Title: Adoption of Technology among
Businesses:
The Strategic Adoption
Abstract: Theories explaining adoption of
technology
have developed significantly over the last few decades. From the
initial
interest on individual’s adoption of innovative technology, some
studies
have implicitly and explicitly applied the theories to examine a firm’s
decision
to adopt technology. This study argues that individuals and firms make
decision
based on different criteria thus enhancing the Diffusion of Innovation
(DOI),
Perceived Characteristics of Innovating (PCI), and the framework
developed
by Campeau, Meister, and Higgins (2007) to propose a framework for
strategic
adoption suit the context of profit-oriented organisation. However,
future
works are still needed to modify, develop measures, empirical examine,
and
validate the framework.
