E-commerce adoption stage model of SMEs: evidence from Taiwans market
The 2000s have witnessed the proliferation and hyper- growth of the Electronic commerce (EC) which,combined with traditional IT technologies,is creating a global,and cost-effective platform for businesses to communicate and conduct commerce. This study proposes and empirically validates a stages model for EC adoption and implementation in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). A questionnaire survey of senior executives is used to gather information pertaining to the stages model,which includes measurement of the nature and level of EC adoption. Benchmark variables are validated empirically for each stage of EC adoption. The results support the stages model and the benchmark variables are generally found to be successful in predicting the stage of EC adoption.
