Abstract. Using theories of technology acceptance and transfer, we identified factors affecting the use mobile information communication (mobile ICT) in least developed countries (LDCs), specifically sub‐Saharan Africa. From a literature review, research model to describe that impact ICT formulated series hypotheses about them. We then surveyed users Kenya Nigeria created structural examine our hypothesized relationships. Our findings indicate access ICT, cultural influences on diffusion,...
Telemedicine (health-care delivery where physicians examine distant patients using telecommunications technologies) has been heralded as one of several possible solutions to some the medical dilemmas that face many developing countries. In this study, we current state telemedicine in a country, India. brought plethora benefits populace India, especially those living rural and remote areas (constituting about 70% India's population). We discuss three Indian implementation cases, consolidate...
Recent years have witnessed the rapid development of IT outsourcing which entails collaboration among geographically distributed teams. Therefore, a good understanding performance virtual teams can largely contribute to practice. Taking into account three potential factors (task, technology, and time) that help manifest teams, authors designed three-week experiment involving eight face-to-face (FTF) at two major universities uncover aspects in under-perform. Results indicate mission clarity,...
This paper proposes and merges an extension of technology acceptance model with ideas from human development research targeting least developed countries. Specifically, the influence perceived user resource, which in turn was original TAM literature. It is also tied to Information Technology literature about socio-economic development. Our objective shed light on interactions between needs factors generally innate sub-Sahara Africa other developing countries that impede sustainable...
The diffusion and adoption of technologies such as information computer technology in resource-poor environments Ethiopia is driven more by physician attitude behavior. There are only 1,807 physicians Ethiopia. A seven-point Likert questionnaire was sent to 260 144 returned (55%). This effort endorsed the National Telemedicine Committee model used access individual behavior illustrates challenges faced adopt telemedicine. study (IT) individuals has taken two approaches, one emphasizing...
Abstract Department of Information Systems, Washington State University, Pullman, WA. E‐mail: pdatta@wsu.edu The authors examine the need and adoption teleophthalmology in sub‐Saharan Africa. Ethiopia, like most African countries, is faced with limited specialists health care services. These services are often concentrated urban areas, leaving rural population (about 70% country) without adequate timely delivery. In ratio ophthalmologists to 1:1,200,000, resulting inadequate delivery...
While Sub-Saharan African women have historically assumed the roles of both housewives and subsistence farmers, they had few opportunities to participate in modern economies region. However, this trend is changing with exponential growth information communications technologies (ICT), giving many Sub-Sahara access computers, Internet, other related technologies. Based on work a four-member research team from Kenya United States, article examines integration female college students into formal...
Abstract The digital divide between the West and Africa seems to be drawing closer for many northern southern African countries in terms of information communications technology. These are experiencing tremendous growth use computers, Internet connectivity, wireless other related technologies. However, same is not true Africa's Least Developed Countries (LDCs) that still greatly behind regions world level basic telecommunications infrastructure such as teledensity (number main telephone...
This paper gives an overview of core factors mitigating effective transfer TeleMedicine to Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) as a capability for improving the extremely poor state healthcare delivery systems in that region world. Using specific examples applications, such TeleRadiology and health education, highlights importance SSA. It then presents salient influence technology form conceptual framework. In explaining framework, offers opinions supportive arguments on significance identified...
Past research has shown that females have more negative attitudes toward engineering and technology than do males. These may explain the decreasing number of choosing technical careers. studies a change in learning environments methods by which takes place might foster this situation. A multimedia case study incorporating real-world problem faced power plant was developed order to provide new environment for business students. This investigates whether use material female male students led...
"Ever since my eye swelled up, I've gone to church pray for a cure...I always knew He would send way make me better---I just didn't know it was going be from London," says Anna Mobutsu, 23-year-old farm laborer, who cannot imagine journeying farther than bus ride her home in the small African town of Nelspruit. An illiterate single parent with 7-year-old and an elderly mother support on about $56 month, does not even own TV introduce world beyond own. "But this afternoon I went London" [2].
Given the documented benefits of telemedicine, especially in resource-constrained health-care contexts, we empirically examine factors they contribute to successful transfer telemedicine Sub-Saharan Africa. The results indicate that policies specific advancement ICT influence country's infrastructure and capabilities. Likewise, level nature health services sector impact capabilities country. Additionally, seems be more valued regions where resources for health-services provision are scarce,...
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to develop a framework for designing sustainable telemedicine information systems in developing countries. Design/methodology/approach Both quantitative and qualitative research methods were used. Primary data collected from two hospitals Uganda using self‐administered questionnaire an interview guide. Descriptive statistics used analyze survey data, while content analysis method was responses. developed based on Hevner et al. 's design science framework....
Organizations in developed countries such as the United States of America and Canada face difficulties challenges technology transfer from one organization to another; complexity problems easily compounds when transfers are attempted developing due differing socioeconomic cultural environments. There is a gap formation research education programs address issues that go beyond just transferring technologies sustaining for longer periods. This study examined telemedicine three Sub-Sahara...
