  text: Despite the rapid growth and potential of technology-based services, managers'
    greatest challenges are gaining customer acceptance and increasing usage of these
    new innovative services. In the B2C field, studies of self-service technology
    show that perceived risk is an important factor influencing the use of service
    technology. Though prior research explores different risk types that emerge in
    consumer settings, risk perception in the B2B setting lacks a detailed examination
    of different risk types influencing technology-based service adoption. Data from
    49 qualitative interviews with providers and customers in two different B2B industries
    inform this study. The findings emphasize the importance of functional and financial
    risks in a B2B context and show that business customers' personal and psychological
    fears hinder their use of technology-based services. Results highlight differences
    in risk perception and evaluation between customers and providers.
