Kalle Lyytinen, Yves Pigneur and I have been working on trying to understand why mobile payments fail in Switzerland. We looked at three Swiss case studies that failed at different stages. The objective was to unveil the main reasons of failures and try to propose several factors of success for future initiatives.
As it is essential to look at mobile payments with a multi-perspective approach, we selected three frameworks to analyze the cases. These frameworks supported a structured analysis using economic, strategic, and resource-based perspectives.
This research is still in progress as we need to study more relevant cases in order to uncover some potential patterns that lead to success or failure. We will probably look at other countries that have had other experiences with mobile payments (e.g., Japan, Korea, or Austria).
The paper was accepted for presentation at the 42st Annual Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS) on the Big Island from the 5th to the 8th of January 2009. The paper will be published in the conference proceedings available in the Digital Library of IEEE Computer Society.

I just wanted to inform interested people that there will be a Mobile Monday Switzerland even on mobile payments and banking.
Date: October 6th, 2008 17:30-19:00

I was invited to prepare a talk. Unfortunately, I am not able to come as I have some teaching obligations in ESSEC. Prof. Yves Pigneur will present some of the research we have been working on lately.
From the list of speakers and participants, the event already promises to be successful. I wish I could be part of it.
