Guided by the literature in diffusion of innovations, the technology acceptance model, and risk information sharing, this paper reports the results of a survey distributed to National Weather Service (NWS)-Memphis Weather Forecast Office (WFO) stakeholders who receive the Mississippi River Outlook product and its embedded 28-day experimental forecast. The survey examined perceptual factors that likely influence participants’ adoption of flood forecast information provided in the Outlook, and assessed Outlook recipients’ forecast-sharing behaviors and perceptions. Results revealed that the first responders perceived the Outlook product to be more useful than experts, while experts experienced less social influence to use it than first responders or the public. Although participants were generally favorable toward and intended to use the Outlook in the future, experts were significantly less likely to do so and hold a favorable attitude. The majority of participants reported sharing the Outlook with an average of 11 people, and were most likely to share either the entire Outlook verbatim or specific, verbatim sections. Implications of the Outlook’s perceived characteristics and participants’ Outlook-sharing behaviors are discussed.

Existing Data

The use of information technology aims to improve the performance of public services to be more effective and efficient. But problems arise in the Public, for example in e-commerce users or the Olx.co.id website. Problems that arise include the lack of public desire to use technology and (Perceived Usefulness), the technology cannot be fully used by the Public. This study aims to analyze the factors that affect the level of acceptance of the Olx.co.id online buying and selling website by using the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) framework as a conceptual model. At the beginning of the study, information work was carried out by collecting data from the questionnaire results from 500 respondents as samples and processing them with AMOS 22 software. Then after being processed as a whole, the writer tries to re-process the existing data, but the difference is the separation of the data based on gender respondents (male and female). Thus, a significant relationship will be obtained and can be used as recommendations for improvement for e-commerce websites.

The current work explores the use of social computing as a tool to improve the interactions between the government and other parties. Social computing, which is known as Web 2.0, is applied in the public sector through the concept of e-Government 2.0. This chapter proposes a conceptual model that will measure e-Government 2.0 adoption by combining known information technology theories. The conceptual model is based on a combination of the Technology Acceptance Model, Theory of Planned Behavior and indexes from the United Nation's database. Future research should validate the empirical model. Meanwhile, the implications of the model are presented.

Acceptance Model

This chapter argues that diffusion theory models like the technology acceptance model (TAM) need to be rethought of in light of contextual factors that are becoming increasingly important in modern inter-organisational settings. This is due to the growing complexity of organizations with respect to different organisational types, contexts, and political structures that have been shown in research literature to hinder information systems acceptance. The chapter looks at possible contextual factors that are ignored by TAM by critiquing its parent diffusion theory (diffusion of innovations). This approach was considered best as there are many variations of TAM, but the diffusion of innovations (DOI) theory underlies all these variations. The chapter also recommends a way forward for research into inter-organisational information systems by examining an example situation of Feral Information Systems (FIS) to illustrate the problem. The chapter concludes with a discussion about future research directions.

This article presents a re-interpretation of research done in the mid-2000s on uptake of Internet technologies in the banking industry in Oman, compared with that in Australia. It addresses the question: What are the enablers and the inhibitors of Internet technology adoption in the Omani banking industry compared with those in the Australian banking industry? The research did not attempt a direct comparison of the banking industries in these two very different countries, but rather considered Internet technology adoption in Oman, informed by the more mature Australian experience. The original study considered Internet banking as an innovation and used an approach to theorising this innovation that was based on Diffusion of Innovations and the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). Given the socio-technical nature of this investigation, however, another approach to adoption of innovations was worth investigating, and this article reports a re-interpretation of the original study using innovation translation from actor-network theory (ANT).

The Many

There are many quantitative studies on the behavior of consumers of new products or services. This chapter shows the starting point of three major lines of quantitative research. The next four chapters will lean heavily on these three subjects: diffusion of innovations, technology acceptance, and theory of planned behavior. The first line of research is the diffusion of innovations research that can be traced back to Rogers. One of the most important features of the book is the characterization of the persuasion step with relative advantage as a major driver for acceptation of innovations. The second line is the many applications of the technology acceptance model (TAM) that was introduced by Davis in the late 1980s. The most important result of this article is that perceived usefulness was significantly more strongly linked to usage than was ease of use, both defined in this chapter.

This chapter measures the attitudes of people residing in the Kingdom of Bahrain toward adopting mobile banking technology, also known as e-Wallets. The Technology Acceptance Model, the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology, and the Diffusion of Innovations model were used to construct a questionnaire with the added focus on the promotional aspects. A total of 1,740 responses obtained from individuals in Bahrain revealed a high level of adoption rates. All dimensions measured were confirmed to have a significant impact on the adoption of e-Wallets, particularly those related to promotional benefits, which reveals a need for future studies to focus on the marketing approaches of mobile payment technologies. Studied factors were confirmed to have a significant impact on the usage and adoption of e-Wallets in the Kingdom of Bahrain. More focus is required from a benefits perspective rather than the technical perspective. Financial institutions need to pay more considerable attention to the changing mindsets of people toward making payments and the shift to new technologies.

M-banking has become an important alternative to electronic banking and a popular medium in the developed world. This important mode of business has not been very widely used in the developing world. The acceptance of m-banking appears to be affected by several factors, some of which may be the personal attitudes of the users, influences of normality, and the context in which it is used. The study focuses on two hundred customers from major banks in Brunei Darussalam and explores m-banking adoption by combining the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), Rogers’ Diffusion of innovations (DOI) attributes of adoption, and the decomposed theory of planned behavior with eight antecedent variables: perceived usefulness, ease of use, compatibility, credibility, image, financial cost, motive to use m-banking, and influence of reference groups leading towards customers’ attitudes that determine the m-banking adoption. The results are discussed in depth further into the study.
