Abstract: This research examines and categorises the country-level adoption barriers of mobile commerce services, and tests those barriers in a case study of one country. The outcomes of the research presented in this paper are a broad framework of mobile commerce barriers that might be applicable when undertaking a country-level analysis, and a case study which tests the value of this framework in helping to uncover the specific barriers of mobile commerce adoption in one example country, New Zealand.

Keywords: mobile commerce services; adoption barriers; country level analysis; New Zealand; m-commerce; mobile communications.
