The study was carried out at the tertiary level education institute, consisting of 210 respondents drawn from three departments (Le., science, business and engineering) of a leading private university in Bangladesh. The model confirmed a good fit with the data, and explained 47% of the variance for Behavioral Intention (BI) and 35% for Usage Behavior (UB). Results of the study confirmed the significant direct effect of the variables, i.e., Performance Expectancy (PE), Effort Expectancy (EE) and Social Influence (SI) on Behavioral Intention (BI) to use ICTs at the tertiary level education.

    Financial Statement Comparability and Harmonization of Accounting Standards
    (North South University, 2018-06) Muinuddin Ahmed; Muhammad Nasiruddin; Mohammad Mahboob Rahman
    This paper examines whether accounting standard harmonization increases financial information comparability across countries. Firstly comparability is defined and linked statistically to firm value within two companies' sequential information sharing framework. Afterwards, the prediction that a company that has not announced earnings responds strongly to the announcement of earnings ofa foreign company when the two report under similar rather than separate accounting standards is tested empirically. The evaluation of abnormal volume and price responses for a worldwide sample of companies complements this prediction.
