Abstract
Objective: Internet adoption has been identified as a means to improve competitiveness among UK SMEs. To facilitate adoption the UK government invested heavily in regional projects to diffuse knowledge of the Internet and the services it enabled throughout the SME sector. This paper considers the impact of regional government projects acting as change agents for internet adoption, by exploring Rogers (2003) diffusion of innovation model.
