| dc.title | Factors affecting the adoption of smart agriculture : a model and empirical analysis | en_US |
| dcterms.abstract | In this thesis, the influencing factors of smart agriculture adoption in China are analyzed. The author proposes a research framework based on the technology-organization-environment (TOE) theory to theoretically investigate the factors affecting the adoption of smart agriculture. Moreover, the author exploits micro-level data from China to provide empirical evidence supporting the theoretical analyses, which helps to better understand the development of the adoption of smart agriculture in China. In particular, the author integrates constructs, like government support and social networks playing a specific role in the context of Chinese agriculture, into the TOE framework to further explore their impacts on the adoption of smart agriculture. | en_US |

From the perspective of technical characteristics, technology competence has an impact on the willingness to adopt smart agricultural technologies, and the high-level support for enterprises is affected by technology competence. top management support (TMS) in the organizational dimension has a positive impact on the choice making of agricultural enterprises to adopt smart agricultural technologies. The factors of adoption intension in the organizational dimension are TMS, perceived costs, perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use. Within the environmental dimension, government support plays a vital part on the decision making of agricultural enterprises to adopt smart agricultural technologies. Technology competence in the technical dimension is a factor affecting adoption of smart agriculture. | en_US |
