The Technology–Organization–Environment Framework

Dynamics of Blockchain Implementation - A Case Study from the Energy Sector

“…Similarly, critics of TOE state, that the flexibility of the framework is gained at the expense of accuracy. To address this, the incorporation of network externalities, described for instance in [37] has been suggested by [1]. In order to supplement the shortcomings of DOI and TOE as well as to address (d), we took on an economic perspective on blockchains as suggested by [15], drawing on seminal works in the field of institutional and information economics such as [6] and [37], considering network externalities and rent-seeking behavior.…”

“…The emphasis on technology characteristics in the DOI theory equates with the categorization of technology in the TOE framework [1]. The interviews exhibited three codes linked to technology characteristics.…”

The potential of computer-mediated internships for higher education

“…However, the extent to which such general perception shifts are likely to occur is partly depended on the technical expertise, environmental pressures and organizational pressures faced by employer organizations (Baker, 2012). In addition, regional differences may arise because key factors, such as the geographical size of a country, as well as the degree of technological growth within that country, are likely to play an important role in the extent to which CMIs are embraced by HEPs and employers alike (see Jeske and Axtell, 2016a).…”

A Taxonomy of Factors Influencing Drop-Out Behaviour in Living Lab Field Tests

“…In order to tackle this problem and integrate the impacts of socio-technical theory within the area of IT-system development, we found the technology-organization-environment (TOE) framework (Depietro et al, 1990) suitable because it has been developed to link information system innovation with contextual factors, and it enables us to address the development process of IT innovations in open systems (Chau & Tam, 1997). In addition, the TOE model has broad applicability and possesses explanatory power across a number of technological, industrial, and national/cultural contexts (Baker, 2012). Furthermore, it can be extended to settings for examining and explaining different innovation modes (Song et al, 2009).…”
