Abstract :
The role of national level indicators on PC adoption is investigated. National level indicators are postulated to play a significant role in IT/IS adoption and diffusion. However, research that examines the role of these indicators is rare. The article introduces national cultural factors as important indicators of the PC adoption. Empirical models are designed that incorporate these national level indicators. Empirical analysis indicates that national indicators such as national culture, economy etc. do play a significant role in PC adoption
