Development The Quick Response-Code (QR-Code) technology wasdeveloped in 1994 by Denso Originally usedinlogistics License-free Approved as an ISO international standard (ISO/IEC18004:2000) Nowadays used in: real-time information data marketing e-commerce payment and ticketing widely accepted • Denso Wave Inc. (2012) Soon (2008) Uitz/Harnisch (2012) The QR-Code Technology in Public Transportation: Organizational Innovation Adoption and Technology Acceptance
Technological Characteristics of QR-Codes and customer requirements for usage Technological Characteristics: • 2D-Code Technology, 40different types • Integrated errorcorrectionfrom 7% upto 30% • Approximately 100 timesmoredatacomparedtothe linear 1D-Code: • 7089 numericalor 4296 alphanumericalcharacters • Support JIS Level 1, JIS Level 2, Kanji, Kana and Hiragana symbols.

Organizational Innovation Adoption of QR-Code Technology The QR-Code Technology in Public Transportation: Organizational Innovation Adoption and Technology Acceptance
Use and Acceptance of QR-Codes Determination of research questions: 1. Has the QR-Code already established itself in the customers everyday life? 2. What are the determinants for that? 3. What makes Non-Users still refuse QR-Codes? 4. How does the „typical“ QR-Code User look like? The QR-Code Technology in Public Transportation: Organizational Innovation Adoption and Technology Acceptance
Methodology 1. Preparation of the survey questions about • Personal data • Use of QR-Codes • Acceptance and Attitude towards QR-Codes 2. Implementation in „Unipark“, distribution online (Facebook, Emails) 3. Developing Research Models 4. Analysis and results (Excel and SmartPLS Version 2.0M3) The QR-Code Technology in Public Transportation: Organizational Innovation Adoption and Technology Acceptance
Research Models and Variables User Model • Habit: frameworkofexperience, awarenessandcontrol Non-User Model • Cognitive-based Inertia: beingconsciousof not takingthebestchoice • Behavior-based Inertia: routine-baseduse, noawarenessabout (dis-)advantages • Affective-based Inertia: changeto a newsystemwouldcause stress Polites/Karahanna (2012) The QR-Code Technology in Public Transportation: Organizational Innovation Adoption and Technology Acceptance
Hypotheses User Model H1: Habit, consisting of a framework of variables, has a significant influence on Use Non-User Model H1: Cognitive-based Inertia has a positive effect on Negative Attitude H2: Behavior-based Inertia has a positive effect on Negative Attitude H3: Affective-based Inertia has a positive effect on Negative Attitude The QR-Code Technology in Public Transportation: Organizational Innovation Adoption and Technology Acceptance

Measurement • T-test on significance • p*<0,05; **p<0,01;***p<0,001 • Bootstrapping 2. Coefficient of Determination (R²) • value of variance declares how well the indicator is expressed by the corresponding variable • Backhaus et al. (2000) The QR-Code Technology in Public Transportation: Organizational Innovation Adoption and Technology Acceptance
Results Hypotheses and t-test User Model: H1: Habit, consistingof a frameworkof variables, has a significantinfluence on Use Non-User Model: H1: Cognitive-based Inertia has a positive effect on Negative Attitude H2: Behavior-based Inertia has a positive effect on Negative Attitude H3: Affective-based Inertia has a positive effect on Negative Attitude The QR-Code Technology in Public Transportation: Organizational Innovation Adoption and Technology Acceptance
Results Demographics • 109 participants • 44 per cent students • 58 per cent at the age of 21-30 The QR-Code Technology in Public Transportation: Organizational Innovation Adoption and Technology Acceptance
59 per cent don‘t use Ticketing 71 per cent don‘t use Payment Results Use of QR-Code The QR-Code Technology in Public Transportation: Organizational Innovation Adoption and Technology Acceptance
The typical QR-Code User • Use in Public Transport: • Seldom or never • More out of fun • For example scanning posters and packages • Knowledge, Experience: • Good knowledge about smartphone and internet use • QR-Code technology is common • No bad experiences • Demographics: • Male • Business student • 20-31 years old • German • 0-1000 €/month net • lives <50km from Frankfurt The QR-Code Technology in Public Transportation: Organizational Innovation Adoption and Technology Acceptance
Conclusion User QR-Code has established itself in the everyday life of some customers Nevertheless: • Enterprises should try to attract more customers to use QR-Codes in Public Transportation Payment and Ticketing and ensure constancy Outlook: Are existing advertising campaigns successfull? Redesign? http://www.bahn.de/p/view/buchung/mobil/handy_ticket.shtml The QR-Code Technology in Public Transportation: Organizational Innovation Adoption and Technology Acceptance
Conclusion Non-User Behavior-based and cognitive-based Inertia have a huge impact on Negative Attitude • What is a possible solution for enterprises in such a situation? Nevertheless: • 57 per cent are interested in more information about QR-Code technology and take its use into consideration • 44 per cent would use the QR-Code in combination with bonus offers Start information and (if lucrative) bonus campaigns The QR-Code Technology in Public Transportation: Organizational Innovation Adoption and Technology Acceptance

Organizational Innovation Adoption Frambach/Schillerwaert (2002) The QR-Code Technology in Public Transportation: Organizational Innovation Adoption and Technology Acceptance
Environmental Influences (1/2) Enviromental influences describe the business environment in relation to the technology. Competitive pressures and positive externalities can promote the adoption process. Cooperated developmentunder the umbrella organization VDV (Verband Deutscher Verkehrsunternehmen). High market penetration of compatible Cellphones The percentage of people who have cellphones, which are able to use QR-Code Technology, is permanently raising. Frambach/Schillerwaert (2002) VDV (2012) The QR-Code Technology in Public Transportation: Organizational Innovation Adoption and Technology Acceptance
Entrepreneurial Objectives related to the Adoption of QR-Code Technology VDV (2011) RMV (2008) • Modernizationof ticket distributionandpaymentsystems • Costreduction • Customers shouldbepersonalized • New marketingstrategies • Future operative planning The QR-Code Technology in Public Transportation: Organizational Innovation Adoption and Technology Acceptance
Alternative Technologies (1/2) http://www.bahn.de/p/view/buchung/mobil/handy_ticket.shtml Knuchel et al. (2011) Aztec – Code Advantages in Error Correction Protected against forgery High market penetration in the area of boarding tickets Lower data storage capacity The QR-Code Technology in Public Transportation: Organizational Innovation Adoption and Technology Acceptance
Alternative Technologies (2/2) http://www.mobile-zeitgeist.com/wp-content/NFC-vs-QR-1.png Valmestad (2011) Finkenzeller (2008) Knuchel et al. (2011) NearField Communication • Wireless standardizedinterface • Abletocommunicatewithotherdevices in range • Simultaneouslydeployed in customerrelatedareas • Low marketpenetration • Expensive The QR-Code Technology in Public Transportation: Organizational Innovation Adoption and Technology Acceptance
Example for successfull adoption (1/3) http://www.bvg.de BVG (2012) The cashless payment and ticket system where realized, for example, by the Berliner Verkehrsgesellschaften in cooperation with the Deutsche Bahn AG for their public transportation network in Berlin. The QR-Code Technology in Public Transportation: Organizational Innovation Adoption and Technology Acceptance
Example for successfull adoption (2/3) BVG (2012) Requirementsfor User: The customerneeds a cellphonewiththefollowingrequirements: • Mobile internetconnection • Camera • Androidor Apple iOsas an operationg System • Instalationoftheapllication • Creationof a account: • personal information • detailfor electronic bankdebiting The QR-Code Technology in Public Transportation: Organizational Innovation Adoption and Technology Acceptance
Example for successfull adoption (3/3) Ticketing Starting the trip through the scanning of the available QR-Code. The Ticket is shown in the installed application. At the end of the journey, the customer must scan the QR-Code at his destination point Payment: The calculation of the fee takes place at the end of the operating day. The System automatically calculate the cheapest possile connection. Direct debit transactions are conducted.
