Influential Factors of VoIP Adoption of Top 500 Export-import Enterprises in Taiwan

Abstract

Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is a critical innovation technology in the globally oriented business world, which emphasizes flexibility and efficiency as means to reduce operation cost and improve service quality. Yet there is little research in the organization behavior literature investigating what factors affect enterprise decision to adopt VoIP. This study investigated significant determinants of VoIP adoption in the top 500 export-import enterprises in Taiwan. Logistic regression was used to examine four variables: top management support, environment competition, cost and business size. Specifically, the characteristic comparison of VoIP adopters and non-adopters were presented. We concluded by discussing weight ratio of VoIP adoption factor, characteristics of potential adopters and its managerial implications.

Data acquisition technologies for construction progress tracking

“…In view of the challenges related to site information tracking, several researchers have examined the use of various IT-based communication tools [20][21][22]. This includes multimedia tools (e.g.…”

“…digital camera and video), email services, voice-based tools, short message services (SMS), and handheld computing tools. Such low-cost tools have great potential to control project delays and cost overruns through improvement of communication [22]. A summary of the advantages and limitations of common tools in this category is shown in Table 2 and is discussed below.…”

“…Information technology (IT) -based communications are low-cost tools that have great potential to control project delays and cost overruns through improvement of communication (Liao and Tseng 2010). They include for example the multimedia tools (e.g.…”

Automated Development of Construction Schedules Using Onsite Data Acquisition

“…A group of tools which requires high level of user intervention has been investigated including multimedia (Abudayyeh, 1997), information and communication technologies such as voice and wireless (Sunkpho & Garrett, 2000;Tsai et al, 2007;Tsai, 2009;Liao & Tseng, 2010), hand-held tools (Tserng & Dzeng, 2005;T.Hegazy et al, 2008), and web-based tools (Cheung et al, 2004;Chassiakos & Sakellaropoulos, 2008). These research efforts had been mainly focused on the potential use of the tools, but they did not provide an automated solution for the project tracking and control.…”
