Title
A Comparative Study of the Effects of Culture on the Deployment of Information Technology
Abstract
Culture is thought to be the most difficult to isolate, define, and measure in the adoption and use of IT Information Technology Hassan & Ditsa, 1999. Consequently, the impact of culture on the adoption and use of IT does not feature prominently in Information Systems IS literature. As cultural factors are important to the success of IT adoption and use, this research paper examines culture's impact on the adoption and use of IT in the United Arab Emirates UAE. The results of the study were compared along eight cultural dimensions with a study on the adoption and use of IT in developing and developed countries. The results are also used to identify issues that concern the relationship of culture and IT and their implications for IT adoption and use in the UAE. The study results are further used to suggest ways of bridging the digital divide between the UAE and developed countries.
