What is Technology Adaptation

The goal of this article is to propose a new model based upon the conclusions of this review. We argue that there are no models available with sufficient explanatory power as network aspects, the role of recipients, and cross-border issues are not sufficiently taken into account. We propose therefore a number of guidelines for a new process-like model that should incorporate insights from previous models. Rather than viewing technology adoption as a single static snapshot, the new model should encompass a more continuous evaluation of the adoption process and should evaluate the service continuously throughout several phases in time. In order to address these issues, we developed a new holistic model that we hope, solves the points of attention named above.
