Towards a Framework to Gauge the Impact of Internet Radio on Dispersed Communities in the Western Region of Ghana

Abstract

International migration is driven by factors such as the influx of skilled foreign workers and people travelling for greener pastures as a result of low income in their homeland compared to the foreign country in which they settle. This trend of migration continues unabated and thus the world is becoming a global village. However, migrants face some form of alienation from their host countries or dispersed communities and strive to build ties and remain connected with the people in their motherland. This necessitates their attempts to find comfort in the use of Internet radio, which has currently become one of the most popular services on the Internet. In this paper our goal is to propose a framework to gauge the impact of Internet radio on migrants living in dispersed communities away from their homeland. Measuring Information Systems (IS) success has been a major issue in the IS space. Drawing from present literature and reflecting on the updated DeLone and McLean model, key attributes of the major components of IS success were used to chart the impact of Internet radio. These attributes were identified from literature and the results produced a rudimentary framework to gauge the impact of Internet radio. This paper deepens the comprehension of IS success using multi-attributes from key IS components to gauge the impact of Internet radio. � 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
