Extent of Adoption as Opposed to Adoption: Case of E-Procurement
TLDR
In this paper, an integrated model of the Technology-Organization Environment (TOE) framework and Diffusion of Innovations (DOI) theory is described and a cross-sectional survey is discussed.Abstract:
Existing literature has given much attention to e-procurement adoption, rather than to the extent of eprocurement adoption. In most countries, e-procurement is being adopted at a slow pace by the corporate world, especially by small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that have traditionally been late adopters of any advanced technologies, due in large part to their resource constraints. This paper describes a project which aims to develop a measure of the extent of e-procurement adoption and to examine the key factors that influence the extent of e-procurement adoption in New Zealand SMEs. An integrated model of the Technology-OrganizationEnvironment (TOE) framework and Diffusion of Innovations (DOI) theory is described and a cross-sectional survey is discussed. The model will be tested using data from the Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) of the SMEs.read more
