Abstract

Purpose

The article aims to clarify the risks and opportunities available to corporate learning professionals with the advent of a tsunami of EdTech (educational technology) that promises to be the silver bullet of lifelong learning. It acknowledges that the urgency of up/reskilling adults provides learning professionals with a unique moment to make a difference by ensuring the right skills are available as needed. However, learning professionals are simultaneously under threat of irrelevance should we fail to use the avalanche of advances in technology combined with tried and tested pedagogical principles and a multi-channel approach.

Design/methodology/approach

The paper offers the author’s opinion on the future opportunities for learning professionals, using a summarized analysis of available technology and Educational Technology. In addition, it offers opportunities for further exploration by the reader.

Findings

The Future of Work has arrived and potentially signals the beginning of a golden age for learning professionals – or the beginning of the end, ultimately to be replaced by technology. The need is clear. What is not clear is whether the learning community – en masse – have the technological savvy to step up and maximize the use of technology, and specifically AI related services, to meet this need.

Practical implications

Learning professionals have a limited moment in time to pivot their existing skill set to a better understanding and use of technology. The paper offers some suggestions for action in this regard.

Social implications

Should the learning professional fail to utilize this unique moment in time to optimize the learning experiences of adults, the world faces a skills gap that will harm innovation, employment and social stability.

Originality/value

This paper fulfills an identified need for learning professionals to adjust their approach, skill set, and deliverables and offers guidelines for focus and action in a world saturated with information.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to introduce new tools to develop a more precise and focused bibliometric analysis on the field of digitalization in healthcare management. Furthermore, this study aims to provide an overview of the existing resources in healthcare management and education and other developing interdisciplinary fields.

Design/methodology/approach

This work uses bibliometric analysis to conduct a comprehensive review to map the use of the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) and the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology 2 (UTAUT2) research models in healthcare academic studies. Bibliometric studies are considered an important tool to evaluate research studies and to gain a comprehensive view of the state of the art.

Findings

Although UTAUT dates to 2003, our bibliometric analysis reveals that only since 2016 has the model, together with UTAUT2 (2012), had relevant application in the literature. Nonetheless, studies have shown that UTAUT and UTAUT2 are particularly suitable for understanding the reasons that underlie the adoption and non-adoption choices of eHealth services. Further, this study highlights the lack of a multidisciplinary approach in the implementation of eHealth services. Equally significant is the fact that many studies have focused on the acceptance and the adoption of eHealth services by end users, whereas very few have focused on the level of acceptance of healthcare professionals.

Originality/value

To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study to conduct a bibliometric analysis of technology acceptance and adoption by using advanced tools that were conceived specifically for this purpose. In addition, the examination was not limited to a certain era and aimed to give a worldwide overview of eHealth service acceptance and adoption.
