Promoters and inhibitors
Need to identify TT promoters and inhibitors.
Promoter is a person, technique or activity that accelerates technology adoption.
Inhibitor is a person, technique or activity that interferes with or prevents technology adoption.
Example: Rai (1995) surveyed IS managers about CASE tools. Perceptions depended on whether the technology was in its infancy, being tried for the first time, or was a mature candidate for adoption. Thus, maturity was a promoter.
