About this title

Synopsis

Volume 23B includes two chapters covering problems and implementations of solutions in e-services adoption processes in developing nations. The first documents the unequal access and ICT usage, which is known as digital divide, to be one of the major obstacles to the implementation of e-government systems. This research investigates the digital divide and its direct impact on e-government system success of local governments in Indonesia as well as indirect impact through the mediation role of trust. To achieve a comprehensive understanding of digital divide, this study introduced a new type of digital divide, the innovativeness divide. It provides details for successful policy formulation to improve e-government readiness. The second explores what needs to be done to enable consumers to adopt e-services by airlines in developing nations. It includes new theory and empirical evidence from both qualitative and quantitative studies in response to this issue. Exciting and useful chapters for executives and researchers seeking knowledge and theory of how to influence e-service adoptions in developing nations!

Review

The two papers in volume 23B respond to concerns raised in volume 23A about the need for a better understanding of e-service adoption processes in developing nations. The first chapter surveys 819 Indonesian airline customers about online airline services, analyzes the resulting data, and tests hypotheses about motivation, intention, and demographics. The second chapter combines the Technology Acceptance Model with the Innovation Diffusion Theory to identify the antecedents for widespread adoption of the Octopus retail e-payment system in Hong Kong.
