摘要

数字化正在改变全球的物流业务。然而,低收入国家继续面临重大的采用障碍,包括有限的基础设施和资源。在埃塞俄比亚,由于技术整合不足,供应链仍然效率低下。技术接受模型(TAM)已经被一些研究者用来解释技术的使用和采用。然而,这一框架很少应用于低收入国家的数字物流。本研究实证调查了埃塞俄比亚供应链中利益相关者使用TAM修改版本采用数字技术的意图。数据是通过对物流专业人员的广泛调查收集的。结果表明,除了感知有用性和易用性之外,基础设施可用性、人力资源能力、技术可及性和支持性政策等外部因素也显著影响利益相关者采用数字技术的意愿。该研究强调了提高认识举措和制定数字战略的重要性,以支持低收入国家成功的数字化转型。这些发现为寻求更好地理解技术采用、用户感知和有利条件之间关系的政策制定者和实践者提供了有价值的见解。

The technology acceptance model for digitalised logistics in low-income countries: The case of Ethiopia
Digitalisation is transforming logistics operations worldwide. However, low-income countries continue to face significant barriers to adoption, including limited infrastructure and resources. In Ethiopia, supply chains remain inefficient due to inadequate technological integration. The technology acceptance model (TAM) has been used by several researchers to explain the usage and adoption of technologies. However, this framework has rarely been applied to digital logistics in the context of low-income countries. This study empirically investigated the intention of stakeholders in Ethiopian supply chains to adopt digital technologies using a modified version of TAM. Data were collected through an extensive survey of logistics professionals. The results indicated that, beyond perceived usefulness and ease of use, external factors such as infrastructure availability, human resource capacity, technological accessibility and supportive policies, significantly influence stakeholders' intention to adopt digital technologies. The study emphasises the importance of awareness-raising initiatives and the development of digital strategies to support successful digital transformation in low-income countries. These findings offer valuable insights for policymakers and practitioners seeking to better understand the relationship between technology adoption, user perceptions and enabling conditions.

期刊介绍: Research in Transportation Business & Management (RTBM) will publish research on international aspects of transport management such as business strategy, communication, sustainability, finance, human resource management, law, logistics, marketing, franchising, privatisation and commercialisation. Research in Transportation Business & Management welcomes proposals for themed volumes from scholars in management, in relation to all modes of transport. Issues should be cross-disciplinary for one mode or single-disciplinary for all modes. We are keen to receive proposals that combine and integrate theories and concepts that are taken from or can be traced to origins in different disciplines or lessons learned from different modes and approaches to the topic. By facilitating the development of interdisciplinary or intermodal concepts, theories and ideas, and by synthesizing these for the journal''s audience, we seek to contribute to both scholarly advancement of knowledge and the state of managerial practice. Potential volume themes include: -Sustainability and Transportation Management- Transport Management and the Reduction of Transport''s Carbon Footprint- Marketing Transport/Branding Transportation- Benchmarking, Performance Measurement and Best Practices in Transport Operations- Franchising, Concessions and Alternate Governance Mechanisms for Transport Organisations- Logistics and the Integration of Transportation into Freight Supply Chains- Risk Management (or Asset Management or Transportation Finance or ...): Lessons from Multiple Modes- Engaging the Stakeholder in Transportation Governance- Reliability in the Freight Sector
