The objectives of this paper are to examine the principals’ transformational leadership qualities and to juxtapose this to Information Technology adoption in Botswana secondary schools. Using David et al. (1989) Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), Todd’s (1999) transformational leadership constructs, and qualitative open-ended questions, a research tool was formulated to establish the perceptions of school heads in 10 urban and 14 rural schools, about computer technology acceptance, the role of the school library in the integration of computers in the school and transformational leadership. The findings point to a trend towards computer acceptance and transformational leadership, albeit some indications of computer anxiety, some feelings about the lack of computer usefulness and ease of use, as well as leadership issues, like the lack of functional school libraries. One of the most relevant findings was the positive correlation between perceived ease of use of the computer statement to some leadership constructs.


This study compares the impact of different size of SMEs and the age of SMEs on the technology adoption. This survey was conducted on the use of IT in SMEs in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. As a developing country, most of the Indonesian economy is dominated by SMEs.
