The Way of Expanding Technology Acceptance—Open Innovation Dynamics

Abstract

To promote efficient use of electrical energy, technology-based solutions, along with their corresponding user acceptance assessments, have been seen to facilitate goal fulfillment concerning desired functionality and expected benefits, in an open innovation fashion. This paper simultaneously develops an electrical energy consumption monitoring system (EECMS) device that shall monitor and control the use of energy in real-time and assesses its acceptability to users according to the extended technology acceptance model (TAM) approach. This proposed EECMS device is tested in an academic institution in the Philippines, and it is found that the device can function as desired as well as render a significant favor from its users according to additional key constructs. As such, future developments of the device are encouraged to enhance key constructs identified as suitable for future adoption.

Digital Transformation and Strategy in the Banking Sector: Evaluating the Acceptance Rate of E-Services

“…It is seen that, on the one hand, workers accept the new data in the digital economy (entry of new alternative providers, e.g., viva wallet, opap wallet, N26, Revolut); on the other hand, there is an apparent risk of shrinking banking operations and intense banking competition in the domestic market. They do not leave much room for employees to oppose the new data [68][69][70][71][72][73]. This is reflected in the survey results, as the majority of the employees show that they accept the latest data, and it is not harmful to accept the new methods and practices of digital banking.…”

Innovation Vouchers and the Sustainable Growth of High-Tech SMEs: Evidence from China

“…Innovation vouchers are becoming an important strategic choice for governments to provide strong incentives for high-tech SMEs to improve their R&D activities and innovation [4,53]. These credit notes allow high-tech SMEs to purchase innovation consultant services and collaboration services from universities or institutions that provide knowledge-intensive services.…”

Influence of COVID-19 Pandemic on Dissemination of Innovative E-Learning Tools in Higher Education in Poland

“…Business models have also recently been a subject for research related to the pandemic; for example, they refer to the COVID-19 crisis [ 65 ], mobile market during COVID-19 [ 13 ], COVID-19 transformation of an urban public transport system [ 66 ], management after COVID-19 [ 67 ], and identification of digital transformation paths in the business model of SMEs during the COVID-19 pandemic [ 68 , 69 ]. When it comes to Industry 4.0 and innovations, many scientists are carrying out studies on the competitiveness and effectiveness of an open business model in Industry 4.0 [ 70 , 71 , 72 , 73 , 74 ], enhancing creative intensity and profit on the open-source digital platforms [ 75 , 76 ], evolution of technology [ 77 , 78 ], expanding technology acceptance [ 79 ], and many more topics—also referring to responsible research and innovation [ 80 ]. Open innovation in education has also been the preferred field of research in recent years [ 81 , 82 , 83 ].…”
