| January 26 - User Acceptance of Mobile IT (A FIATECH Project) |
|
Presented by Neill Pawsey, Programme Manager, COMIT & Dr. Andrew May, Research Fellow, Loughborough University In order to provide business benefit, the increase of the acceptance and usage of new mobile technologies, within the construction industry, is needed. Key barriers and enablers to the adoption and diffusion of innovative mobile IT, and in particular to the "point of activity" worker, are being identified. By increasing the attractiveness of the industry to new entrants, particuarly graduates, further development of mobile technologies will flourish. FIATECH and COMIT have been working together over the last two years to better develop the understanding of these key issues. As such they have recently conducted a questionnaire and a series of transcribed interviews with key stakeholders in construction and technology organizations. This presentation will feedback the intial key results of this research. Comments (0)
