The euphoric technology void left by the dot-com crash in early 2000 soured many technology users; however mobile computing has provided much needed enthusiasm for both technologists and business users. In this chapter we focus on aspects of mobile technology, from both a business user perspective and a technology view point. Aspects such as total cost of ownership, return on investment and capital investment have been discussed from a financial perspective. Technical aspects of running and maintaining a mobile technology infrastructure have also been explored. The chapter concludes with a review of potential areas of application for mobile technology. The area discussed is mobile technologies in banking; however, many of the aspects covered could easily be applied to any other business vertical.Finally, this chapter is not meant to be a holy grail for mobile computing. It is simply a glimpse of the need to...

Historically this has been due to a lack of empirical evidence collected in developing countries and access to comparable examples of innovation. This situation results in the application of developed world ideas to innovation in the developing world. Whether and how the adoption of IT-enabled innovation in developing countries differs from developed countries therefore remains an unexplored question (World Bank 2008). This thesis therefore addresses two research questions: What are the patterns of IT-enabled innovation adoption in developed and developing countries? and How do they differ and why? To explore these questions, the thesis focuses on the IT-enabled innovation of services in the banking sector, specifically internet and mobile banking (IMB). The adoption of IMB occurred during the late 19...

We examine how mobility in a business can provide a competitive advantage and enhanced sustainability. Potential industry applications for mobile technology are discussed. We delve further by exploring the growth areas of mobile technologies and outline key success factors for the stakeholders in the mobile technology arena. We assess the many opportunities mobile technology brings to various businesses. Furthermore the impacts of mobile technology on organisations and society are evaluated. We then conclude by outlining various competing mobile technologies available to the market both today and in the future.

Historically this has been due to a lack of empirical evidence collected in 'developing' countries and access to comparable examples of innovation. This situation results in the application of developed world ideas to innovation in the developing world. Whether and how the adoption of IT-enabled innovation in developing countries differs from developed countries therefore remains an unexplored question (World Bank 2008). These findings bring into question the direct application in developing countries of innovation models and frameworks created through the study of innovations in developed countries, specifically of disruptive innovation. To explore this hypothesis the adoption of internet and mobile banking (IMB) in India and Australia are discussed. It was found that in India IMB satisfied an unmet customer need that had not previously existed in the form of banking (Christensen & Raynor 2003) and in the process disrupted traditional and informal finance methods. On the other hand, the adoption of IMB in Australia improved and sustained existing banking methods, providing greater efficiency. IT-enabled innovation appears to follow an opposite path in developed nations to that in developing nations driven by differences in consumer needs.
