“…; whether they are more or less open to changes, they can introduce them with greater or lesser efficiency, and their preferred teaching style is also important [41]. Acceptance by e-learning by lecturers may also have cultural reasons [4,42].…”

“…We also believe that the results of our analysis might be extended to other Eastern European countries, due to cultural similarities existing in this geographical area. The effectiveness of e-learning courses is also conditioned by cultural factors [4,5]. In Eastern European countries, there are also similar systems, problems and challenges in the field of academic education, and the problem with access to high-speed internet [6].…”

et al. 2020

The aim of the paper is to investigate the benefits and drawbacks resulting from the implementation of e-learning in accounting modules among educators. The primary source of data was a questionnaire conducted among 79 accounting lecturers, employed by the leading Polish economic universities. The results of the survey have shown that e-learning is not widely used by accounting academics in Poland. The most important benefits of the e-courses included the enhancement of efficiency and flexibility of the teaching process. The most serious difficulties were an extensive amount of work associated with designing and updating course materials and technical problems. The effectiveness of e-learning techniques in teaching accounting subjects is determined by the easiness of e-learning delivery, more regular learning process, greater development of students’ social competences during e-learning classes and a more effective process of verification of students’ progress, in comparison with traditional classes. Furthermore, the study provides evidence that lecturers, who decided to use e-learning, perceive this way of teaching as more efficient, and at the same time more demanding, in comparison to traditional classes. The paper contributes to the understanding of the use of e-learning in accounting education and offers findings that might be useful for both policymakers and practitioners.

“…Thus, this model becomes one of the most widely used models among others due to its simplicity, parsimony and robustness (Abu-Shanab et al, 2010;Yuen et al, 2010;Foon and Fah, 2011;Venkatesh et al, 2012;Tarhini et al, 2015). It was also proved to be superior to other prevailing competing models (Venkatesh et al, 2003;Venkatesh and Zhang, 2010).…”

Design/methodology/approach -A conceptual framework was developed through extending the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) by incorporating two additional factors namely; perceived credibility (PC) and task-technology fit (TTF). A quantitative approach based on cross-sectional survey was used to collect data from 408 IB consumers. Data were analysed using structural equation modelling based on AMOS 20.0. Findings -The results of the structural path revealed that performance expectancy (PE), social influence, PC and TTF to be significant predictors in influencing customers' behavioural intention (BI) to use IB and explained 61 per cent of its variance, with PE was found the strongest antecedent of BI. Contrary to the UTAUT, the effect of effort expectancy on BI was insignificant. In addition, both BI and facilitating conditions were found to affect the actual usage behaviour and explained 64 per cent of its variance Practical implications -This study would be helpful for bank managers and policy makers to explain the currently relatively low penetration rate of IB in formulating strategies to encourage the adoption and acceptance of IB by Lebanese customers, where IB is still considered an innovation. Originality/value -This study is the first research that extend the UTAUT by incorporating two additional factors namely; PC and TTF to study the IB in the Lebanese context. This study contributes to the research on computer technology usage by looking at IB adoption and incorporation into the lives of customers via the BI to use and actual usage of IB in Lebanon.

In resource constraint environment, business operates by â€œdoing it right the first timeâ€ for timely production and effective delivery. Modular design, Interchangeable systems and â€œLeagileâ€ manufacturing are essential tools for coping with variable demands. We discuss manufacturing system design & its importance for firmâ€™s competitiveness by operationalizing competitiveness in terms of profit share and understanding mediation of interchangeability between modular design and market share. Our findings suggest that modular design provides an enterprise to explore new customer base, focus on niche market and start on a new learning curve.
