PurposeThis paper aims to map the influential concepts on technology adoption in Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) through conducting a systematic literature review and finding a better understanding of the current body of knowledge.Design/methodology/approachA systematic literature review approach is taken here, which includes the following steps: Determination of keywords and strings, selection of databases, setting inclusion and exclusion criteria, conducting the search in chosen databases over a specific period of time. This process has led to the final count of 349 peer-reviewed articles being studied, and the results are analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively.FindingsAs a result of the study, 11 categories of influential concepts on technology adoption are identified by reviewing literature from the past decade. This article indicates how fragmented the literature is and how it concentrates on studying the impact of only a limited number of categories of concepts. The scatted frameworks (theoretical and conceptual) and weak application of the used theories found in this research also highlight the need for the development of a framework that looks into technology adoption as a dynamic process due to the dynamic nature of new technologies today.Research limitations/implicationsBased on the above findings, future research avenues are to look into technology adoption from a process perspective, to dig into less researched influencing concepts such as infrastructure, regulations, strategy and resources and their role in adoption of technology in SMEs as well as development of a framework for technology adoption that is aligned with these elements.Practical implicationsPractitioners and policymakers will benefit from finding a helicopter view of the barriers and supporting factors throughout their technology adoption journey. The knowledge they gain from this study will better prepare them in building tools they need for adopting technology in their organizations and provide an in-depth insight to what elements can affect their journey.Originality/valueThis review provides an insight into the current body of knowledge on the topic, which researchers can benefit from constructing an in-depth understanding of the state of research as well as influencing concepts of technology adoption in SMEs. Moreover, it adds value in building up the knowledge of technology adoption in today's dynamic world of digitalization.

“…In addition, many mobile apps require consumers to disclose personal information, such as their date of birth, which can then be leveraged to send birthday greetings that invite consumers to shop. That said, such technologies have significantly increased consumers' concerns about privacy (Gutierrez et al, 2019;Martínez-Román et al, 2020). Consumers have begun to perceive companies' marketing actions as intrusive and fear the potential abuse of their provided information, such as unauthorized secondary use, improper access, and errors (Hallam & Zanella, 2017).…”

The role of attitude toward chatbots and privacy concern on the relationship between attitude toward mobile advertising and behavioral intent to use chatbots

Chatbots are technological tools equipped with artificial intelligence that allow companies to interact with their consumers. Through their computers or mobile devices, consumers can use this technology to search for information, make purchases or request after-sales services. This study aims to identify the role of attitude toward chatbots and privacy concern in the relationship between attitude toward mobile advertising and behavioral intent to use chatbots. After reviewing the literature, the study proposes a moderated mediation model. Through a survey, the study shows that attitude toward mobile advertising does not have a direct effect on the behavioral intent to use chatbot, but is rather mediated by one’s attitude toward chatbots. In fact, the interactivity is unidirectional in the case of mobile advertising (from the company to the consumer), but bidirectional in the case of chatbots (in which consumers have an active role in communication). In line with these assumptions, the data analysis shows that internet privacy concerns only negatively moderate the relationship between attitude toward chatbots and behavioral intent to use this technology. These results can be useful for companies and researchers in terms of developing and testing new digital marketing strategies. The paper concludes with a discussion of the results’ theoretical and managerial implications.

“…Generation is preliminarily understood as an internal process, such as Research & Development or SECI process proposed by Nonaka & Takeuchi (1995) that allows the creation of new knowledge (Denford, 2013). The importance of external (acquired/absorbed) and internal (generated/created) knowledge and their interaction emerge in the literature as drivers of the innovation process in project teams (Martínez-Román et al, 2020). While the knowledge acquired externally allows the exploitation of the team's internal capacity, efforts to generate new knowledge facilitate the assimilation and exploitation of technologies available in the market (Martínez-Román et al, 2020;Mahmud et al, 2020).…”

Dynamic capability is recognized in the academic and business context as an essential factor for the firm to build differential and remain competitive in dynamic markets. Most of these preliminary studies assess dynamic capability from the perspective of the resource-based view of the firm. This study advances on this theme by analyzing the impact of knowledge-based dynamic capability, based on the knowledge based vision of firm, about innovation of project team. Previous studies have identified the relationship between dynamic capability and innovation or organizational performance, but there is a gap in the theory that relates antecedents of dynamic capability. Thus, this research aims to analyze the relationship between organizational structure and dynamic capability on the innovative capacity of project teams. To achieve this objective, 65 project teams from industrial companies in the state of São Paulo were studied and the data were analyzed using the technique of structural equation modeling - partial least squares (SEM_PLS). The results show that structures with a higher degree of formalization and centralization have a negative impact on knowledge-based dynamic capability, and integration has a positive relationship with dynamic capability. Furthermore, the research shows that the innovative capacity of project teams is directly affected by the ability to generate and combine knowledge, however, the acquisition / absorption of knowledge does not interfere with the innovation activity of these teams.
