    As the core driving force of the new round of informatization development and the industrial revolution, the disruptive achievements of artificial intelligence (AI) are rapidly and comprehensively infiltrating into various fields of human activities. Although technologies and applications of AI have been widely studied, and factors that affect AI adoption are identified in existing literature, the impact of success factors on AI adoption remains unknown. Accordingly, the main study of this paper proposes a framework to explore the effects of success factors on AI adoption by integrating the technology, organization, and environment (TOE) framework and diffusion of innovation (DOI) theory. Particularly, this framework consists of factors regarding the external environment, organizational capabilities, and innovation attributes of AI. The framework is empirically tested with data collected by surveying telecom companies in China. Structural equation modeling is applied to analyze the data. The results indicate that compatibility, relative advantage, complexity, managerial support, government involvement, and vendor partnership are significantly related to AI adoption. Managerial capability impacts other organizational capabilities and innovation attributes of AI, but it is indirectly related to AI adoption. Market uncertainty and competitive pressure are not significantly related to AI adoption, but all the external environment factors positively influence managerial capability. The study provides support for firms\u27 decision-making and resource allocation regarding AI adoption. In addition, based on the resource-based view (RBV), this article conducts study 2 which explores the factors that influence the firm sustainable growth. Multiple regression model is applied to empirically test the hypotheses with longitudinal time-series panel data from telecom companies in China. The results indicate that at the firm level, the customer value and operational expenses are significantly related to sustainable growth. Also, at the industry level, industry investment significant impacts sustainable growth. Study 2 provides insights for practitioners the way to keep sustainable growth

The purpose of the study was to provide analysis and guidance for the planning and development of broadband improvement strategies. The study methodology was to gather and document broadband infrastructure and services information and to provide analysis and initiatives for moving forward, which will be used to support economic development and County broadband planning

    Digital Transformation

    The amount of literature on Digital Transformation is staggering—and it keeps growing. Why, then, come out with yet another such document? Moreover, any text aiming at explaining the Digital Transformation by presenting a snapshot is going to become obsolete in a blink of an eye, most likely to be already obsolete at the time it is first published. The FDC Initiative on Digital Reality felt there is a need to look at the Digital Transformation from the point of view of a profound change that is pervading the entire society—a change made possible by technology and that keeps changing due to technology evolution opening new possibilities but is also a change happening because it has strong economic reasons. The direction of this change is not easy to predict because it is steered by a cultural evolution of society, an evolution that is happening in niches and that may expand rapidly to larger constituencies and as rapidly may fade away. This creation, selection by experimentation, adoption, and sudden disappearance, is what makes the whole scenario so unpredictable and continuously changing.The amount of literature on Digital Transformation is staggering—and it keeps growing.

    Explaining US Cybersecurity Policy Integration Through a National Regime Lens

    Get PDF
    This research uses the Policy Regime Framework to analyze which of two policy ‎problems, US-China rivalry or IT/OT convergence, better explain degrees of coherence ‎and integration in the US cybersecurity regime. It explains how regime actors address and ‎negotiate these problems across the ICT and energy sectors. A process-tracing ‎methodology was used to track outcomes and explanatory factors, linking causal ‎mechanisms through an analysis of the Congressional record and in-depth stakeholder ‎interviews. The results indicate how the idea of Chinese ICTs as a Trojan horse for the ‎Chinese Community Party’s strategy was more effective than IT/OT convergence at ‎mobilizing interests and advancing coherent cybersecurity policy. Trade and ICT policies ‎were successfully integrated to achieve cybersecurity goals as regime interests bargained ‎to 'weaponize' critical trade interdependencies through the US competitive advantage in ‎the semiconductor industry. This research lends further validity to the Policy Regime ‎Framework in researching cross-sector-spanning policy problems in the ICT space ‎especially given recent calls for whole-of-government approaches to address emerging ‎strategic technologies.‎Ph.D
