Striving to become a knowledge-based nation is dependent upon the effective adoption, diffusion and implementation of ICT throughout the business community. The developing world markets, brought about by e-commerce and the increased ability to trade globally facilitated by e-markets, have created significant opportunities for Australian organisations. This research will produce a dynamic model that can be used to not only evaluate e-marketplace participation but a wide range of Internet applications. The research will provide Australian managers with the foundation of knowledge needed to guide and support their decision-making when implementing new technology.Read moreRead less

Post adoptive behavior in IT enabled work systems: Using multi-method research to study implementation of enterprise systems in a large organization. Massive investments are made by organizations to implement enterprise wide information systems (enterprise systems) but many have failed or lack expected benefits. Current research on user acceptance is limited as they do not consider post adoptive behaviour, when the main gains are to be made. Using mixed methods, a series of studies in four set ....Post adoptive behavior in IT enabled work systems: Using multi-method research to study implementation of enterprise systems in a large organization. Massive investments are made by organizations to implement enterprise wide information systems (enterprise systems) but many have failed or lack expected benefits. Current research on user acceptance is limited as they do not consider post adoptive behaviour, when the main gains are to be made. Using mixed methods, a series of studies in four settings of a multi national organization will be conducted. A new integrated model for post adoptive behaviour will be developed and tested to inform industry and the research community. The findings will provide guidance to effective training and change management in enterprise systems implementation. Read moreRead less
