Title: Management Software Acceptance:
Analysis of “Industry Effect”
Abstract:This
study
analyzes current and future company use of various new technologies,
such
as management software, employing a technology acceptance model (TAM)
optimized
by the inclusion of experience with other technologies (Internet,
e-mail,
EDI, B2B). It examines whether relationships in the model change
according
to sectors to which companies belong, that is, if there exists a
moderating
effect of industry. The study applies two types of analyses: structural
and
multisample. The results show that “industry effect” modifies two
important
TAM relationships, and consequently it affects the company behavior
regarding
technology.
