Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) arena has gained a significant attention in recent years. IoT presents an image of a future internet and recognized as an ecosystem of connected devices, computing mechanisms and other items to exchange data/information cooperate with higher ease and financial benefits. However, IoT adoption and diffusion still remains a challenge due to existence of many challenges. Therefore, this work put forward an objective to recognize and analyze the challenges in implementation of IoT systems in Indian context. Nine challenges to IoT adoption and diffusion were identified by literature survey and experts’ opinions. Further, Grey Relational Analysis (GRA) and Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) approaches were used to analyze the challenges to IoT adoption and diffusion in Indian context. This study may help practitioners and policy makers in removing the hurdles to successful IoT adoption and diffusion. Finally, conclusions and future research directions are presented.

6. Conclusions, limitations and future scope

The key aim of present research was to identify and analyze the key challenges in implementation of IoT network. Nine key challenges were identified through literature support and experts’ input. Further, these identified challenges were analyzed through GRA and AHP methodologies. Results of the present research suggested that ‘Poor internet connectivity (CH9)’; ‘Costing issues and longer payback period (CH1)’ and ‘Lack of standardization (CH7)’ are the key challenges to IoT adoption and diffusion. Our research has implications for policy makers, Practitioners and managers to focus on these key challenges in their removal to effectively adopt IoT applications in Indian context. Our research made an initial attempt to analyze the challenges to IoT adoption and diffusion in Indian context. The list of identified challenges may not be complete list of challenges. In future research, some more challenges may emerge.

Our research has used experts’ opinions to collect the data to analyze the challenges to IoT. Our research used GRA and AHP approaches and they have their own limitations. The main limitation is that the experts were not randomly selected and results may be biased. In future research, fuzzy GRA/AHP may be used to avoid biasness.
