Abstract
In an ideal world, IT service adoption is derived from the value it gives to the different stakeholders. However, in the real world, human behavior may induce sub-optimal decision making that raises barriers to the optimal adoption of the service. In this paper, we focus on a specific and common behavioral phenomenon – present bias – people’s tendency to prefer immediate gratification at the expense of future outcomes. We start by conceptualizing the considerations for selecting the economically-preferred IT service, from a list of alternatives. Then, we devise an approach for assessing the present values of the alternatives from the viewpoints of the various stakeholders. Lastly, we evaluate our approach using a case study of service adoption in a multinational technology enterprise.
