The Impact

Incumbents’ inertia in the face of disruptive innovations has been emphasised in prior literature. The relevance of inertia is particularly topical in the context of digital transformation. However, incumbents may be able to invest in disruptive digital innovations appropriately if they possess the motivation and ability to do so. In this paper, I use three streams of research in order to investigate contextual, organisational, and individual antecedents of incumbents’ motivation and ability to adopt and use potentially disruptive digital innovations in health care: institutional theory, the resource-based view, and technology acceptance literature. I employ factor analyses and logistic regressions to test the impact on the adoption and usage of telemedicine applications using a dataset of 9,196 European general practitioners. I examine B2B as well as B2C applications in order to determine the effect of the antecedents on different business models. My findings suggest that only isomorphic pressure, complementary assets, and perceived output quality significantly influence both adoption and usage as well as B2B and B2C business models in the same way. Formal institutions and individual factors yield ambiguous results. These findings provide important implications for the understanding of incumbents’ response to potentially disruptive digital innovations in regulated contexts.

The Impact

This paper aims to investigate the teachers’ and students' views on using technology and its effect oncommunication/interaction. As noteworthy results have been succeeded in educational technology in recent years,evaluating the effects of technology integration on communication is now possible. Moreover, the impact oftechnology on the teachers' and students' communication is considered important. The present study examines thefactors or the impact of using technology between teacher-student communication/interaction in Turkey. This paperproposes both innovation diffusion theory (IDT) and integrating technology acceptance model (TAM) fromeducational communication perspectives. The case study method was used in the research. Case study is one of thequalitative approaches and requires in-depth analysis of a case resulting in a narrative description of behaviour orexperience of a person or a group. The sample of this study consists of 95 participants (77 students and 18 teachers)from a secondary school in Bursa/Turkey. Semi-Structured interviews were carried out with the participants includingissues; "using education technology on teacher and student technologies, the effect of using education technology andto improve teacher-student communication should be used asolution proposals for technologies in classrooms".Maxqda 11 program was used for the analysis of the interviews. As a result of the interviews, participants have beensuggested to use tablets in classrooms, sound insulation, use of never ending pen and no ringtones. The findings showthat the choice of educational technology is related to teachers’ perception which is communication/interaction withthe student can be enhanced using technology. However, the opposite is true for students.

Primary Determinant

As a response to scholars’ growing calls for new and more cross-cultural perspectives in the study of educational technology acceptance, this study examined the moderating effect of Moroccan ( n = 200) and American ( n = 200) university students’ psycho-cultural values, as conceptualized by Hofstede’s multidimensional matrix, on their acceptance and use of Web 2.0 for learning. Data were collected using an extended version of the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT). The findings, in addition to validating the UTAUT in two culturally divergent higher education contexts, have uncovered how students’ cultural values of individualism/collectivism and power distance significantly affect their Web 2.0 acceptance profiles. Thus, for example, while Moroccan students’ acceptance of Web 2.0 is determined by social influence, performance expectancy and behavioral intention were the primary determinant factors for their American counterparts.

The Impact

Electronic banking has become an essential element for the banking sector's success around the globe and attained the attention of recent studies and regulators. Thus, the present study examines the impact of technology adoption elements such as perceived ease to use, perceived usefulness, security, and privacy and perceived behavioral control on the intention to use of electronic banking among university students in Pakistan. This study also examines the mediating role of government support among the perceived ease to use, perceived usefulness, security and privacy, perceived behavioral control and intention to use of electronic banking among university students in Pakistan. The data have been gathered with the help of questionnaires from private university students in Punjab, Pakistan. The present study has adopted the smart-PLS to analyze the nexus among the constructs. The results have revealed that perceived ease to use, perceived usefulness, and perceived behavioral control have significant and positive relationships with the intention to use of electronic banking in Pakistan. The findings also indicated that government support significantly and positively mediates among the relations of perceived ease to use, perceived usefulness, security and privacy, perceived behavioral control and intention to use of electronic banking among university students in Pakistan. These outcomes provide the guidelines to the banking regulatory authorities while developing the policies related to the use of electronic banking.

The purpose of the study is to identify the core mechanism of how social networking sites use happens in the perspective of contextual factors and then examine the cultural difference in the motives for using social networking sites between China and Pakistan university students. An instrument was designed to calculate the various aspect factors and social networking use intention by using the technology acceptance model (TAM) and the information success model (ISSM). A survey was administered among university students of China and Pakistan. The purposed model was empirically tested by PLS-SEM to examine the influential factors on the use of social networking sites. To the best of our knowledge, there is no cross-cultural published study associated with contextual factors effecting use of social networking sites between China and Pakistan. Our findings show that there are indeed important learning and network factors that lead to social networking sites. This paper examines how cultural perspectives shape the use of communication technology by examining the patterns of using social network sites among university students in China and Pakistan. The results of the study show that perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness, perceived interaction and system use have positive and direct effect on the intention to use social networking sites for information communication. More interestingly, the use of such social networking factors varies sharply across countries with different market-based institutions.
