Abstract

The EASYCARD provided by the Taipei Smart Card Corporation (TSCC) is a milestone in application of intelligent transport system in Taiwan. Besides, its applications vary from public transportation, related services, access control, to school campus. When facing the institutional problems, however, these applications can not do well as they did. In this paper, through an institutional analysis, we detailed the vicissitudes of a micro-payment platform implementation based on the EASYCARD system. Through a deep understanding of such case, the paper mainly contributes to inter-organizational system, or innovation adoption and diffusion in the information systems (IS) research field.
