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.
