Pilvipalveluiden kustannusoptimointi pienissä ja keskisuurissa yrityksissä
2018
Pilvilaskenta on mullistava teknologia, joka on herättänyt viime vuosina merkittävää huomiota sekä tiede- että yritysmaailmassa. Pilvilaskenta mahdollistaa merkittävät hyödyt erityisesti yrityksille. Pilvilaskennan omaksumisen merkitys korostuu pienten ja keskisuurten yritysten tapauksessa, sillä ne kokevat merkittäviä haasteita liittyen rajoitettuihin resursseihin ja teknologiseen osaamiseen. Pilvilaskennan merkityksen kasvamisen vuoksi myös siihen liittyvien kustannusten optimoimisesta on tullut ajankohtaista ja merkityksellistä. Tässä tutkielmassa tutkitaan, kuinka pk-yritykset pyrkivät optimoimaan pilvipalveluihin liittyviä kustannuksiaan. Lisäksi tutkitaan pk-yritysten pilvipalvelukoke…
Age Differences in Technology Readiness and Its Effects on Information System Acceptance and Use : The Case of Online Electricity Services in Finland
2017
Although technology readiness (TR) has been found to influence the acceptance and use of information systems (IS), little is known about how TR varies in terms of different demographic variables and how these demographic variables moderate the effects of TR on IS acceptance and use. In this study, we aim to address this gap in prior research by examining the potential age differences in the four technology readiness index (TRI) constructs as well as their effects on IS use intention and its two main antecedents hypothesised in the technology acceptance model (TAM): perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use. The examination is conducted in the context of online electricity services and …
Consumer adoption of mobile technologies: a literature review
2015
Although the total number of mobile subscriptions reached 6.8 billion worldwide (ITU, 2013) confirming in the process that mobile technology is widespread, academic literature has so far focused only on explaining adoption of mobile technology and services. This literature review analyses 67 studies from the period 2005-2013 and finds the following: a) most studies are quantitative in nature and come from Asia; b) the Technology Acceptance Model is the most used theory; c) future research should also utilise qualitative methods and examine the behavioural outcomes of mobile adoption instead of simply adoption in consumer markets. peerReviewed
Students’ Perception of Cell Phones Effect on their Academic Performance: A Latvian and a Middle Eastern University Cases
2021
This study is unique in its attempt to combine the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) with external variables and the Information System Continuance Theory, in the context of mobile learning. It extends TAM with the external variables perceived mobility and perceived enjoyment. Mainly, students’ perception of cell phones effect on their academic performance is investigated. The study was conducted at two different universities—in Europe and the Middle East. Cell phone usage is analyzed from the perspective of mobile learning. The data in this study were collected from 103 students from the University of Latvia and 106 students from a Middle Eastern private American University. This study sho…

Abstract Background As virtual reality (VR) has become more accessible, it has increasingly come into focus for clinical application. Therapy with VR shows potential as an engaging, effective, and economic way to improve cognitive abilities following a stroke. Objectives While application of VR in clinical settings appears promising, its widespread use will crucially depend on acceptance of immersive head mounted display virtual reality (HMD-VR) systems when used in different patient groups. This study aimed to investigate acceptance of HMD-VR in stroke patients compared to a control group of healthy age-matched adults. Methods The attitude towards HMD-VR, as one of the most important predi…
Mobile Technology Adoption and the Effects of Cultural Factors
2019
Mobile technologies are an important part of human life in both the personal and professional realms. Many services (banking, news, health, education, etc.) that traditionally offered either face-to-face, telephone, or other conventional platforms and technologies are now establishing services on mobile platforms as well. Mobile gadgets are now also being used by company employees as sales automation tools. The importance of culture in technology adoption and usage has been well-established. The adoption of any technology includes a set of factors that determine if the technology is either accepted or rejected, and the individual strengths of these determining factors may vary greatly, depe…
