Abstract

According to prior research on a developmental project in the tribal area in India, tribal people are said to be laggards in terms of technology acceptance and adoption. It is because of some factors such as geographical location and illiteracy rate. This chapter examines the whole issue using a new perspective - the use of theories of information systems (IS) for acceptance and adoption of technology in tribal areas. The chapter evaluates through these IS theories the basic understanding of the reasons behind the laggard behavior of tribal people, keeping the Indian context in mind.
