Application Service Providing (ASP) is a recently emerged software
delivery model under which an Application Service Provider hosts,
manages and delivers software as a service to customers via the
Internet or a private network. Customers who are unsure about the
value of ASP and their demands may be reluctant to commit to ASP
contracts. The underlying research identifies determinants
influencing adoption intentions in the early technology stages of
ASP within electric utilities. The theoretical framework is based
on the findings of studies from van Everdingen and Frambach and is
adapted from Rogers work on the diffusion of innovations. The
tested model includes characteristics of the innovation, such as
relative (dis-) advantage of ASP, as well as characteristics of the
environment, the adopting company and importance of social
influence. After a broad qualitative study a quantitative web-based
survey was employed. All constructs rank high in measurement
quality and the overall model reveals food for an improved
conception of ASP as well as managerial practices.
