The thesis provides practical contributions via the m-Govemment Adoption Model and associated recommendations. The Researcher believes these will allow Oman’s decision-makers to understand the reasons for the lack of e-Govemment success to date, and by implementing the m-Govemment critical success factors in the short- to medium-term, move towards successful e-Govemment in the longer term. It also makes a methodological contribution to the literature via an adoption and diffusion framework amalgamating elements from existing theories developed in the West, to investigate the prevailing situation in a developing country in respect of m- Govemment initiatives. This, by implication, may also be valuable in similar cultural contexts, especially those in the Gulf countries.
