Adoption of Internet of Things in India: A test of competing models using a structured equation modeling approach

Smart City Governance in Developing Countries: A Systematic Literature Review

“…The characteristics of all the included 56 studies broadly fall into three categories: (i) studies that focus on in-depth analysis of smart city development process or policy process in a particular jurisdiction [28,, (ii) surveys of citizens and experts regarding their views/opinions/preferences on smart cities adoption [3,[67][68][69][70][71][72][73], and (iii) theorising/conceptualising the developmental trends of smart cities in the context of developing countries [74,75]. While most studies focus on the macropolicy implementation of smart cities, some studies dive into explaining the process of adopting a particular smart systems such as the incorporation of digital platform or ICT into public services [33,55,58,70], adoption of intelligent transport systems [61,[76][77][78], and the adoption of IoT in public services [39,67]. Appendix A provides more detailed information about the 56 studies including country/initiative studied, method of the study and the aims/objectives of the study.…”

Internet of things and its challenges in supply chain management; a rough strength-relation analysis method

“…Internet of Things (IOT) technology which turns out as a buzzword in the ICT contains elements such as biometrics, sensors and controlling data of the real world into the information technology platform (Mital et al, 2017). Research institutes predict its economic potential to be enormous and applicable in different industries such as healthcare, energy management, industrial automation, environmental management, traffi c management, logistic and supply chain management (Kim & Kim, 2016).…”

“…These relations that are not sometimes easily observable make conditions worse and infl uence all partners through the whole supply chain. Decision making and trial evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) is an applicable method that is used to explore interconnections of challenges, including supply chain management (Song et al, 2017;Debnath et al, 2017;Supeekit et al, 2016;Liou et al, 2016;Rajesh & Ravi, 2015;Pourahmad et al, 2015;Gandhi et al, 2015). However, this method is based on experts' opinions and it is obvious that expert knowledge is somehow imprecise and subjective.…”
