“…However, whilst the blog was regarded as a success by all who participated, it could be said that whilst the knowledge shared was insightful and provoked further debate, there was a potential for a lack of reliability and validity. Blogs allow both novices and experts to make contributions with little or no authorisation, and potentially with little or no proof of identity (Chang & Yang, 2013;Du & Wagner, 2006). There was no proof that the comments were made by events managers.…”

“…However, whilst the blog posts are a successful facilitator of knowledge exchange, it could be argued that the knowledge shared through the blog may have provoked further research and curiosity, there is a potential lack of reliability. Both novice and professional contributors have the potential to influence opinions with little or no authorisation, and with no proof of identity or intent (Chang & Yang, 2013).…”

To encourage greater awareness of responsible events, a group of final year Events Management students based in a UK Higher Education institution researched a range of contemporary issues affecting the events industry. The results were presented as an interactive online blog to facilitate an exchange of knowledge with peers and event professionals. Although limitations to the approach are identified and discussed, the evidence suggests that this is an effective learning strategy that encourages debate beyond the university classroom and enables a greater awareness of the need to create and manage events responsibly.

“…There may be interesting findings in terms of the different cultures and lifestyles among countries (Chang and Yang 2013) affecting people's adoption results. We suggest that future studies could conduct in-depth investigations of cross-cultural comparison on the relationships between habits and blog adoption among different countries and occupations.…”

“…Blogging features highlight the many attributes that make them beneficial for use in different areas such as business (Tredinnick 2006), medicine (Chretien, Goldman, and Faselis 2008), the communication medium (Chang and Yang 2013), and education (Tang, Tang, and Chiang 2014). Therefore, it is necessary to explore ways of encouraging individuals to blog so that they can contribute in different areas.…”

Blogs are one of the most widely used Internet applications; however, there is a lack of attention paid to understanding blog adoption with respect to individual reading/writing habits. This paper, therefore, investigates how individual reading and writing habits contribute to blog adoption. A survey was conducted in order to understand the relationship between an individual's reading and writing habits, in terms of reading/writing attitude and reading/writing behavioural patterns, and the adoption of blogs. A total of 210 blog users participated in the study. Hypotheses were tested and data were analysed using multiple regression analysis and logistic regression analysis. The results revealed that reading and writing habits are a significant predictor of blog adoption. Furthermore, based on Rogers' diffusion of innovation theory, this study also investigated whether people's habitual characteristics (i.e. heavy and light) have some sort of relationship with the stage of blog adoption (i.e. earlier and later). A subsequent analysis showed that people with a heavier reading habit group tended to adopt at an earlier stage, while this consequence was absent in those with heavier writing habits groups.

“…(Sitkin et al, 1992) Empirical evidence of DCM is scarce. Although some citations exist (e.g., Stephens & Davis, 2009;Chang & Yang, 2012), evidence for the entire model has not been published so far. The relevance of this model to this research can be found in the addition of especially the communication capability constraints and normative contingencies.…”
