“…As a result, there have been numerous studies investigating the drivers that encourage organizations to adopt these tools; some such drivers include the availability of in-house skills and knowledge [15] as well as organizational and financial readiness, and pressure from competitors and supply chain partners [16]. Upon reviewing the literature, the authors of this study identified 10 drivers of e-business tool adoption, with these being categorized as either internal or external.…”

We surveyed 136 managers of organizations (in both developed and developing countries) and analyzed the responses via the SPSS Statistics software package. A number of statistically significant differences were found between the 2 sets of organization; interestingly, however, a number of areas showed minimal difference between the 2 sets of organizations, suggesting the gap between them beginning to close.Keywords -e-business, developed vs. developing countries, operations managers I. INTRODUCTIONThis paper studies the use of e-business tools as well as the drivers and barriers to their adoption across both developed and developing countries to investigate differences between the 2 sets of countries. E-business adoption has moved from a 'nice to have' to a necessity due to the vital role it plays in global businesses [1,2], with many suggesting that the question is not whether or not e-business tools should be adopted but how this adoption should be conducted [3,4]. E-business tools offer a large array of benefits to those that implement them; examples include increased competitive advantage, improved communication, improved agility, increases in efficiency and access to new markets [5,6]. Similar benefits of adoption include reduced costs and increased process improvements [7,8] as well as improvements in inventory management, distribution and production planning [9,10].In recent years there has been an increased interest in the role that e-business plays in the field of operations and supply chain management [11,12]; it is for this reason that this paper investigates e-business tools from an operations management perspective. Much has been written about the benefits of e-business tool adoption, however there are a vast array of different tools available to organizations [7] and as such there is currently limited understanding on which tools are used most often and which are the most effective. Similarly, there has been limited research on e-business tool adoption outside of developed countries such as those in Europe, North America and Japan [1]. Those studies that have looked at the diffusion of e-business tools have concluded that developing countries lack the levels of e-business implementation present in developed countries [1,13]. There has, however, not been a single study confirming these supposed differences. All of these factors serve as motivations for conducting this study. A. The e-business toolsAs this study investigates e-business ...

PREFACEInformation technology is an everyday means that is found in all walks of life today. This is also true for almost all areas of agricultural management. The aim of this Journal is to improve scientific knowledge dissemination and innovation process in the agri-food sector. The Journal of Agricultural Informatics has been established in 2009 by the HAAI within a project of the Hungarian National Development Plan Framework. The peer-reviewed journal is operating with international editorial and advisory board supported by the EFITA (European Federation for Information Technology in Agriculture Food and the Environment).Agricultural informatics serves not only the development of the management systems of the industry but also obtaining and publicising information on production, organisation and the market for the producer.Technologies into network based business systems built on co-operation will ensure up-to-date production and supply in food-industry. The sector-level approach and the traceability of processed agricultural products both require the application of up-to-date information technology by actors of domestic and international markets alike.This journal serves the publication as well as familiarization the results and findings of research, development and application in the field of agricultural informatics to a wide public. It also wishes to provide a forum to the results of the doctoral (Ph.D) theses prepared in the field of agricultural informatics. Opportunities for information technology are forever increasing, they are also becoming more and more complex and their up-to-date knowledge and utilisation mean a serious competitive advantage.These are some of the most important reasons for bringing this journal to life. The journal "Agricultural Informatics" wishes to enhance knowledge in the field of informatics, to familiarise its readers with the advantages of using the Internet and also to set up a forum for the introduction of their application and improvement.The editorial board of the journal consists of professionals engaged in dealing with informatics in higher education, economists and staff from agricultural research institutions, who can only hope that there will be a demand for submitting contributions to this journal and at the same time there will also be interest shown toward its publications. analysis ...............................................................................................................................................................

Within the scope of this study we test the Long Memory property on monthly average pig market prices including piglet, young pig, sow and slaughter pig. We also calculate the Hurst exponent using Detrended Fluctuation Analysis (DFA) method. DFA is a method for determining the statistical self-affinity of a time serie. It is a useful technique for investigating time series with long memory (diverging correlation time a...

A B S T R A C TThe invasion of new technologies combined with the high cost for running shop force enterprises to search for new sales methods. Network applications and ICT (Information and Communication Technology) can help achieve e-commerce goals. In Greece, many enterprises in the agro-food and drink sectors are already present on the internet. This paper studies the adoption of e-commerce on websites that support e-commerce activities within the agro-food and drink sectors. Therefore, the paper aims to identify and evaluate their qualitative and quantitative content characteristics, rank them according to 6 content characteristics/criteria using the multicriteria method of PROMETHEE II and classify them in groups of similar adoption. The findings of this study reveal the rate of adoption of e-commerce in the sectors and can serve as a valuable model for the designers of websites that promote e-commerce activities within the wider areas of food and drinks
