Introducing Integrated Acceptance and Sustainability Assessment of Technologies: A Model Based on System Dynamics Simulation

This article introduces the cornerstones of Integrated Acceptance and Sustainability Assessment Model used for new and existing technologies evaluation. It combines the user acceptance metrics used by UTAUT model with additional socio-technical factors influencing development and running of technology. The model is developed using system dynamics approach and consists of four main flows – management, quality of technology, technology acceptance and domain development.
