Background of the Original Research
This entry was based on initial research undertaken in 2006 in Thailand by Kripanont (2007). It involved interviews and surveys of academics in Thai Public Universities with the aim of better understanding determinants of these academics’ acceptance and usage behavior regarding information and communication technologies (ICT). The original research was analyzed using a modified version of the technology acceptance model (TAM), along with the use of structured equation modeling (SEM), but this entry re-analyzes it in a quite different way through the use of a framework based on innovation translation and actor-network theory (ANT) (Tatnall 2013).
ICT, the Internet and Thai Universities
Thailand has a population of 69 million and Internet penetration of 43%, up from 17% in 2006 when the original research...
