Computer Adoption and Use by New Mexico Nonfarm Agribusinesses

Author

  • Gregory A. Baker

Abstract

This research explores characteristics that influence computer adoption and successful use in nonfarm New Mexico agribusinesses. Results indicate that computer adoption is related to firm characteristics such as size and type of business, but unrelated to manager characteristics, including age and education. Manager involvement in the computer purchase decision is the most important characteristic affecting computer effectiveness as measured by user satisfaction and number of applications.
