ABSTRACT. In this article, the authors present strategies to encourage business faculty members to adopt laptop technology and integrate it into their teaching processes. They also discuss what they learned from having integrated laptops into the classroom in the College of Business at Minnesota State University, Mankato. The integration strategies suggest that the adoption of laptop technology by business faculty follows a similar process to that of product adoption by consumers.
