| Abstract: | Much of the previous literature on ubiquitous computing (UbiComp) has been limited to case studies, reporting innovative practices
of specific technologies (e.g., RFID) and social issues. There is a general paucity of research on strategic application of
UbiComp, especially to small businesses. To address this issue, this study provides a broad overview of the current practices
of UbiComp in leading countries and presents possible future directions. Then, the effects of UbiComp on small businesses
are discussed. Through a cross-national comparative analysis, we present four strategies to provide some guidance to the countries
that are currently considering entering into the UbiComp race. |
