“…Football fans were given a NFC mobile phone as an access device to enter the stadium and make payments for any purchase inside the stadium area. The results reported seem to be quite encouraging for further developments of NFC 2 . By looking at the recent developments in Switzerland, we recognized that the market is still very immature despite the growing interest in mobile payments.…”

“…Studying two-sided markets, such as electronic payment systems [9], from a stakeholders perspective is appropriate to get a better comprehension of the diffusion process [13]. In support of this view, Au and Kauffman studied the stakeholders side (including consumers, merchants and providers) using network externalities theory to study electronic billing adoption [1,2]. In light of the many past mobile payment system failures, there is a real need to analyze and understand what requirements are needed to succeed on this market ruled by uncertainty.…”

In this paper, we present an assessment of NFC (Near Field Communication) for future mobile payment systems. NFC is expected to become a very trendy technology for mobile services, more specifically for mobile payments. The objective of our paper is to evaluate in a systematic manner the potential of NFC as an upcoming technology for mobile payments. In order to ensure the rigor of our research, we used a formal and structured approach based on multi-actor multi-criteria methods. Our research provides one of the first assessment of NFC and a realistic picture of the current Swiss situation as we involved numerous mobile payment experts. Our findings show that Swiss industry experts are quite enthusiastic about the future of NFC.

This leads to the main research question posed in the present study: What are the factors that influence SMEs to adopt cloud ERP during the evaluation and trial stages?…”

Moving from Evaluation to Trial: How do SMEs Start Adopting Cloud ERP?

The advent of cloud technology involving low subscription overheads cost has provided small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with the opportunity to adopt new cloud-based corporate-wide systems (i.e., cloud ERP). This technology, operating through subscriptionbased services, has now provided SMEs with a complete range of IT applications that were once restricted to large organisations. As anecdotal evidences suggest, SMEs are increasingly adopting cloud-based ERP software. The selection of an ERP is a complex process involving multiple stages and stakeholders, suggesting the importance of closer examination of cloud ERP adoption in SMEs. Yet, prior studies have predominantly treated technology adoption as a single activity and largely ignored the issue of ERP adoption in SMEs. Understanding of the process nature of the adoption and the factors that are important in each stage of the adoption potentially may result in guiding SMEs to make well-informed decisions throughout the ERP selection process. Thus, our study proposes that the adoption of cloud ERP should be examined as a multi-stage process. Using the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) and Ettlie's adoption stages, as well as employing data gathered from 162 owners of SMEs, our findings show that the factors that influence the intention to adopt cloud ERP vary significantly across adoptive stages.

“…These results imply that the popularity of an IT innovation concept responds to the broader climate of business and relies on the Informational cascade theory, further, suggests that, when their private assessments of an innovation go against the weight of observed adoptions by others, prospective adopters may discount their own assessments and follow others to adopt the innovation (Bikhchandani et al, 1992;Walden and Browne, 2002). This "herd behavior" may be optimal because, according to the theory of rational expectations, the crowd's average expected value of the innovation may approach the true value (Au and Kauffman, 2003). Common across these economic-rationalistic studies is the primary emphasis on other organizations that are also adopters of the innovations.…”

Popular Concepts Beyond Organizations: Exploring New Dimensions of Information Technology Innovations.

The abundance of innovation concepts in the world of information technology and their differentiated influence on the design, production, and use of IT in organizations make it important that we understand what shapes these concepts themselves. Taking the perspective that an IT innovation concept emerges and evolves beyond organizational boundaries in a community, I argue that the prevalence or popularity of the concept in IT discourse positively influences the adoption of the underlying innovation. Then with the aim to explore what makes an IT innovation concept popular, my empirical analysis of the once highly popular concept ERP (enterprise resource planning) suggests that (1) the popularity of ERP was influenced positively by the prevalence of highlighted business problems that ERP was claimed to solve; (2) ERP's popularity was influenced negatively by the prevalence of related innovation concepts; and (3) these influences largely disappeared after ERP passed its peak popularity. These results imply that the popularity of an IT innovation concept responds to the broader climate of business and relies on the right type of attention drawn and released by other concepts in a network of concepts. Going beyond the dominant paradigm, this paper helps broaden IT innovation research along two new dimensions: toward the innovation concept, as a complement to material innovation, and toward community-level analysis, as an extension of the traditional organizational analysis. The paper also suggests that practitioners evaluate an innovation concept's fit with the broader environment and relationship with other popular concepts, as a way to make sense of the innovation and anticipate its impact on IT practice.
