“…For factor analysis, items were retained based on the following criteria (1) dropping items with a factor loading less than 0.5 on all factors from subsequent iterations (2) subsequently dropping items with a factor loading greater than 0.5 on two or more factors (Tarafdar and Vaidya 2006). In general, both convergent and discriminant validities were satisfied as the items measuring each construct clustered from distinct factors and there were no crossloading of items.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this work was to construct a new E-commerce innovation and adoption model that takes into account various stages of e-commerce adoption (interactive, non-interactive and stabilised) and covers technological, organisational and environmental factors. This was tested using data collected from manufacturing and service companies in Saudi Arabia to reveal inhibitors and catalysts for E-commerce adoption. Design/methodology/approachThis study uses new data from surveys from 202 companies and then uses exploratory factor analysis and structural equation modelling for analyses. FindingsThis study shows that the new Stage Oriented Model (SOM) is valid and can reveal specific detailed nuances of E-commerce adoption within a particular setting. Surprising results show that Saudi Arabia is not so very different to developed Western countries in respect to E-commerce adoption. However there are some important differences which are discussed in detail. Research limitations/implicationsA new stage oriented model (SOM) for e-commerce adoption is provided which may be used by other IS adoption researchers. Practical implicationsManagers responsible for the adoption of E-commerce in SA, the Middle East and beyond can learn from these findings to speed up adoption rates and make E-commerce more effective. Social implicationsThis work may help spread E-commerce use throughout Saudi Arabia, the Middle East and to other developing nations. Originality/valueThe results add to the extremely limited number of empirical studies that has been conducted to investigate E-commerce adoption in the context of Arabic countries.

“…Palumbo and Herbig (1998) defined the typical Internet user of the twentieth century as being young, professional and affluent with higher levels of education. Bhatnagar and Ghose (2004) and Tarafdar and Vaidya (2006) also agreed about the impact of education on the Internet and a lack of training and education form significant barriers to the adoption of new technologies. Additionally, most research findings indicate that the better educated use the Information Technology (IT) for diverse tasks and entertainment (Losh, 2003).…”

This study reports the findings of a survey concerning the impact of professionals' selected socio-demographic factors with regard to their online purchasing behaviour in Turkey, since this consumer group plays an important role in adopting new technologies in societies. The survey has been conducted using a 'face-to-face interview' approach during an IT event. To keep in line with the available literature, gender, age, education level, income and daily Internet usage, constitute the sociodemographic variants for this study. Five hypotheses were constructed to investigate the nature of the relationship between the socio-demographic factors and the usage of online purchasing. The chi-square method was selected to test the hypotheses. According to the test results, age, income and education level have a significant impact on the online purchasing behaviour of professionals.

“…Some studies separately focus on the impact of OC on 1) ICT use (Tarafdar and Vaidya 2006;Zhang and Tansuhaj 2007) and 2) ICT implementation success or failure (Harper and Utley 2001;Caccia-Bava et al 2006). We argue that OC should be studied regarding its impact on both ICT use and ICT implementation effectiveness, simultaneously.…”

The paper aims at analyzing the influence of diverse organizational cultures on the use of ICT for strategic KM. By combining literature from different areas, namely strategic KM, ICT for KM, organizational culture and effectiveness, a theoretical model is proposed and tested in a sample of more than 300 firms in Spain. Results show that diverse organizational cultures (hierarchy, clan, adhocracy and market) are found to impact on the use of ICT for strategic KM (personalization and codification) differently. Specifically, corporate cultures based on hierarchies and markets do not impact on the use of ICT for KM, while clan culture favours the use of ICT for personalization strategy and adhocracy positively influences technologies for personalization and codification as well. These findings may have significant implications for researchers and managers.
