudi organizations significantly. Overall 15 adoption themes were identified and organized into three categories namely, environmental/organizational, technological, and miscellaneous factors to form a preliminary conceptual mobile Commerce adoption model.

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.

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.

Personalized medicine (PM) approaches have revolutionized healthcare delivery by offering new insights that enable healthcare providers to select the optimal treatment approach for their patients. However, despite the consensus that these approaches have significant value, implementation across the US is highly variable. In order to address barriers to widespread PM adoption, a comprehensive and methodical approach to assessing the current level of PM integration within a given organization and the broader healthcare system is needed. A quantitative framework encompassing a multifactorial approach to assessing PM adoption has been developed and used to generate a rating of PM integration in 153 organizations across the US. The results suggest significant heterogeneity in adoption levels but also some consistent themes in what defines a high-performing organization, including the sophistication of data collected, data sharing practices, and the level of internal funding committed to supporting PM initiatives. A longitudinal approach to data collection will be valuable to track continued progress and adapt to new challenges and barriers to PM adoption as they arise.

AbstractThis study provides empirical evidence to the body of knowledge in Agile methods adoption in small, medium and large organizations in international context. This research explores the factors involved in the adoption of Agile methods in software development organizations. A survey was conducted among Agile professionals to gather survey data from 52 software organizations in seven countries across the world. Statistical techniques are applied towards empirical assessment. Organizational culture, team structure and management support are found to be crucial success factors whereas lack of management support, a large organization size and traditional organizational culture are found to be detrimental for the adoption of Agile approach in an organization. The selection of an appropriate Agile method depends on the project size and, for each size, there are specific methods preferred by different enterprises. Providing better control over the work is viewed as the primary advantage of the Agile methods within large and small organizations, while for the medium-size organizations, the priority is switched to coping with changing user requirements. Majority of the respondents did not consider embracing agile methods as a reason for project failure which indicates that Agile methods are, indeed, beneficial.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to identify the strengths and areas of improvement for taking organizations one step ahead in terms of adopting digitalization, analytics and governance. Also, the paper aims to identify the organizational cultural traits that influence the adoption of digitization and technology, analytics and governance. Design/methodology/approach A quantitative analysis of survey questionnaire collected from working professionals of various manufacturing industries to find out the driving traits and the restraining traits and to propose which is dominating. Sector: manufacturing, sample: working professionals across functions and sample size: 80–100 people. Findings This research suggests the cultural traits that influence the adoption of digitization and technology, analytics and governance in any organization. Practical implications As organizations explore new ways of working, their organizational culture and employee perspective would play an important role in prioritizing the interventions. This research aims to suggest a strategy to strengthen the driving forces and/or weaken the restraining forces. Originality/value There are various papers available on the individual topics but the uniqueness of this paper is that it represents all three factors in a single research and their influencers.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper was to develop a taxonomy of organizations based on business value (BV) underlying electronic human resource management (e-HRM) adoption motivations.Design/methodology/approachA taxonomy was developed using cluster analysis of the online case stories of 146 firms. Results were validated using discriminant analysis. Differences in organization and environmental characteristics across clusters were examined.FindingsSeven meaningful and distinct clusters were uncovered showing asymmetry in the consideration of strategic BV underlying the motivations of e-HRM adoption. Statistical tests revealed that the seven clusters have high internal validity. Statistically significant differences in organizational conditions were found among clusters.Research limitations/implicationsThis research offers an empirically and conceptually grounded taxonomy of organizations that reveals strategic and nonstrategic BV that organizations actually put forward and the way they combine together to form different profiles. This research is based on secondary data, that is, data initially gathered for a distinct goal different from this research.Practical implicationsThe developed taxonomy provides human resource (HR) managers, executives, researchers and consultants a useful way to describe and understand motivations underlying e-HRM adoption. The taxonomy may also facilitate valid and systematic assessment of e-HRM effectiveness.Originality/valueThis research moves the debate beyond normative arguments to a more analytic assessment of the actual practice of organizations regarding e-HRM adoption and expected BV.

The aim of this paper is to explore the critical BIM adoption drivers across the Ethiopian public infrastructure construction sector. In this regard, a comprehensive systematic literature review was employed to identify potential BIM implementation attributes in developing countries and validated through a pilot test. Then, quantitative data was collected from experts working in various organizations using a structured questionnaire survey. A structural equation model was then developed based on five key BIM adoption constructs and 14 adoption drivers. Based on the path analysis, Application, Environment, and Project related factors positively affect BIM adoption in infrastructure projects, whereas Organization and Information Management are insignificant and negatively affect BIM adoption in the Ethiopian construction industry. The study highlighted key BIM adoption attributes that are helpful to enhance the overall project management performance in infrastructure projects. The proposed action plan is beneficial to various professionals, government, and stakeholders in an effort to improve the current level of BIM uptake in the horn of Africa. More so, the findings of this paper can be used to facilitate and promote BIM adoption in public infrastructure construction projects across the Ethiopian construction market.

Purpose – This article aims to report on original empirical research on the comprehensive corporate social responsibility (CSR) standards International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 26000 and the CSR Performance Ladder and identifies determinants for the adoption of CSR standards. In addition, it reviews and adds to literature on CSR standards adoption. Design/methodology/approach – The empirical data were derived from interviews with CSR experts in The Netherlands. Findings – The findings of our research show that the demands and wishes of customers, the attitude of a company’s management, the market position of the standard-developing organization and several tangible and intangible characteristics of the standard itself are particularly relevant for the adoption of CSR standards. Research limitations/implications – The article aimed at reaching analytical generalization instead of statistical generalization and was focused on The Netherlands. Differences across industries and sectors were not taken into account in this exploratory study. Having said this, we still think the article provides valuable insights. Practical implications – Our research identifies “buttons” for policymakers trying to stimulate business to engage with CSR. It may help predict which CSR standards may surface as dominant and can also be used to inform the design and development of new CSR standards. Finally, it may also serve as input for (marketing) strategies by standardization organizations worldwide and other organizations that have taken CSR standardization initiatives as well as non-governmental organizations and even consultancies to spur the adoption of CSR standards as a means of CSR implementation. Originality/value – The article presents original empirical material on CSR standards adoption and contributes to the literature on this topic with insights on determinants’ CSR standards adoption.

The COVID-19 pandemic has hit organizations and employees in every sector worldwide in unprecedented ways. It became extremely difficult for organizations and employees across sectors to operate under increased mobility restrictions. The pandemic effectively disrupted previous operational models and imbued changes such as telework and digital adoption that are pervasive and may potentially last beyond the pandemic. Amid these circumstances, it was essential to ask how organizations and employees will sustain themselves in the post-COVID-19 ”new normal”. Although so much research is conducted about COVID-19, there is no comprehensive view of the changes at the meso (organizational) and micro (individual) levels. This article aims to explain this using the emergency-learning-institutionalization-new normal (ELIN) framework, which is based on the timeline of the pandemic. The article aims to bring forth the overall trends in how organizations and employees are adapting to the pandemic, the lessons they have learned, and how they will change and adapt in a post-COVID-19 “new normal”. We have analyzed existing policy papers, articles published in business, public administration, nonprofit journals, and other studies to achieve this. We find an increasing trend towards the adoption of telework and digital tools at both meso- and micro-levels. The effective implementation of telework policies and digital transformation plans at the meso-level will ensure the sustainability of organizations and jobs in the new normal. Although these trends vary across sectors and within and across countries, there is an overall increase in the flexibility of organizations and employees in adopting new solutions, making them more open to innovation. The article makes important recommendations for organizations to make these transitions more sustainable in the medium and long term.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to report the results of a study that investigated the barriers and facilitators associated with the adoption of a hazard analysis critical control point based food safety management system (HACCP FSMS) in dairy processing companies of Armenia. Design/methodology/approach A cross-sectional qualitative research design was employed to examine managerial experience and perceptions of barriers and drivers to organizational adoption of HACCP FSMS procedures. The data were collected in 20 food processing facilities in the dairy industry through individual in-depth interviews with their representatives and in governmental and non-governmental organizations through focus group discussions with 23 policy makers and food safety consultants. Diffusion of innovations theory provided a framework for systematic exploration of the phenomenon under study. Findings Most frequently reported drivers of adoption included enhanced traceability, increased export opportunities, improved organizational image, and broader accountability. Major impeding factors, such as high investment costs, value incompatibility, excessive documentation, inadequate physical and technological infrastructures, and low observability led to less favorable attitudes toward the organizational change needed for HACCP FSMS adoption. The results indicate that larger organizations with well-developed infrastructures and skilled workforce have an advantage over smaller organizations in the process of adoption. Originality/value This study provides a comprehensive theory-based analysis of perceived determinants of organization-wide adoption of HACCP-based system in Armenia. The results of the study support and extend the findings of earlier research and provide new insights into HACCP FSMS adoption across different contexts.

The architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry has often been accused of being slow to adopt change. Yet the breadth of available technology solutions in the modern AEC industry continues to grow. Companies therefore must be adept at organizational change management; otherwise, the full benefits of technology solutions may never be realized when a company fails to achieve successful change adoption. The objective of this study was to identify the relationships between specific change management practices and organizational adoption of new technology solutions. An industry-wide approach was taken, wherein an online survey methodology was used to collect 167 cases of organization-wide change from AEC firms across the United States and Canada. The method of analysis included a correlation analysis between change management practices and change adoption. Reliability testing and principal components analysis were used to extract a single construct measure of change adoption. Rank-based nonparametric testing investigated if there are statistically significant differences between different groups of participants and technologies. Results include a rank-order of specific change management practices most associated with successful technology adoption. Change-agent effectiveness, measured benchmarks, realistic timeframe, and communicated benefits are the four change management practices that had the strongest association strength with successful change adoption. The discussion addresses how these leading change management practices compare with previous literature. Also, it was found that organization type and job position were correlated with the levels of change-adoption success compared to other listed factors. This study contributes an industry-wide view of change management practices within the context of technology-based change adoption and may assist practitioners to better manage technology adoptions in their organizations.

Abstract African Americans remain underrepresented in accessing and utilizing evidenced-based health promotion interventions (EBIs). Challenges with dissemination and implementation of EBIs further corroborate existing racial/ethnic health/healthcare disparities. Therefore, there is a need to identify effective ways to increase the widespread adoption of health promotion behaviors among African Americans across the life course. It is plausible that engaging in non-traditional partnerships (i.e., community groups or organizations valued in the community with the capacity and infrastructure) could result in greater adoption and improved utilization of EBIs among African Americans. Although frequently overlooked as a study variable in empirically sound public health research, Black Greek Letter Organizations (BGLO) could be an innovative and practical approach to advancing health in the African American community. It is necessary to gain preliminary evidence of feasibility (e.g., motivation, target population reach, acceptability, ). Therefore, the purpose of this study was to conduct a content analysis to identify the intentions and communication trends of BGLOs as it pertains to public health and the African American community and assess population reach and perceptions by evaluating responses to communication specific to health promotion.We assessed health promotion patterns of four BGLOs in a ten-county metropolitan area. Coded content included communication via the organization’s webpage, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, and LinkedIn from a five-year time period. Findings confirm that BLGOs are invested in the health and well-being of the community, place emphasis on mitigating health inequities, and are uniquely positioned to serve as stakeholders for the translation of EBIs to end-users.

As organizations become larger it becomes increasingly difficult to share lessons-learned across their disconnected units allowing individuals to learn vicariously from each other's experiences. This lesson-learned information is often unsolicited by the recipient group or individual and required an individual or group to react to the information to yield benefits for the organization. Data was collected using 39 interviews and 582 survey responses that proved the effects of information usefulness, related human intermediary activities, and an individual's perceived discretion have on the review and subsequent adoption of unsolicited lessons-learned information.

The research aims to explore the strength of enablers, and adoption barriers present in omnichannel retailing (OCR), and discuss how organizations may focus to redesign their business models in emerging markets to manage the disruptive environment. The prominent enablers may enhance the omnichannel’ performance to deliver a unified experience across all channels during the pandemic time. The paper has used hybrid Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) Methods. These methods are widely used by organizations for the exploration of the interrelationship among barriers and enablers affecting their performance. In the current study, 18 experts from different domains have examined and evaluated the 10 barriers and 7 enablers. The study reveals that integration, visibility, internet accessibility, and advanced distribution centers are the prominent enablers and driving the customer analytics enabler to strengthen their customer engagement and providing a unified experience to the. During the pandemic time the usage of the online channels have increased and thus retail channels may consider these enablers to enhance the unified experience level of the customers. The study also shows that inconsistency in price is the main adoption barrier followed by inconsistency in product discounts that should be minimized to engage customers effectively. The retail organizations need to understand the roadblocks in the adoption of OCR and should take relevant actions to minimize them. The retail organization or marketers may redesign their existing strategies based on price consistency, integration, visibility, information systems, and coordination to develop a unified experience across channels during the pandemic situation.

Purpose Executives surveyed by the IBM Institute for Business Value indicated that they are dramatically accelerating their company’s digital transformation during the pandemic. And fully two-thirds said that the pandemic has allowed them to advance specific transformation initiatives that previously had encountered resistance. Design/methodology/approach To better guide others seeking to make the transformation, the researchers looked at which technologies make a difference between high performing and struggling businesses in this period of extraordinary change and challenges. Findings The “technology mix” recipe for success is changing. Increasingly, cloud and AI are becoming performance differentiators. Not only does technology adoption vary greatly across industries, but the relationship between technology adoption and financial performance varied significantly among industries. Practical implications Cloud has become a more important contributor to revenue performance during the pandemic in 11 of the industries analyzed Originality/value Tech-savvy organizations outperformed their peers in revenue growth across the 12 industries where technology acted as a performance differentiator.

This study applied an adoption model, inspired by the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and Multipurpose Information Appliances Adoption Model (MIAAM), to compare key variables explaining adoption patterns of a mobile coaching app that guides and encourages students via a technology-based platform. This article constitutes a pioneer effort to compare adoption behaviors across a developed country and an emerging country (France and Mexico) with differences in level of use of mobile apps. A multi-group structural equation modelling approach was used to test the causal structure of the conceptual model. Results confirmed significant differences and similarities across samples and identified critical factors. Perceived usefulness was found to be the most important driver with mediating effects. Organizations implementing coaching services with an improved perceived usefulness could boost their adoption rates.

Purpose This paper aims to investigate the extent to which newly agile organizations followed 2001’s Agile Manifesto, especially in terms of the 12 principles of the agile approach, as included in the Manifesto. Design/methodology/approach The authors conducted in-depth case studies of groups in three large business organizations that had recently adopted agile. Two researchers spent one day at each site, attending daily standups and conducting interviews with managers, developers and customers. Findings Across the three organizations, developers were faithful to two agile principles: the primacy of delivering valuable software continually and regular reflections on the process with an eye toward improvement. The developers were uniformly unfaithful to the principle that requires face-to-face communication. Each organization varied in their adherence to the remaining nine principles. Obstacles to faithful adoption included the experience of the organization with agile, the extent to which the industry was regulated and the extent to which developers and customers were physically dispersed. Originality/value While past research on agile development is extensive, this paper examines perspectives on the method and its adoption through the lens of the original Agile Manifesto and its 12 principles. The principles were grouped into three broader categories – software delivery, people and process – to provide additional insights and to sharpen the analysis.

Introduction Clinical settings are being encouraged to identify and address patients’ social needs within the clinic or through partner organizations. The purpose of this qualitative study was to describe the current practice of social needs-targeted care in 3 Texas safety net clinics, and facilitators and barriers to adopting new social needs-targeted care tools and practices. Methods Interviews were conducted with staff at 3 safety net clinics serving small and mid-sized communities. Analysis focused on perspectives and decisions around adopting new tools or practices related to social needs-targeted care, including standardized screening tools and community resource referral platforms. Results Nine staff across 3 organizations were interviewed. Two organizations were currently using a standard social needs screening tool in their routine practice, and a third was considering doing so. One organization had adopted a community resource referral platform in partnership with a large community collaboration. Three case studies illustrate a range of facilitators, barriers, perceived benefits, and drawbacks influencing social needs-targeted practices. Benefits of systematic data collection on social needs included the generation of data for community action. Drawbacks include concerns about data privacy. Community resource referral platforms were seen as valuable for creating accountability, but required an influential community partner and adequate community resources. Concerns about disempowering clients and blurring roles were voiced, and potential to increase provider job satisfaction was identified. Conclusions Benefits and drawbacks of adopting new tools and practices related to social needs-targeted care are strongly influenced by the community context. For the adoption of community resource referral platforms, the outer setting is particularly relevant; adoption readiness is best assessed at the community or regional level rather than the clinic system level. While screening tools are much easier than referral platforms for clinics to adopt, the ability to address identified needs remains heavily based on the outer setting.

Studies on the adoption of innovations often treat an organization as a uniform entity. Such studies implicitly assume that perceptions regarding the adoption of an innovation are identical across the organization. However, organizational theory and change management literature argue that organizations are composed of distinct groups that have different values and goals. It is therefore important to dissect the organization and to look at the various internal stakeholders involved. In this study, we follow this advice and study how two key organizational groups (city managers and Works Council members) perceive their organization’s members’ views regarding the specific innovation of teleworking. We use unique data collected through two nationwide surveys of city managers and Works Council members. The results show that there are crucial differences in the perceptions of the two groups, with city managers generally being more positive about the innovation. Based on our analysis, we conclude that it is important to distinguish between different organizational stakeholders in the innovation adoption process and that managers should be aware of a bias in their perceptions. Points for practitioners It is important to distinguish between the various organizational stakeholders in the innovation adoption process because they probably have different attitudes regarding an innovation. Managers should look beyond their own perceptions regarding an innovation and be aware that they are probably more positive in their perceptions than are others in their organization. More specifically, we found that Works Council members attach more importance to the ability to try out innovations before their full introduction than city managers. It is also more important for them that an innovation seems easy to implement and use.

Most explanations for the creation of new state institutions locate the cause of change in the conditions or characteristics of the states themselves. Some aspect of a state's economic, social, political, or military situation is said to create a functional need for the new bureaucracy which then is taken up by one or more domestic groups who succeed in changing the state apparatus. However, changes in state structure may be prompted not only by changing conditions of individual states but also by socialization and conformance with international norms. In the case of one organizational innovation recently adopted by states across the international system, namely, science policy bureaucracies, indicators of state conditions and functional need for these entities are not correlated with the pattern for their adoption. Instead, adoption was prompted by the activities of an international organization which “taught” states the value of science policy organizations and established the coordination of science as an appropriate, and even a necessary, role for states. This finding lends support to constructivist or reflective theories that treat states as social entities shaped by international social action, as opposed to more conventional treatments of states as autonomous international agents.

The goal of this study is to determine how the socioeconomic environment affects the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) and technology in Chinese IT organizations while taking into account the mediating effects of employee teamwork and technological innovation. There are 350 employees from different Chinese IT organizations are surveyed online as part of the research's cross-sectional methodology. The study proposes that the adoption of AI and technology is greatly influenced by the socioeconomic situation. It also suggests that the relationship between the socioeconomic environment and the adoption of AI and technology is mediated through employee team collaboration. The relationship between employee team collaboration, AI adoption, and technological innovation is also anticipated to be moderated by technological innovation. The researchers use SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) to analyse the data. Descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, mediation analysis, and moderation analysis are some of the statistical approaches used. The findings will offer useful information about how the socioeconomic setting, employee teamwork, and technological advancement affect the adoption of AI and technology across Chinese IT organizations. By presenting actual data on the interactions between the socioeconomic environment, employee collaboration, technological innovation, and the adoption of AI and technology, this study adds to the body of existing work. Organizations will be able to better integrate AI by using the findings to better understand the factors driving technology adoption. The study can help policymakers by providing them with information on the socioeconomic aspects that encourage the use of AI and technology in the IT industry.

Knowledge is a substantial factor in an organization, therefore successful implementation of Knowledge Management (KM) or Knowledge Management System (KMS) is important thing for many organizations. This applies for both for large companies, as well as for companies categorized as Small Medium Enterprise (SME). How each companies find solution to deal with KM problems, how to adopt KMS in their company’s structure, and what the Critical Success Factors (CSF) need to be highlighted to implement those KMS often vary depending on the size of the organization. Regarding to this issue, this study is aimed to find out how the adoption approach and CSF in the implementation of KM / KMS in SME. On the other hand, this study also can improve the state-of-the-art for KM / KMS implementation in SME and the important CSF in implementing it. A systematic review was performed in this literature review, with the steps as follows: (1) structure the research question, (2) define inclusion-exclusion criteria, (3) paper quality assessment, and (4) data extraction. The study found that in the last 5 years from the time when this research is conducted, TABLE 1which is from 2016 to 2021, SME has been using many methods like training, meeting, sharing session, repository, and research as a part of their KM / KMS adoption approach. We found also in the last 5 years the CSF for implementing KM / KMS in SME are as follows: organization structure and flexibility, organization culture towards KM adoption, the quality of the knowledge, and communication within and across areas in the organization. communication within and across areas of the organization, and team works within and across areas in the organization. SME can use this research as guideline for implementing KM / KMS in their organization.

The study aims to examine factors that influence the adoption-diffusion process of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM) across manufacturing, wholesale trade, retail trade, and transportation industries in India. As part of this study, eleven constructs that influence the adoption-diffusion stages of AI in SCRM were identified and examined. A survey was conducted to collect data from supply chain executives, risk professionals, and AI consultants across the manufacturing, wholesale trade, retail trade, and transportation industries in India. Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was used to study the data. Results show that these factors have varying degrees of influence and direction on the three stages of adoption of AI in SCRM. The study will enable the leadership team in the organizations to build a roadmap for the adoption, implementation, and routinization of AI in SCRM.

The present study aims to validate the current best-practice model of implementation effectiveness in small and mid-size businesses. Data from 135 organizations largely confirm the original model across various types of innovation. In addition, we extended this work by highlighting the importance of human resources in implementation effectiveness and the consequences of innovation effectiveness on future adoption attitudes. We found that the availability of skilled employees was positively related to implementation effectiveness. Furthermore, organizations that perceived a high level of benefits from implemented innovations were likely to have a positive attitude towards future innovation adoption. The implications of our improvements to the original model of implementation effectiveness are discussed.

The expenses in the sustenance of IT investments has become a major ledger item in businesses to the extent that in some cases business priorities had to be changed for sustaining IT systems. Cloud computing, a disruptive technology, is changing the sustenance model with on-demand and metered service approach. However, the adoption of this technology has not been consistent across sectors due to fear on loss of control and changes required in application development and deployment. Authors propose KIET (Knowing, Initiating, Evolving and Transforming) framework based on diffusion theory for adoption of cloud computing in organizations that have strong regulatory framework. Authors implemented the proposed framework on the Indian Banking sector, with majority of the banks being in the public sector. After the implementation of the framework, 49.4% of the banks have adopted cloud computing and another 27.8% of the banks have started the initial steps for adoption.

Pervasive overuse and degradation of common pool resources (CPRs) is a global concern. To sustainably manage CPRs, effective governance institutions are essential. A large literature has developed to describe the institutional design features employed by communities that successfully manage their CPRs. Yet, these designs remain far from universally adopted. We focus on one prominent institutional design feature, community monitoring, and ask whether nongovernmental organizations or governments can facilitate its adoption and whether adoption of monitoring affects CPR use. To answer these questions, we implemented randomized controlled trials in six countries. The harmonized trials randomly assigned the introduction of community monitoring to 400 communities, with data collection in an additional 347 control communities. Most of the 400 communities adopted regular monitoring practices over the course of a year. In a meta-analysis of the experimental results from the six sites, we find that the community monitoring reduced CPR use and increased user satisfaction and knowledge by modest amounts. Our findings demonstrate that community monitoring can improve CPR management in disparate contexts, even when monitoring is externally initiated rather than homegrown. These findings provide guidance for the design of future programs and policies intended to develop monitoring capabilities in communities. Furthermore, our harmonized, multisite trial provides sustainability science with a new way to study the complexity of socioecological systems and builds generalizable insights about how to improve CPR management.

This paper aims to develop a systematic exploration of the literature investigating the factors that influence the adoption of the knowledge management system (KMS) in organizations as well as identifying the intercepting factors between different types of organizations such as small-medium enterprises (SMEs), large corporation and government organizations. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) is used to structure the research field. The proposed research used filtering scientific papers published in Emerald Insight and Scopus from 2018 to 2022. This paper presents empirical evidence from six articles that identify intercepting factors between small-medium enterprises, large corporations, and government organizations. Among the factors analyzed, only IT capabilities were found to be common across all three types of organizations. The findings and analysis section includes a Venn diagram that illustrates other relevant factors that intercept between the organizations. The accumulation of reviewed research papers is necessary for academia and organizations to analyze the factors influencing the adoption of KMS. This study also will assist in providing information that will offer insights to organizations, particularly those in the small and medium enterprises (SME), large enterprises and government, in the process of implementing knowledge management.

Emerging technologies such as electronic procurement have rapidly become common practice in recent years. With the advent of internet technologies and open innovations, the traditional procurement system is transformed into an electronic procurement system. Technology adoption is influenced by multiple factors, including the adopter, technology, and ecosystem in which they function. Considering this, E-procurement is still being adopted slowly. This research aims to investigate the extension of the adoption of E-procurement and identify the relationships between the E-procurement technologies and green procurement practices across different sectors of ISO 14001-certified Malaysian enterprises. This research is supported by the Technology Acceptance Model, one of the significant theories of technology adoption. Using SPSS and SmartPLS, the survey data is analyzed quantitatively. The structural model explains 86% of the variance in green procurement and shows the positive significant relationship between green procurement and the E-procurement technology of the ISO 14001 firms. Consequently, adopting E-procurement technology would benefit company sustainability. A benchmark for ISO companies will be established, highlighting the importance of E-procurement technology in improving green procurement and supply chain efficiency. The study recommends that demand for environmentally friendly products and services be fueled by technology-based purchases, resulting in a greener supply chain.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the adoption of practices and investigating of commonalities/intensities between the factors for measuring organizational effectiveness (OE) across healthcare supply chains in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Design/methodology/approach System theory coupled with the Supplier-Input-Process-Output-Customer tool was applied to facilitate the linkage between different nodes of the healthcare chain. An exploratory approach was used to explore and measure the importance of various OE factors across various nodes of the healthcare supply chain. Data were collected using a two-stage questionnaire process addressed at personnel in the UAE’s healthcare sector. Findings The study identified that 62 OE factors in the health are supply chain. Of these, 15 are related to suppliers, 14 to the healthcare process, 12 to employees, 8 to patients and the community, 6 to government directives and 7 to branding. In total, 21 common factors were identified and clustered into groups based on commonalities and intensities. Research limitations/implications The study identifies the most important factors for healthcare organizations to achieve OE for different dimensions of operations or performance. These factors will provide valuable insights for decision makers in the sector; it will provide valuable insights to healthcare professionals and academia to investigate more on these factors. Originality/value While there is an increasing research interest in healthcare supply chains, this is the first study to investigate OE across the entire chain while also evaluating the importance of and commonalities in OE-enabling factors.

Abstract Objective The Safety Assurance Factors for EHR Resilience (SAFER) guides were released in 2014 to help health systems conduct proactive risk assessment of electronic health record (EHR)- safety related policies, processes, procedures, and configurations. The extent to which SAFER recommendations are followed is unknown. Methods We conducted risk assessments of 8 organizations of varying size, complexity, EHR, and EHR adoption maturity. Each organization self-assessed adherence to all 140 unique SAFER recommendations contained within 9 guides (range 10–29 recommendations per guide). In each guide, recommendations were organized into 3 broad domains: “safe health IT” (total 45 recommendations); “using health IT safely” (total 80 recommendations); and “monitoring health IT” (total 15 recommendations). Results The 8 sites fully implemented 25 of 140 (18%) SAFER recommendations. Mean number of “fully implemented” recommendations per guide ranged from 94% (System Interfaces—18 recommendations) to 63% (Clinical Communication—12 recommendations). Adherence was higher for “safe health IT” domain (82.1%) vs “using health IT safely” (72.5%) and “monitoring health IT” (67.3%). Conclusions Despite availability of recommendations on how to improve use of EHRs, most recommendations were not fully implemented. New national policy initiatives are needed to stimulate implementation of these best practices.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the social process of Big Data and predictive analytics (BDPA) use for logistics and supply chain management (LSCM), focusing on interactions among technology, human behavior and organizational context that occur at the technology’s post-adoption phases in retail supply chain (RSC) organizations. Design/methodology/approach The authors follow a grounded theory approach for theory building based on interviews with senior managers of 15 organizations positioned across multiple echelons in the RSC. Findings Findings reveal how user involvement shapes BDPA to fit organizational structures and how changes made to the technology retroactively affect its design and institutional properties. Findings also reveal previously unreported aspects of BDPA use for LSCM. These include the presence of temporal and spatial discontinuities in the technology use across RSC organizations. Practical implications This study unveils that it is impossible to design a BDPA technology ready for immediate use. The emergent process framework shows that institutional and social factors require BDPA use specific to the organization, as the technology comes to reflect the properties of the organization and the wider social environment for which its designers originally intended. BDPA is, thus, not easily transferrable among collaborating RSC organizations and requires managerial attention to the institutional context within which its usage takes place. Originality/value The literature describes why organizations will use BDPA but fails to provide adequate insight into how BDPA use occurs. The authors address the “how” and bring a social perspective into a technology-centric area.

Child adoption in Nigeria is still an evolving process .The enactment of the Child's Right Act in Nigeria has legalized child adoption. The Objective of this study include to access the perception of child adoption in Nigeria; to determine the challenges of child adoption in Nigeria, and to investigate the prospects of child adoption in Nigeria. The method used was to explore secondary data, policy documents, existing studies and reviews from scholars, local and international organizations. Perception of child adoption slightly vary across the country, with most Nigerian having fair knowledge of the term “child adoption” which does not translate into its practice .It was also shown that infertility is the main factor that has influenced the rate of willingness and acceptability of child adoption in Nigeria. However, the ideology that biological ties are fundamental to family relations is associated with several stigmatizing beliefs about adoption, which may cause both the adoptee and the adoptive parents to feel socially marginalized and devalued. Just like other part of the world, child adoption in Nigeria is faced with several challenges ranging from stigmatization, unknown parental background, possible inherited or genetic diseases, psychological and religious beliefs, poverty, establishment of illegal adoption and orphanage homes, future claim by the biological parents, disloyalty or abandonment of adoptive parents the child when the child learns that he or she was adopted. The future prospects of child adoption lie in Nigerians taking seriously the principles and standards enunciated in the international adoption law of Nigeria that the best interest of children (which include their survival, development, protection and participation) should be the guiding principle in the whole adoption process. In conclusion , the perception, challenges and prospects of child adoption reviewed in this study shows child adoption in Nigeria is still evolving and requires the government, churches, other religious bodies, NGOs, individuals and the public at large to join hands in welcoming and implementing the right practices of child adoption, as well as ‘Child's Right Laws' .

Background: Moving interventions (i.e., new knowledge, tools, and technologies) into clinical practice are often lengthy and challenging processes, even when they are strongly supported by research evidence. Conversely, organizations and providers sometimes adopt interventions in the absence of strong research evidence. Understanding decision-making around the adoption of new interventions is paramount to developing more effective strategies to facilitate the use of evidence-based interventions in practice. Aim: To illuminate the decision-making processes involved in the adoption of patient-centered interventions by cancer care teams, including how research evidence is considered, and identify additional factors influencing these decisions. We focused on two interventions (survivorship care plans [SCPs] and patient decision aids [PtDAs]) due to their differing levels of research evidence and real-world adoption: SCPs = low evidence; high adoption; PtDAs = high evidence; low adoption. Methods: Guided by the principles of grounded theory, we conducted semistructured interviews with clinicians, managers, and administrators of cancer care programs across Canada (n=21). Data were collected and analyzed concurrently, using a constant comparative approach. Data collection ended upon reaching theoretical saturation. Results: Participants emphasized that high-quality research evidence is often unnecessary when making adoption decisions around interventions that are intuitively “good ideas.” Six key factors contributed to adoption/nonadoption decisions around SCPs and PtDAs: 1) alignment (or misalignment) of research evidence with clinical experiences, patient experiences/preferences, and local data; 2) perceived benefit to clinicians themselves; 3) endorsement by respected organizations; 4) existence of local champions; 5) ability to adapt the intervention to local contexts; and 6) ability to routinize the intervention across a large patient population. Conclusion: Many factors influence decisions to adopt patient-centered interventions, including clinicians' experiences and perceived benefits, the existence of organizational and extraorganizational advocates, and ease/reach of implementation.

Adopting change is something that is often resisted, as is often the case in the adoption of electronic health records (EHRs) in healthcare organizations. Embracing this will require computer knowledge to handle the system for the management of patients and their care. This study aims to determine the computer skills required for the uptake of electronic health records (EHR) by healthcare workers in an annex of the state teaching hospital, Okela Health Centre (OHC) Ado-Ekiti. The study uses a cross-sectional research design with a structured questionnaire distributed to 30 healthcare workers across seven disciplines working in the hospital. Descriptive statistics of frequency tables and percentages were used to ascertain the relationship between computer skill usage and the adoption of EHR. The majority of respondents were only efficient in Microsoft Word (MW), email, and WhatsApp, with efficiency rates of 63.4%, 76.6%, and 73.3%, respectively. The majority were not efficient in Microsoft Excel (ME) and Microsoft Access (MA), at 56.7% and 70%, respectively. Computer appreciation is an important basis for the adoption of EHR in hospitals.

Purpose This study aims to explore internet marketing adoption in emerging industrial markets across several internet-based technologies (i.e. social media platforms, static and transactional websites). Design/methodology/approach This study is mainly based on an exploratory research design and investigated the online presence of 570 industrial organizations in terms of their involvement in social media. This study also examines if websites are used for basic marketing communications (brochureware) or for conducting advanced marketing activities. An online survey is used to explore the relationships between several factors and internet marketing adoption. Findings The study found that half of the investigated organizations are using the internet as a one-way communication vehicle through static websites. The study also revealed that decision-makers in emerging industrial markets are enthusiastic about social media, particularly Facebook. In addition, internet marketing adoption was positively related to perceived relative advantage, compatibility, organizational innovativeness, competitor and customer pressure. Practical implications From practitioners’ perspectives, the findings can help decision-makers identify the current levels of involvement in internet marketing. At the macro level, the high percentage of organizations with minimum involvement in internet marketing calls for conducting awareness initiatives to educate industrial organizations, particularly small- and medium-sized enterprises, about the opportunities offered by the internet. Originality/value The findings from this study enrich internet marketing research because it focuses on industrial organizations in emerging markets, which is a rarely examined context despite its importance and potential.

If innovative work practices improve performance, why does the intensity of their adoption vary substantially across establishments? Following a lead suggested by some sociological studies, the authors empirically investigate the role of social networks (ties to other organizations) in the organizational learning associated with diffusion of innovative work practices. Using establishment data on formal affiliation and other network measures, they find that managerial participation in networks—specifically, in industry and cross-industry associations, civic organizations, and the internal networks of multi-unit firms—positively affected both the probability that high-performance work practices and employee training programs would be adopted and, where they were adopted, the intensity of their adoption. Furthermore, multiple affiliations raised the likelihood that an establishment would pursue an intensive approach to work reorganization and training.

Scholarly research works on the adoption of Cloud Computing (CC) have recently emerged with the technology’s importance for organizations at a fast pace. Despite the numerous advantages of CC adoption for financial institutions (FI) in terms of storage cost mitigation, computation higher increase, and information access higher access rates from any place, Banking’s CC adoption executives and practitioners are badly seeking to obtain trustworthy recipes of how to utilize CC adoption frameworks to transform banks operations to cloud. In this vein and based on a systematic literature review (SLR) method, we conducted a review of 370 empirical studies from 2011 to 2021, downsized the studies to 27 directly relevant papers to reveal 14 frameworks, methods, models, or strategies of CC adoption in Banking sectors in 14 countries, and compared the findings across studies in terms of the utilized frameworks, methods, models, or strategies.

Purpose – Organizations worldwide are faced with the challenge of motivating and retaining employees. In addressing this challenge, organizations may use a variety of incentive pay practices to align employee behavior with organizational objectives. The purpose of this paper is to empirically identify the incentive pay practice configurations or bundles adopted by private sector firms across 14 different countries from several geographic regions. The patterns of incentive pay configuration adoption for each country are evaluated. Design/methodology/approach – Cluster analysis, ANOVA, and multilevel random-intercept logistic modeling are utilized on firms from the 2009 CRANET HRM survey. Findings – Phase I of this study empirically identifies four different configurations (contingent rewarder, incentive minimizer, incentive maximizer, and profit rewarder) derived from three incentive pay practices (individual bonus, team bonus, and profit sharing practices) that firms adopt. Phase II evaluates adoption rates by country and finds striking differences in incentive configurations that firms avoid or adopt. Some countries have clear adoption preferences (e.g. Denmark, Sweden, Japan, and France). In other countries firms employ a variety of incentive bundles (e.g. USA, UK, and Germany) and seem to be less constrained by country-based institutional factors. Research limitations/implications – Incentive practices are typically studied independent of the configuration of practices that firms select. This research helps us understand the typical bundles in use. Practical implications – Organizations worldwide are faced with the need to motivate employees. This research maps the incentive bundles preferred in each of 14 countries. Social implications – Employees in different countries come to work with expectations about pay and these shape their perceptions of incentive fairness. Originality/value – Research on incentives has tended to focus independently on specific practices and ignore the reality that organizations generally select multiple practices. This research identifies the combinations of incentive practices generally used and does so with firms from 14 countries from various world regions. These results also offer a map of the incentive bundles preferred in each country.

Purpose The Internet of Things (IoT) is expected to have a huge impact on businesses and, especially, the way we think about supply chain management (SCM). However, there is still a paucity of studies on the impact of IoT adoption on supply chains and on different aspects of the business in general. The purpose of this paper is to examine the perception of the academic community of the impact of the IoT adoption in organizational supply chains with a view to verify potential key benefits and challenges existent in the literature. The research presents the impact on an organization along with the impact across its entire supply chain. Design/methodology/approach Data were collected through the use of an online survey and 87 participants completed the survey. Participants were mainly from the academic community and were university scholars based in different countries located in six continents. Participants were authors, or co-authors, of academic papers published in the Decision Science Institute 2015 and 2016 annual conference proceedings, the 21st International Symposium of Sustainable Transport and Supply Chain Innovations, the Supply Chain Management: An International Journal 2016 issues, and the Operations and Supply Chain Management: An International Journal 2016 issues. Findings The authors were able to confirm the significance of some of the examined potential benefits to individual organizations and their entire supply chains. However, the study identified other potential benefits that were not seen as a direct impact of IoT adoption. Most of the examined potential benefits were found to contribute to a number of critical success factors for implementing successful SCM. The authors were also able to confirm that some of the examined potential challenges were still perceived as key hinders to IoT adoption but examined potential challenges were not seen as hurdles to IoT adoption. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study of its kind. Although some literature attempted to provide an overview about the IoT management, no study has specifically explored potential benefits and challenges related to the adoption of IoT in supply chains and ranked them based on their significance. The results can be beneficial to academic scholars interested in the researched topic, business professionals, organizations within different sectors, and any other party interested in understanding more about the impact of adopting IoT on SCM.

In a highly digitalized world, big data and analytics are among major trends companies worldwide are facing. As companies generate data across different sources (information systems), which is increasing rapidly in volume, variety and velocity, big data analytics becomes essential. Big data is a term that describes the large volume of data (both structured and unstructured), that overwhelms a business on a day-to-day basis. But the importance of big data doesn’t revolve around how much data one organization has, but what organizations do with the data that matters. Big data and analytics, provide organizations with the opportunity to analyze data generated from any source and to find answers that enable cost reductions, time reductions, new product development and optimized offerings, and smart decision making.Big data is affecting companies from different size and in almost every industry, and has the potential not only to transform the business world, but the society as well at large extent. Emerging literature and the empirical evidence suggest that companies from the retail sector can gain competitive advantage from data if they adopt big data analytics technologies. In spite of that, companies in the country are still in the early stages of adoption of big data analytics technologies. Hence, the goal of this paper is to determine factors affecting the big data analytics adoption in selected companies in the Republic of Macedonia from the retail sector. This is a pilot study and as such represents the first attempt to assess the level of big data analytics adoption in the country. This small scale preliminary study will provide evaluation of the feasibility of the key steps of the proposed research model (methodology) in order to conduct future research in larger extent and sample.There have been several theoretical models that explain technology acceptance. The research model in this study is based on Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) framework (Tornatzky & Fleischer, 1990). The TOE framework explains that adoption of technological innovations is influenced by a range of factors in the context of the technology, organization and external environment. The framework explains that these three factors stimulate and influence the technology innovation adoption-decision in companies. It is considered as multi-perspective framework and an integrative model that is developed for studying factors affecting adoption of innovative technologies and has been used to assess organizations’ adoption of big data analytics technologies mostly in telecommunications, e- commerce and other.The proposed research model specifies the following technological characteristics (technical capacity, relative advantage and complexity), intra-organizational factors (top management support, organizational culture, organizational size and IT expertise/ technological competence), and inter-organizational factors (competitive pressure, external support, and regulatory /government policy as well as data security and privacy) as determinants of big data analytics adoption. The preliminary results of this pilot study support the research model and the methodology. The significance of the proposed determinants/factors can help managers formulate their analytics strategies and increase the use of big data technology in order to fulfil organizational goals and achieve better organizational performance.

Based on the theory of reasoned action (TRA) and the diffusion of innovation framework, this study examines the key determinants and outcomes of enterprise resource planning (ERP) adoption. The study specifically investigated the impact of system quality and user training on ERP adoption intention. Further, the impacts of ERP adoption intention and personal innovativeness on ERP adoption were also studied. User satisfaction with ERP and user engagement were considered as the two outcomes of ERP adoption. To achieve these objectives, an online survey was conducted and data was collected from 180 ERP users across multiple industries in India to understand their perception of such matters. Structural equation modeling using the partial least square approach was used to test the proposed hypotheses. The results of SEM analysis supported all the hypotheses under investigation. These results provide relevant evidence that may encourage organizations to understand the key determinants of successful ERP adoption and its significant impacts on user satisfaction with ERP and user engagement.

The emergence of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology has affected the functions and roles of business organizations. RFID technology provides technical solutions across a variety of industries in the public and private sectors. E-government is being increasingly utilized by governments in different countries to increase the efficiency of services provided to citizens. Although the use of e-Government is allowing timely, effective services online, many challenges must still be overcome to maximize the utility e-Government can provide to citizens. RFID is disseminating in a variety of new areas and movement exists toward the adoption of RFID in e-Government, but several issues and challenges must be addressed. This paper examines both e-Government and RFID from an individual perspective and explores the possible issues and challenges associated with RFID technology adoption in e-Government. Based on a review of literature, a conceptual model has been developed illustrating the various issues and challenges and how they would impact the RFID adoption in e-Government.

Fog technology is one of the recent improvements in cloud technology that is designed to reduce some of its drawbacks. Fog technology architecture is often widely distributed to minimize the time required for data processing and enable Internet of Things (IoT) innovations. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the main factors that might influence the adoption of fog technology. This paper offers a combined framework that addresses fog technology adoption based on the technology adoption perspective, which has been comprehensively researched in the information systems discipline. The proposed integrated framework combines the technology acceptance model (TAM) and diffusion of innovation (DOI) theory to develop a holistic perspective on the adoption of fog technology. The factors that might affect the adoption of fog technology are analyzed from the results of an online survey in 43 different organizations across a wide range of industries. These factors are observed based on data collected from 216 participants, including professional IT staff and senior business executives. This analysis was conducted by using structural equation modeling (SEM). The research results identified nine factors with a statistically significant impact on the adoption of fog technology, and these factors included relative advantage, compatibility, awareness, cost-effectiveness, security, infrastructure, ease of use, usefulness, and location. The findings from this research offer insight to organizations looking to implement fog technology to enable IoT and tap into the digital transformation opportunities presented by this new digital economy.

This paper is a theoretical description of workforce diversity (WD), specifically highlighting its significance in a wide array of organizational outcomes. The paper conceptualizes diversity comprising the workforce in terms of similarities and dissimilarities regarding age, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and religion. Workforce diversity was observed as a phenomenon whose adoption transcends the compelling forces of government legislations but remains indispensable as a result of the incontestable complications associated with it. This paper proposes that it is imperative for organizations to recognize and foster an enabling environment that is inclusive and appreciative of individual uniqueness. Such an environment increases employee output and ultimately encourages activeness and peaceful work relations across the organization.

Introduction: Emergency department (ED) return visits are used for quality monitoring. Health information technology (HIT) has historically supported return visit programs in the same hospital or hospital system. The Emergency Department Return Visit Quality Program (EDRVQP) is a novel population level continuous quality improvement (QI) program connecting EDs across Ontario that leverages HIT. We sought to describe the EDRVQP HIT architecture, experience of participants, enabling program factors and barriers. Methods: The Informatics Stack conceptual framework was used to describe the HIT architecture. A literature review of peer-reviewed background literature, and stakeholder organization reports was conducted. Purposive sampling identified key informants. Semi-structured interviews were conducted until saturation. Common themes were identified by inductive qualitative thematic analysis. Results: Twenty-three participants from 15 organizations were interviewed. The EDRVQP architecture description is presented across the Informatics Stack. The levels from most comprehensive to most basic are world, organization, perspectives/roles, goals/functions, workflow/behaviour/adoption, information systems, modules, data/information/knowledge/algorithms, and technology. Enabling factors were a high rate of EHR adoption, provincial legislative mandate for data collection and program membership, use of functional and data standards, local variability, phased deployment, and QI and patient safety culture. Two main barriers were increased case turnaround time and privacy legislation. Conclusion: The Informatics Stack framework provides a robust approach to thoroughly describe the HIT architecture of this population health programs. The EDRVQP is a population health program that illustrates the pragmatic use of continuous QI methodology across a population (provincial) level.
