This enthusiasm and a normal penchant for science and especially physics and mathematics made me opt this branch of Electrical and Electronics Engineering for my undergraduate studies. In high school, we were taught about the harmful effects of carbon emissions and our dependence on fossil fuels to run vehicles and generation of electricity. I was always keen about automobile technology and when I came to know about hybrid electric vehicles
the decision. Four widely used models or theories are reviewed and discussed in relation to internet banking services. These are theory of Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA), Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB), Diffusion of Innovation Theory (DOI) and Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). In the chapter, these theories are reviewed from prior studies and an attempt is made to identify the most suitable framework for this research. 2.1 Theory of Reasoned Action The Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) is developed
