Abstract
In this abstract we elaborate on the changing role of voluntariness during the roll-out process of networked technologies by drawing on a case study of a medium-sized financial service company. We find that as voluntariness might act as a key enabler for adoption of technologies in the beginning, it can act as an inhibitor of full diffusion, and thus ultimate success of networked technologies.
