The Adoption of the Compact Disk Player: An Event History Analysis for the Netherlands

The compact disk (CD) player was one of the major audio innovations of the 1980s in the Netherlands. For studies of the temporal and social diffusion pattern of the CD player and the compact disks, both cultural and economic theories about innovations and music consumption are available. In this paper, these theories are combined in six working hypotheses concerning earlier adoption. The empirical analysis includes both time-invariant and time-varying variables and consumer characteristics. Event history analysis, the technique used in this article, enables one to incorporate these kinds of variables simultaneously in a dynamic model. Compared with the diffusion models usually employed by means of longitudinal analysis, event history analysis is a significant improvement in studying the development of the CD market in the Netherlands.     

农技成果转化主体多元化与农户技术响应研究——以甘肃省为例

基于甘肃省农户调查资料,分析农户对科技成果转化认知及不同农技成果转化主体行为对农户技术响应的影响。结果表明,农户对科技与其成果转化认知大相径庭,公共渠道成为农户获取技术信息的主要来源,具有明显的自发性和分散性特征,技术信息供给不充分,科技到户的"最后一公里"问题依旧突出。以农技推广机构为主导,科研单位、涉农企业、农民合作社参与的多元化新型农技成果转化模式逐步形成,但各种技术服务不能满足农户需求。新型农技成果转化主体数量少、带动能力弱,农技推广机构仍将是未来农技成果转化最重要主体,但合作社发展潜力巨大并将发挥重要作用。解决农产品"销售难"与提升自身市场竞争力成为农户赋予不同农技成果转化主体共同愿望与诉求,农户生产经营理念正由传统生产经营向现代农业转变。以农技推广机构为培训主体,以技术指导为主的单一的农户技术服务方式导致农技成果转化率低,效果差,农户技术服务方式亟待改善。     

Building a Digital Library: What to Expect as a Technology Project Manager on a Library Construction Project

Column Editor's Note. This JLA column posits that academic libraries and their services are dominated by information technologies, and that the success of librarians and professional staff is contingent on their ability to thrive in this technology-rich environment. The column will appear in odd-numbered issues of the journal, and will delve into all aspects of library-related information technologies and knowledge management used to connect users to information resources, including data preparation, discovery, delivery and preservation. Prospective authors are invited to submit articles for this column to the editor at kenning.arlitsch@montana.edu.

The Taylor Family Digital Library is the central library opened in 2011 at the University of Calgary dedicated to supporting digital scholarship, creativity, analysis and a supportive learning environment for students. The new building is a technologically advanced converged cultural institution, with mandates to continually evolve in order to meet the needs of students and researchers. The infrastructure to support these mandates required research, collaboration and intense planning, resulting in new construction and technology standards for library renovation and construction projects. This pragmatic article is written for those who will follow in similar footsteps; it provides a roadmap for those embarking on the construction of a new technologically advanced library building.     

Understanding the Internet banking adoption: A unified theory of acceptance and use of technology and perceived risk application

Understanding the main determinants of Internet banking adoption is important for banks and users; our understanding of the role of users’ perceived risk in Internet banking adoption is limited. In response, we develop a conceptual model that combines unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) with perceived risk to explain behaviour intention and usage behaviour of Internet banking. To test the conceptual model we collected data from Portugal (249 valid cases). Our results support some relationships of UTAUT, such as performance expectancy, effort expectancy, and social influence, and also the role of risk as a stronger predictor of intention. To explain usage behaviour of Internet banking the most important factor is behavioural intention to use Internet banking.     

21世纪国内外农业创新采用研究的知识图谱分析

对农业创新采用领域知识演化历程及趋势进行可视化分析。以中国知网数据库和WoS核心数据库为文献源,以2000—2020年农业创新采用领域文献为研究对象,借助SATI、Gephi及CiteSpace软件构建知识图谱,系统分析国内外农业创新采用研究的文献特征、核心力量、合作网络及研究热点。结果显示：（1）农业创新采用领域的文献产出呈指数增长态势,国内文献增长速度较快但规模稍逊;农业科学、经济学、管理科学和资源科学等多学科交叉特征明显,《中国农村经济》和Agricultural Economics是代表性刊物。（2）美国是该领域的领先国;农业院校和科研机构是主要力量;Qaim M和张俊飚是高产作者。（3）国家合作网络以美国、德国、澳大利亚等国为核心,国外机构、作者合作网络发达且联系紧密,国内机构、作者合作网络松散且互动不足。（4）事前评估、决策行为及事后评价是主要议题,国外研究日臻成熟但深入空间有限,国内研究日趋全面但仍需突破创新。（5）国外研究呈现视角纵深化、方法创新化、技术集成化的发展趋势,国内研究虽已呈现视角拓展化、方法多样化、主体多元化的发展态势,但整体仍滞后于国外,研究深度及广度有待...

e-Government stakeholders—Who are they and what do they want?

There is an increasing recognition that various stakeholder groups for e-government have a significant role to play in ensuring the long-term success of the e-government enterprise. This article seeks to contribute to the understanding of the stakeholders’ multiple perspectives by proposing typologies of stakeholder roles, and stakeholder benefits, respectively, and embedding these in a stakeholder benefits analysis tool. A literature review is used to surface the diverse existing categorizations of e-government stakeholders and their interests and the benefits sought. This review informs a proposal for a typology of stakeholder roles, and for a typology of stakeholder benefits, which together are used to construct an initial proposal for a stakeholder benefits analysis tool (SBAT), which can be used to map stakeholder roles to stakeholder benefits. This tool has been tested by an expert group, and revised. This exploratory study is an important first step towards the development of tools and approaches for understanding the benefits sought by a wide range of different stakeholder groups in e-government. Progress in the development of such tools is important for the development of knowledge and practice, policy, and evaluation with respect to stakeholder engagement with, and participation in, e-government.     

性格理论视角下的信息系统用户使用影响因素研究

用户动因一直是信息系统领域的研究热点。从用户对信息系统的初期采纳到持续使用,一系列的理论模型被提出并得到了检验。性格作为反映用户个体特质的最重要的一个方面,近年来得到了社会心理学、市场营销等领域的关注,然而在信息系统领域关注较少。本文选择技术接受与使用统一模型与信息系统持续使用模型作为反映用户初期采纳和后期持续使用动因的典型模型,试图将性格五因素理论与这两个模型相整合,以深入理解不同用户性格特质对于用户信息系统使用的影响。

劳动力外出务工对农户水土保持技术采用的影响——基于集体行动参与的中介效应

在农村劳动力转移的趋势下,黄土高原农户在时间禀赋恒定条件下的劳动力配置逐渐成为采用水土保持技术的关键因素,探究二者关系对于提高技术采用率、减少水土流失、改善生态环境具有重要意义。本文利用黄土高原区1197份农户的调查数据,使用Probit模型,主要考察了农户劳动力外出务工行为及时间长短对水土保持技术采用的影响,进一步运用逐步检验法,检验了农户参与集体行动对外出务工影响水土保持技术采用的中介效应。研究结果表明：①总体上,劳动力外出务工会促进其水土保持技术的采用。但异质性分析表明,随着劳动力外出务工时间延长,农户对农业收入依赖性降低,削弱了农户水土保持技术的采取。②农户参与村集体行动是劳动力转移影响农户水土保持技术采用行为的渠道之一,具有部分中介效应,证实了集体行动模式在水土保持技术应用推广中的价值。此外,农业经营决策者的受教育程度、务农年限与农户家庭的邻里互助、技术改善认知以及政府的技术推广活动均对农户的水土保持技术采用行为具有显著的正向影响。本文不仅提供了劳动力转移趋势下水土保持技术扩散的研究证据,对健全村集体行动以促进技术采用也具备一定的经验价值。
