Bangladeshi ready‐made garment development via ubiquitous and mobile computing

Publisher: Wiley

Date: 22-01-2021

DOI: 10.1002/ISD2.12170

Abstract: Little is known about mobile‐based information system (hereafter MbUS) affordances in the manufacturing sector, particularly in the Bangladeshi ready‐made garment (hereafter RMG) industry ‐ the major contributor to the national economy. However, the sector faces challenges in communication, worker disempowerment, and long lead times to produce finished goods. Research suggests that MbUS has potential development impact to improve communication, co‐ordination, and empowerment. This study narrows the gap through utilizing affordance theory as a theoretical lens to examine MbUS affordance applied to Bangladeshi RMGs. Using 39 interviews, this research explores five MbUS affordances ‐ connectivity, mobility, agility, empowerment and governance, and their relationship to Bangladeshi RMGs. Furthermore, we identify empowerment as a crucial affordance rarely identified in prior RMG literature. Our findings have potential value to RMGs, government, and mobile telecommunications.

Exploring the factors influencing Mobile-based Ubiquitous System adoption in the Bangladesh RMG sector: A view through DOI and TOE

Publisher: Wiley

Date: 29-08-2023

DOI: 10.1002/ISD2.12291

Abstract: Relatively little is known about micro‐ and macro‐level determinants of mobile phone ubiquitous system (MbUS) adoption by the manufacturing industry, such as is the case with the ready‐made garment (RMG) industry in Bangladesh. This research closes this gap, by presenting the adoption factors of MbUS in RMGs through applying the Rogers' Diffusion of Innovation theory and technology, organization, environment framework, to explore in idual, technological, organizational, and environmental determinants of MbUS adoption. The study also reports on critical country level‐factors, organizational success factors and obstacles in MbUS adoption in RMGs. A qualitative method using interviews with the ready‐made garment (RMG) factory owners, managers, employees, and IT experts, suggests technological readiness, easily understandable MbUS technology, RMG capability, government intervention, and a supportive regulatory environment, were found to be macro‐level determinants of successful MbUS adoption. A survey was also conducted to explore the micro‐level customer‐centric factors, which found the relative advantages of MbUS, cost, the age of user's ( p 0.000), and influence on intention to use MbUS. This paper also identifies MbUS as a technical solution for time‐critical information in RMGs, the competitive environment of RMGs, empowerment opportunities and countrywide demands to improve the RMG situation, are important adoption factors of MbUS rarely identified in prior literature. The findings will be of value to RMGs, government, and MbUS developers, to accelerate development of MbUS in Bangladesh. Furthermore, the findings have implications for other developing countries by improving the capacity of RMGs, while realizing their own development goals through mobile technologies.

Aiming Sustainable Transportation Utilizing Social Capital: A Perspective of Mobile Car Park App

Publisher: Hindawi Limited

Date: 21-10-2022

DOI: 10.1155/2022/5606833

Abstract: The mobile car parking (MCP) app provides users to locate a car park and park his/her car, which is expected to contribute to sustainable transportation. Previous mobile phone-based studies have also advocated that mobile apps create a social network among the users. However, MCP studies have yet not addressed the notion of such social capital which is expected to contribute to the sustainable transportation in a city. MCP, in fact, can also create a communication network among car owners, drivers, and car park owners and offer a unique base for studying social capital and resource utilization opportunities. To reduce the gap in existing studies, in this study, an android-based MCP app was developed as a tool to study the components of social capital. After developing the MCP app, two focus group studies were conducted to explore the components an MCP app can provide. Lastly, we linked the social capital components to the sustainable transportation goals. This research pinpointed several social capital components that are addressable to sustainable transportation, including information exchange, communication, connectedness, time-saving capabilities, mobility, coordination, plan-based journeys, and an opportunity to generate income from the social network. Moreover, very few studies have reported that social capital empirically contributes to time-saving capabilities, mobility, sustainable transportation through improved coordination in car parking management, and improved journey based on car parking decisions which are new contributions to social capital. This research is significant, as most of the mobile-based social capital research concentrated on bonding, bridging, and networking among social network members. However, this research has expanded the components of social capital in many directions. Furthermore, from the research methodological perspective, this research adopts a new approach through a combination of experimental research and focus group study.
