Thesis Topic
Motives behind the Adoption of Information Systems - Implications for Success
Thesis Description
My thesis investigates motives behind the adoption of information systems. The thesis was motivated by studies that show that IS adoption is often unsuccessful. Prior research has demonstrated that adoption success depends on two success determinants: the resources that are allocated to an adoption and the adoption approach. Nevertheless, two gaps remain. First, mixed empirical evidence on the success determinants suggests that there might be other factors that affect success. Second, it is not clear why firms choose particular resources and a particular adoption approach.
Prior studies in management research have shown that the motives behind a firm's activities influence the resources that are allocated to the activities, the approach how the activities are conducted, and the outcome of the activities. It can therefore be expected that an investigation of adoption motives can address the abovementioned gaps in IS adoption research. My thesis examines the effects of adoption motives on adoption resources, adoption approach, and success. Results will provide a new theoretical perspective on adoption success.
