The Eco-System of Firm Technology Adoption

Abstract

This chapter accounts for the development of a novel eco-system-oriented model of examining firm-level technology adoption, the Firm Technology Adoption Model (F-TAM). This study relies on an analysis of previous studies to examine their implications on the birth of F-TAM. It also reports on the innovative eco-system of how factors relate to a sustainable digitized business. Findings are relational propositions that scholars could test in any digitized economic context. The findings will help business owners and governments to understand how every action they take affects the eco-system of innovations, and channel their energies to train and equip their personnel and processes that ensure the sustainability of the eco-system. This study points to the interconnection of the different adoption units and makes proposals for the sustainability of the eco-system. This model, therefore, sets forth a plethora of agenda for further research.
