Integrated Acceptance and Sustainability Assessment Model (IASAM) is a new approach for evaluation of technologies that combines socio-economic aspects and socio-technical characteristics of technology development and exploitation. Previous IASAM model was based on UTAUT acceptance model and it was laborious. The potential acceptance is a very challenging issue and has been studied by many authors. One of the leading theories regarding the acceptance recognition is Theory on Diffusion of Innovations by Rogers. This paper describes the application of this theory in evaluation of technology acceptance and sustainability within the IASAM2 model.
Abstract. This article introduces the cornerstones of Integrated Acceptance and Sustainability Assessment Model used for new and existing technologies evaluation. It combines the user acceptance metrics used by UTAUT model with additional socio-technical factors influencing development and running of technology. The model is developed using system dynamics approach and consists of four main flows -management, quality of technology, technology acceptance and domain development.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
