The human environmental model is presented as a useful alternative which, if embraced, can inform more holistic information and communication technology (ICT) policies.Design/methodology/approach – Through a review of diffusion of innovations models an alternative diffusion framework is described and applied to an interpretive open source case study in South Africa.Findings – Contemporary diffusion and innovation models are narrow...
