The modern industrial civilization improves anthropogenic activities and greatly simplifies human effort and the industrial world. Cloud computing and mobile applications are increasingly more than just trendy buzzwords; they are crucial elements of how business will be conducted in the future. A rising number of SMEs are currently utilizing mobile and cloud computing technology. This study examines the links between customer reviews, app ratings, and accounting app adoption in Kenya. The study collected data on 35 commonly used accounting mobile applications and performed a regression analysis on 27 apps that had received user reviews. Data on mobile apps' usage rate, volume of user reviews, and user ratings were gathered for this study. This study's findings revealed a significant relationship between the number of user evaluations and the adoption of accounting mobile apps. However, the study did not observe a significant effect of user reviews on the adoption of accounting mobile apps. This paper also identifies a few shortcomings that app users have pointed out in their reviews. The study's findings indicate that Kenya's degree of mobile app adoption has greatly increased due to the volume of app reviews. This study advises entrepreneurs, particularly those who engage with SMEs, to embrace technology and adopt freely downloadable mobile apps for their accounting and bookkeeping requirements.
Modern industry improves anthropogenic activities and greatly simplifies human effort and the industrial world. Cloud computing and mobile applications are more than just buzzwords; they are crucial elements of how business is conducted and how it will be conducted in the future. A rising number of SMEs are currently utilizing mobile and cloud computing technology. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the linkages between user reviews and ratings and the adoption of mobile accounting apps among SMEs in Kenya. The study collected data on 35 commonly used mobile accounting applications and performed a regression analysis on 27 apps that had received user reviews. Data on mobile apps' usage rate, volume of user reviews, and user ratings were gathered for this study. The authors also took note of the deficiencies identified by the selected mobile app reviewers. This study's findings revealed a significant relationship between the number of user evaluations and the adoption of mobile accounting apps. However, a significant effect of user reviews on the adoption of mobile accounting apps was not observed. This paper also identifies shortcomings that app users have pointed out in their reviews. It was concluded that Kenya's degree of mobile app adoption has greatly increased due to the volume of app reviews. This study advises entrepreneurs, particularly those who engage with SMEs, to embrace technology and adopt freely downloadable mobile apps for their accounting and bookkeeping requirements.
Organizations all over the world strive to remain in operation through application of change management. This implies that managers who fail to adopt changes remain irrelevant in the market. The existing literature denoted gaps in the areas of technology adoption interventions as a strategic change agent in commercial state corporations in Kenya. The aim of the study was to determine the relationship between technology adoption interventions and performance of commercial state corporations in Kenya. The target was 55 commercial state corporations and a total of 48 were studied. These were obtained through stratified random sampling. The respondents of this study constituted CEOs, Finance Managers and HR Managers of each of the sampled commercial state corporations. A total of 144 respondents participated in the study through interviews using questionnaires. Regression models were fitted and hypothesis testing was carried using standard F and t tests. Technology adoption interventions was assessed by four sub-variables namely acquisition of IT infrastructure, strategic alignment, organization structure and employee training. Seven factors were subjected to factor analysis. Two factors that is, acquisition of IT and employee training were identified with the highest influence on technology adoption interventions with cumulative variance of 69.7%. Factor one had the highest with 53.2% while factor two had 16.6% of total variance. Acquisition of IT and employee training had eigen values greater than 1. Respondents on average agreed that acquisition of technology affects technology adoption interventions with a mean of 3.9449. Respondents also agreed that employee training affects technology adoption interventions with a mean of 3.8189. The results showed a strong positive and significant relationship between acquisition of technology and performance (r = 0.512; p = 0.000). The regression coefficients results of the Technology adoption interventions measures were found to be significant at 5% level of significance with a coefficient of 0.491 and p-value of 0.000. This implied that the null hypothesis was rejected and the alternative hypothesis was accepted that technology adoption interventions influenced performance of commercial state corporations in Kenya. Acquisition of technology, had a positive and linear relationship with performance. There was also a positive relationship between employee training and performance. This therefore, underscored the importance of technology acquisition and also training the agents involved in the change interventions. From the findings of this study, it can be concluded that technology adoption interventions which had acquisition of technology and employee training as sub-variables retained after factor analysis was found to have a significant relationship with performance of commercial state corporations in Kenya.
