Produktbeschreibung

The growth of small-to-medium businesses can have a
detrimental impact on the efficiency of the employees
in executing internal business processes. In many
cases, particularly in this scenario, technology was
called upon to remedy the situation. Through a
canonical action research project, we investigated
and analysed the technology adoption and diffusion
issues that the professional construction management
team of a small-to-medium-sized construction company
was experiencing. During this action research
project, literature suggested technology adoption
issues, were confirmed. In addition new issues were
identified and analysed. By means of a conceptualized
figure, the changes in the understanding and
relationships among mobile computing adoption and
diffusion issues, experienced in this construction
company, were illustrated. This study concludes by
providing a theoretical framework that illustrates
the mobile computing adoption and diffusion issues,
as well as an explanation of significant issues that
should be considered in the endeavour of successful
mobile computing adoption and diffusion within a
small-to-medium-sized construction company, based in
Gauteng, South Africa.
