Abstract :
This study aims to investigate the effects of cultural differences on smartphone adoption by organizations in Canada and Turkey. Structural equation modeling was used to test the hypothesized relationships based on the data collected by a survey of 141 Canadian and 213 Turkish organizations. Results indicate that cultural differences have a significant impact on adoption behavior, and therefore there are significant differences in adoption factorsbetween the countries.
