This paper proposes a research agenda for investigating the Internet implementation stage among different adopter levels. Even though DOI covers many aspects of innovation adoption and implementation, implementation stage research remains sparse and perhaps no research has investigated the leapfrog phenomenon within DOI. This research agenda helps contribute, academically and practically, to these issues. ER -
