Business Networking, Travel Tiredness, and the Emergent Use of Video Conferences

This article explores business travelers' attitudes to videoconferencing (VC) and how these affect the use of this technology. Based on an analysis of 1411 Norwegian business travelers' attitudes, the authors find four dominant set of attitudes toward the use of videoconferences and travels: benefit oriented, network development, travel tiredness, and mobile collaborating. Attitudes related to network development and travel tiredness had the strongest impact on actual use of VC, suggesting that this is the most important attitude-based barriers and drivers for future use of this technology.
