A Model of Consumer Eservice Adoption Within Dubai School of Information Systems A model of consumer eService adoption within Dubai Gregory Phillip Kelaart-Courtney This thesis is presented for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Curtin University of Technology March 2010 DECLARATION To the best of my knowledge and belief this thesis contains no material previously published by any other person except where due acknowledgment has been made. This thesis contains no material which has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma in any university. Signature: …………………………………………. Date: ………………………... i ABSTRACT This study will create a model to determine the level of adoption of eServices (consisting of eCommerce and eBanking) within Dubai, an Emirate within the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and how this adoption has been influenced by an individual’s exposure to an ‘Emerging and Developing Economy’ and/or an ‘Advanced Economy’. The study investigates the ‘enablers’ and ‘inhibitors’ for individuals belonging to the Emerging and Developing Economies, Advanced Economies and a hybrid of the two. Lastly, for those individuals who do partake in eServices the researcher also identifies similar trends and differences in usage patterns between Dubai and Advanced Economy countries and regions such as the United States (US), Canada, United Kingdom (UK) and Western Europe. This research utilises a positivist methodological approach in the collection and analyses of the primary data vital to achieving the aforementioned aims surrounding the adoption of eServices within Dubai. Two anonymous research instruments, online questionnaires, were distributed to potential respondents, firstly in 2005, and then a more advanced version in 2008. Both research instruments were distributed throughout Dubai via social networking sites, expatriate website groups, multi-national companies’ HR departments, Dubai Government organisations and several Emirati only and mixed nationality universities, to both faculty and students. The research instrument posed questions covering demographics, cultural exposure, Internet usage, eServices usage, enablers and inhibitors of eServices usage, eServices companies utilised, goods and services purchased and security considerations. The primary data was captured in an online database. The following statistical tests and reports were created using SPSS, frequency tables, descriptive analysis, correlation tests, F- tests, T-tests; and, ANOVA tests. Microsoft Excel was used to convert this statistical data into table and graphical form. Arising from the statistical analyses and observations made during the course of this research, a model has been designed to determine the influence of cultural exposure on the adoption of eServices within a society rapidly moving from the ‘agrarian age’ to the ‘information age’ (Reigeluth & Garfunkle, 1994). This model utilised correlations to assess whether there is a significant relationship between cultural exposure and the eCommerce and eBanking variables. Additionally, it has assessed the relationship between each of the four components of cultural exposure, these being: the region of the last educational institute studied at; the region of citizenship at birth; the region of birth; and the current region of citizenship. The cultural exposure variable was determined separately for both eBanking and eCommerce over the two data collection periods, by computing a weighted average for each component of cultural exposure. This was performed to differentiate the four factors and Page ii provide a continuous range. Additionally, t-tests were utilised to determine whether the answers to specific questions differed between those using eBanking and those not, and F- tests to determine whether those who answered Likert-scale questions had differential answers based on the Likert-scale value for each question. The individual components of cultural exposure all had strongly significant correlations with each other. With regard to the main hypotheses, every aforementioned cultural exposure variable had a significant relationship with eCommerce, with only current region of citizenship being correlated with eBanking. The study assessed the hypotheses designed to determine the relationship between cultural exposure and its four culturally related components when tested against the 2008 primary data set and its interrelationship between cultural exposure and its potential influence in the adoption of eBanking and eCommerce. With regard to the main hypotheses, every cultural exposure variable had a significant relationship with eCommerce, except for region of birth. The findings and analysis made throughout this research provide varying levels of benefits for eService organisations, governments and future researchers. eServices organisations will now have access to comprehensive statistical analyses, providing them with insight into the enablers and inhibitors of eServices within Dubai and/or an Emerging and Developing Economy that shows the same traits as Dubai. These organisations can also benefit from the analysis conducted surrounding the cultural aspects, in particular the ‘innovators’, ‘early adopters’, ‘early majority’, ‘late majority’ or ‘laggards’ (Rogers, 1995) and eServices usage patterns in Dubai. With this information, these eServices organisations can refine their existing business plans and redevelop their marketing strategies to target a particular demographic or product range. Governments who wish to transcend from either an agrarian, pre-industrial, or industrial society to the information age can use the approach and findings of this research in the evaluation of their community’s level of technology adoption. This research will also empower government sponsored academic institutes to change their current education curricula to assist their populace in making the necessary changes to their current mindset and philosophies, so that the transition to the information age is more efficiently managed (Reigeluth & Garfunkle, 1994). There has been an extensive amount literature produced in relation to technology adoption, such as the Diffusion of Technology (Rogers, 1995), Theory of Reasoned Action (Fishbein & Ajzen, 1975), Technology Acceptance Model (Davis, 1989), Technology adoption lifecycle (Brown & Venkatesh, 2003) and Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (Venkatesh, Morris, Davis, & Davis, 2003), to name but a few. However, previous literature focused on Emerging and Developing Economies, while informative and insightful, failed to Page iii explore all aspects of eServices and its potential within these environments. This study sought to address that omission. As such, it provides a foundation for future analysis into eServices and technology adoption within Dubai, the Middle East and, potentially, all Emerging and Developing Economies. Page iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ‘It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the most responsive to change’ (Darwin, 1835). I would like to acknowledge and wholeheartedly thank the following people, who without their support, friendship and love, this thesis would not be here today: Associate Professor Helen Armstrong, for lighting the spark of knowledge within me, and then pouring fuel on it. She nurtured me through this research with a guiding hand, to drawing the best out of me by helping me to clarify my thoughts and provided me a realistic roadmap throughout my studies. Helen has always showed great enthusiasm and a keen interest all the way through this study and provided the encouragement and support required for me to continue to move forward. There are two people who I have had both the pleasure and honour of having as my mentors over the last few years. The first, Sreeram Visvanathan, has been more than my mentor for the past six years, he is also one of my most dearest and respected friends. Sreeram has given me considerable guidance and support throughout this research. The second is Dr Stefan Hild, who provides clarity when there is none and his depth of understanding of the ‘lay-of-the-land’ as things unfold is uncanny and insightful. I am both fortunate and privileged to call these gentleman friends, one thing they have in common is that without their foresight, guidance and unrelenting support, I would not be where I am today, and for this I am eternally grateful. As a technical leader, I have had the honour of learning at the feet of two distinguished IBM technical executives, this being Chris Winter, IBM Fellow, and Hugh Varilly, Distinguished Engineer. With their guidance and patience, one day I hope to follow in their footsteps. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Professor Fred D. Davies, David D. Glass Chair and Department Chair, Information Systems at the Sam M. Walton College of Business at the University of Arkansas, and Professor Viswanath Venkatesh, George and Boyce Billingsley Chair in Information Systems at the Sam M. Walton College of Business at the University of Arkansas. Both were very generous in providing their original theses and past papers on technology adoption. Finally, I would like to offer my most sincere appreciation to my wife and soul mate, Lisa, whose support, advice and inspiration throughout this study has never waned, and of course our little Minxy Moo who was born in the middle of an academic hailstorm and has blessed us with her presence and zeal for the last two years. I am blessed that both of the women in my life share my thirst for knowledge, and have been more than willing

  • Storebackup 3.5.1
    StoreBackup 3.5.1 https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/storebackup January 27, 2020 1 Super Quick Start StoreBackup is a very space efficient disk-to-disk backup suite for GNU/Linux and other unixoid systems. Additional details and help are provided in later sections of this document. In these brief quick start steps we make certain simplifying assumptions. If you are OK with that, then proceed as follows: 1. Download the source from https://download.savannah.nongnu.org/releases/storebackup/ 2. Unpack it (using tar -jxvf) into /opt (it will make the folder /opt/storeBackup.)1 3. Create symbolic links. In a terminal, run these 2 commands (the 2nd line ends with: space,dot): # cd /usr/local/bin # ln -s /opt/storeBackup/bin/* . 4. Run your first backup with this command (substituting your actual username in the command):2 storeBackup.pl --sourceDir /home/your_username --backupDir /tmp/my_master_backup This may take a while. Open a second shell and see what happens in the backup directory. You have now backed up your home directory to /tmp/my master backup. For more details, please continue reading; especially see installation, section 2 and storeBackup.pl, section 6.2. If the above steps gave you any challenges, don’t worry. This document will cover everything from storeBackup installation to NFS server settings in much more detail. See storeBackup’s Top Features on the next page 1You need root permissions to install storeBackup at /opt/storeBackup and to follow the next steps. You can also unpack and run storeBackup from a place where you do not have root permissions.

Box 5800 Albuquerque, New Mexico 87185 4 Abstract The Dakota toolkit provides a flexible and extensible interface between simulation codes and iterative analysis methods. Dakota contains algorithms for optimization with gradient and nongradient-based methods; uncertainty quantification with sampling, reliability, and stochastic expansion methods; parameter estimation with nonlinear least squares methods; and sensitivity/variance analysis with design of experiments and parameter study methods. These capabilities may be used on their own or as components within advanced strategies such as surrogate- based optimization, mixed integer nonlinear programming, or optimization under uncertainty. By employing object-oriented design to implement abstractions of the key components required for iterative systems analyses, the Dakota toolkit provides a flexible and extensible problem-solving environment for design and performance analysis of computational models on high performance computers.
