Abstract

Purpose: This study examines the variations on Technology Adoption Factors, including the cultural aspects in both developing and developed countries for Internet of Things, as the Technology Adoption Factors are not common across the globe.Although much research has focused on the technical aspects of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, attention is still required regarding IoT applications, features, use cases, and behavioural aspects in the context of the consumption and perception of IoT services.Design/methodology/approach: In this research, an empirical study is undertaken to identify the factors that influence the adoption of IoT services, using a model based on the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology.Findings/results: A survey of 800 users was administered in the United States of America (USA) and India. Reliability Tests, Validity Tests and exploratory factor analysis were performed to find the presence of common method variance across both countries. The findings reveal the significance of several independent variables on the adoption of IoT services, namely perceived security risks, perceived trust, social influence, facilitating conditions, and performance expectancy.Practical implications: This research provides evidence that cultural aspects, social influence and facilitating conditions play a significant role. Illustrations of Airtel, Reliance Jio promotions in India and data-driven decision making from mayors of the USA included.Originality/value: The research reveals the variation in IoT adoption factors between India and the USA. There are unique variations involved per country that need to be considered for the effective adoption of IoT.

印度和美国物联网采用因素的差异

目的：本研究考察了物联网技术采用因素的变化，包括发展中国家和发达国家的文化方面，因为技术采用因素在全球范围内并不常见。尽管许多研究都集中在物联网（IoT）设备的技术方面，但在物联网服务的消费和感知背景下，仍然需要关注物联网应用、功能、用例和行为方面。设计/方法/方法：在本研究中，使用基于技术接受和使用统一理论的模型，进行了一项实证研究，以确定影响物联网服务采用的因素。调查结果/结果：在美利坚合众国（美国）和印度对800名用户进行了调查。进行了可靠性测试、有效性测试和探索性因素分析，以发现两国存在共同的方法差异。研究结果揭示了几个自变量对物联网服务采用的重要性，即感知的安全风险、感知的信任、社会影响、便利条件和绩效预期。实际意义：这项研究提供了证据，证明文化方面、社会影响和便利条件发挥了重要作用。包括Airtel、Reliance Jio在印度的促销活动以及美国市长的数据驱动决策。独创性/价值：研究揭示了印度和美国之间物联网采用因素的差异。为了有效采用物联网，每个国家都需要考虑独特的差异。

期刊介绍： The South African Journal of Business Management publishes articles that have real significance for management theory and practice. The content of the journal falls into two categories: managerial theory and management practice: -Management theory is devoted to reporting new methodological developments, whether analytical or philosophical. In general, papers should, in addition to developing a new theory, include some discussion of applications, either historical or potential. Both state-of-the-art surveys and papers discussing new developments are appropriate for this category. -Management practice concerns the methodology involved in applying scientific knowledge. It focusses on the problems of developing and converting management theory to practice while considering behavioural and economic realities. Papers should reflect the mutual interest of managers and management scientists in the exercise of the management function. Appropriate papers may include examples of implementations that generalise experience rather than specific incidents and facts, and principles of model development and adaptation that underline successful application of particular aspects of management theory. The relevance of the paper to the professional manager should be highlighted as far as possible.
