“…Effort Expectancy (EE) shows the extent to which the use of technology is easily perceived by users [36] and which also includes the degree of perceived complexity [57] being important in the context of personal and workplace technologies. Perceptions of ease of use [38] and perceived utility have been reflected in several studies using the TAM model with a significant impact on behavioral intentions to use IoT technologies such as: (1) e-learning [58], (2) blogs [59], (3) mobile devices [60], (4) IoT applications [61], (5) wearable technology [62,63], (6) adoption of mobile banking [64] and Internet banking [65], (7) urban technologies [66], (8) virtual reality [67] and (9) teaching technologies [68]. Therefore, we consider that the performance effort will have a positive impact on the intrinsic motivation of using IoT solutions by managers and the first hypothesis that will be tested will be:…”

“…Although users enjoy multiple benefits [5][6][7][8][9][10], the proliferation of new communication technologies has raised privacy and security issues due to the unprecedented amounts of information it can collect, analyze and store [11]. Researchers have conducted studies on the possible implications of IoT services on users' lives, and as a result, understanding user acceptance becomes an essential condition in the daily expansion of IoT applications.…”

The purpose of our study is to research and identify intrinsic and extrinsic motivations but also their impact on the behavioral intentions of using Internet of Things (IoT) solutions among company managers in Romania in the future. The research method used in the quantitative study was the sample survey, using the online questionnaire as a data collection tool. The questionnaire included a formalized set of 54 questions, being specially designed to generate a new structural model starting from the Unified Theory for Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) elements. A total of 416 respondents provided complete and useful answers for this research. The results of the study showed that the endogenous factor intrinsically motivated significantly and strongly affected the intention of managers to use IoT solutions in professional activity compared to the variable of extrinsic motivation whose action remains insignificant. At the same time, the effect of the intrinsic motivation variable was mediated by the significant influence of the endogenous extrinsic motivation factor. The implications of this study are multiple for both managers and researchers. The originality of this article lies in the empirical part of the research, which, by using a quantitative method based on the questionnaire, provides important information on the impact of the motivational spectrum on the acceptance and use of IoT solutions by managers in the next period to achieve new performance, both personal and professional.

“…Sometimes, there are very high barriers to entry or limited opportunities to adapt the system to the technologies proposed by startups within the short term [11]. In this situation, startups investors try to find actionable insights regarding the projects and the corresponding innovation-based technologies to ensure that their investments will be profitable [12].…”

“…According to Weiblen and Chesbrough [13], social networks and digital marketing strategies-the main communication channels through which startups can promote their products and services-constitute an important segment in the startup ecosystem [12]. These channels are used to attract new users and clients and to show the world the project they have developed [14].…”

The startup business ecosystem in India has experienced exponential growth. The amount of investment in Indian startups in the last decade demonstrates the strong interest of the technology industry to these business models based on innovation. In this context, the present study aims to identify investment opportunities for investors in Indian startups by identifying key indicators that characterize the startup ecosystem in India. To this end, a three steps data mining method is developed using data mining techniques. First, a sentiment analysis (SA), a machine learning approach that classifies the topics into groups expressing feelings, is applied to a dataset. Next, we develop a Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) model, a topic-modeling technique that divides the sample of n = 14.531 tweets from Twitter into topics, using user-generated content (UGC) as data. Finally, in order to identify the characteristics of each topic we apply textual analysis (TA) to identify key indicators. The originality of the present study lies in the methodological process used for data analysis. Our results also contribute to the literature on startups. The results demonstrate that the Indian startup ecosystem is influenced by areas such as fintech, innovation, crowdfunding, hardware, funds, competition, artificial intelligence, augmented reality and electronic commerce. Of note, in view of the exploratory approach of the present study, the results and implications should be taken as descriptive, rather than determining for future investments in the Indian startup ecosystem.

Information technology is a reality of our days, and the future means digitalization. The public sector cannot be absent from this natural evolution of things. Cloud computing technology is defined as a service that uses cloud accounting software available to users and can be accessed from anywhere and does not require hardware, and its development brings a new evolution in the information-accounting system: cloud accounting. This article focuses on the implementation of cloud computing in the public sector, and qualitative research highlights the benefits and challenges of integrating this technology in the public domain. The result of the study can be a starting point for the implementation of cloud computing technology in the public sector.
