“…The link between the acceptance of the technologies in the organization, and the way systems are implemented can lead to resistance of change issues, which users can find increasingly difficult to deal with, as political issues as a well as institutional factors can influence this resistance of the systems [18]. The way users accept the new technology is often also based on the political settings within the organization, and therefore can influence the perceived benefits of any new system [19]- [21]. There is evidence to suggest the way in which the benefits are perceived is also linked to the response which users give to training and support for the new system, and therefore there is a need for proper communication to initiate and lower the possible resistance to change [16], [12].…”

Abstract-The purpose of this research paper to present the synthesized theoretical and empirical literature to help in the development of propositions and suggestions of a research agenda on the acceptance of ERP systems and their link with financial performance, the paper develops the technology acceptance model (TAM) to synthesize relevant literature and to develop proposition for future research agendas. The proposition and the research agenda will provide an adequate explanation of the acceptance of ERP systems, and their possible association with financial performance of organizations. The literature does provide a canon of acceptance of ERP systems in relation to financial performance. This research provides a positive association between the acceptance of ERP systems and financial performance. Also, the use of TAM theory provides further insight into identifying the acceptance factors of ERP.

“…The means of communication influence which of the characteristics and which of the psychological processes have the strongest influence on consumer acceptance. Hence, acceptance is primarily explained by the end users' interpretation of the technology, including their moral beliefs about it (Ronteltap et al 2007;Sjöberg 2005). In the case of nutrigenomics, studies indicate that it would be beneficial for public acceptance if expert stakeholders were to communicate unanimously about the technology, if the actual spin-off products provided clearly recognizable advantages to the consumer, and if the technology could be easily implemented in daily life.…”

Consumers often have a positive attitude to the option of receiving personalized nutrition advice based upon genetic testing, since the prospect of enhancing or maintaining one's health can be perceived as empowering. Current direct-to-consumer services over the Internet, however, suffer from a questionable level of truthfulness and consumer protection, in addition to an imbalance between far-reaching promises and contrasting disclaimers. Psychological and behavioral studies indicate that consumer acceptance of a new technology is primarily explained by the end user's rational and emotional interpretation as well as moral beliefs. Results from such studies indicate that personalized nutrition must create true value for the consumer. Also, the freedom to choose is crucial for consumer acceptance. From an ethical point of view, consumer protection is crucial, and caution must be exercised when putting nutrigenomic-based tests and advice services on the market. Current Internet offerings appear to reveal a need to further guaranty legal certainty by ensuring privacy, consumer protection and safety. Personalized nutrition services are on the borderline between nutrition and medicine. Current regulation of this area is incomplete and undergoing development. This situation entails the necessity for carefully assessing and developing existing rules that safeguard fundamental rights and data protection while taking into account the sensitivity of data, the risks posed by each step in their processing, and sufficient guarantees for consumers against potential misuse.

“…The seven categories are also related directly or indirectly to issues of communication; risk and benefit perception; safety, quality, and cost; trust and social norms; public knowledge; and psychological factors such as naturalness that have been identified in studies on consumer or societal acceptance of novel food and technology (e.g., Costa-Font et al, 2008;Ronteltap et al, 2007;Siegrist, 2008). Though the research described in this paper did not set out to translate the findings in those studies into specific organizational strategies, that was one of the results.…”

“…The importance of public opinion and perception in obtaining legitimacy for new technologies has been illustrated in studies on genetically modified organisms (GMOs), biotechnology, and nutrigenomics (Gostek, 2016;Ronteltap et al, 2007;Sylvester et al, 2009). Sectors with novel innovations in food must navigate the bumpy terrain of introducing change in current food production and consumption patterns within a cautious legal and public climate.…”
