Identifying Measures for Assessing the Readiness of Handheld Application Usage

Abstract—This study was designed to identify measures with which to assess the readiness of handheld application usage, aiming to achieve four major objectives: 1) identify measures for the assessment of the readiness of handheld application usage, 2) analyze the association and relationship between these measures towards assessing the readiness of handheld application usage, 3) rank the readiness measures in order to assess the readiness of handheld application usage, and 4) construct a conceptual framework within which to structure the readiness measures and to assess the readiness of handheld application usage. A total of thirteen readiness measures (comprising ten readiness metrics and three readiness attributes) were identified as being associated with assessing the readiness of handheld application usage. These measures are valuable as an alternative method or technique with which to assess the readiness of handheld application usage.

Index Terms—Application, assessment, handheld, readiness, measures.
