An Impact of Technological Adoption and Leadership in Data Analysis

Abstract

Technological adoption refers to the degree to which people adopt technology and innovations. Technological leadership refers to the concept that a leader increases the awareness about technology and innovations. E-government means the use of new technology in the provision of services provided and other information management systems from government to its citizens. The motive of this study is to identify the impact of technological adoption and technological leadership on the usage of an emerging concept, e-government in ASEAN countries. Other than that, two control variables i.e. literacy rate and population of a country have also been used for study purpose. Literature from the past is very significant in this regard and has been discussed in earlier section of the paper. The research has been conducted by collecting data about the concerned variables from various ASEAN countries for 30 years from. The application of several tests and approaches showed that the two major hypotheses of this study have been accepted. In addition, the impact of one control variable, literacy rate has also been accepted. However, the impact of other control variable i.e. population of the country has been rejected. This study is very important in theoretical, practical and policy making context.
