“…The collection of information becoming automatic, to facilitate real-time decision-making and potentially improve access management for the involved actors, was highlighted [ 56 ]. Inter-organizational information systems functioning within the maritime transport chains have been analysed [ 58 ], and factors influencing the successful adoption of these systems in seaports have been identified [ 59 ]. Heilig and Voß presented a classification and a comprehensive survey of information systems and related information technologies applied in ports [ 60 ].…”

Currently, seaports are actively searching for methods and ways to improve their operational efficiency. Digitalization is considered as one of the main directions of current ports’ development. Ports’ digitalization levels are varied and may depend on different factors, including port size, traditions, turnover and handled cargo type, etc. Ports often face decision-making challenges related to assessment of their digitization level and choice of development directions. The article aims to develop a methodology to evaluate ports’ digitalization level. A marketing research tool was used to collect the data needed for the analysis. A mathematical model allowing simulations is proposed and a case study of 30 ports located in the Baltic, North and Mediterranean Seas regions is explored. Based on conducted calculations, a ranking of analysed ports considering their digitalization level was created. The ports were compared within groups of small, medium-sized and large ports. It was estimated that the digitalization level in small and medium-sized ports is about 30% lower than the level of large seaports. The research results may be of interest to seaports striving to assess their level of digitalization and choose the best digital improvement solutions.

“…Therefore, facilitating conditions are primarily known to refer to the accessibility of adequate assets and assistance for people to use and fully exploit the new implemented technology within their organizational structure [72]. Several scholars found that facilitating conditions have an invariable positive influence on how innovation is incorporated [73]. Subsequently, insufficient information, scarce resources, lack of timely support and assistance can serve as a roadblock in the acceptance level of web-based technology [74].…”

The development in information technology has played an influential role in transforming the restaurant industry services. Therefore, this research’s main agenda is to investigate factors that motivate employees to adopt and continue using information technology services by integrating two famous information system (IS) theories, namely, task technology fit (TTF) and technology continuance theory (TCT). The extant integrative perspective model details the cause-effect relationship between technology adoption and continuance intention. The positivist paradigm forms the basis of this research design, and the approach followed is quantitative research. Using the stratified random sampling technique, the empirical data was collected from 417 restaurant industry employees in the US (United States) on a five-point Likert scale. The PLS-SEM technique was utilized to analyze data while using Smart PLS 3 because of its suitability and wider application currently in the hospitality sector. Results suggest that the recently developed integrated technology continuance research model has considerable influence on predicting pre- and post-adoption behavior with continuance intention for technology usage within the restaurant industry. All hypotheses were found significant except one for the direct association of hedonic motivation and continuance intention of technology adoption. Moreover, the results revealed that factors like perceived security & information privacy and assisting conditions were the most important factors in determining the usage of information technology with continuance intention. Unlike previous research studies that focus majorly only on issues before adoption of informational technology usage, the current focus on investigating continuance intention toward information technology usage by focusing on factors that can also boost post-adoption behavior and pre-adoption usage information technology.

“…Aligned with the need of strengthening port governance in the region, Schulte et al ( 2016 ) emphasize the need of basic steps such as the definition of a strategic plan in which all the stakeholders are consulted and define a common vision for a more sustainable port supply chain. Another related study in LAC is presented by Vairetti et al ( 2019 ). Port digitalization and the use of new technologies to not only enhance the exchange of documents and information among the stakeholders of the ports, but also support decision making are a relevant aspect for ports to face the current challenges.…”

“…Port digitalization and the use of new technologies to not only enhance the exchange of documents and information among the stakeholders of the ports, but also support decision making are a relevant aspect for ports to face the current challenges. In this regard, Vairetti et al ( 2019 ) analyze, based on an empirical study, what are the factors influencing the successful adoption of inter-organizational information systems (IOISs). Their results show that stakeholder collaboration and governance of the PLC are the most critical success factors.…”

“…Summarizing the related literature, the studies of PLCs have addressed topics related to modeling the interrelations among the different stakeholders of the port community (Martin and Thomas 2001 ; Rodrigue et al 2010 ; Da Cruz et al 2013 ; Notteboom et al 2015 ); the analysis of coordination for freight transport to the hinterland (Van Der Horst and De Langen 2008 ); the analysis of factors that condition the development of common strategies inside the port community (Jacobs and Hall 2007 ; Dooms et al 2013 ); the analysis and key performance indicators for the integration of business processes and the use of port technologies (Panayides and Song 2009 ; Carlan et al 2016 ; Clott and Hartman 2016 ); critical factors for successful adoption of information systems in ports (Coronado Mondragon et al 2017 ; Vairetti et al 2019 ); and port sustainability practices (Le et al 2014 ; Shiau and Chuang 2015 ; Schulte et al 2016 ; Kang and Kim 2017 ).…”
