“…With socio-economic development anchoring on the three pillars of human development index (HDI): life expectancy index, education index, and standard of living, it is sufficient to mention that ICT impacts on inclusive growth (Roztocki et al, 2017;Sein et al, 2018). Recent literature captures the relationship between ICT and inclusive growth concisely: health outcomes and well-being (Mengesha & Garfield, 2019;Palvia et al, 2018), culture and social beliefs (Ashraf et al, 2017;Roztocki & Weistroffer, 2016), well-being and poverty alleviation (Madon, 2000), education and growth of small businesses (Palvia et al, 2018), human capital and business growth (Kowal et al, 2019); capacity development (Jacobs et al, 2019); education and teaching methods (Donou-Adonsou, 2019;Stal & Paliwoda-Pękosz, 2019); governance and citizen trust (Mahmood et al, 2019); e-business processes (Rondović et al, 2019); and business environment and performance (Chowdhury, 2006;Lech, 2019).…”

This paper contributes to the ICT-growth and trade-growth literature by investigating the ICT-trade nexus on economic and inclusive growth. That is, does ICT adoption enhance or distort the impact of trade on growth? With data on 53 African countries from 2005 to 2015 using mobile phones and fixed telephone subscriptions as indicators of ICT, findings provide evidence that (1) trade is a significant and positive predictor of growth, (2) the impact of trade on growth differs significantly across Africa's sub-regions, (3) the effect of ICT adoption differs significantly across sub-regions, (4) ICT innovation enhances the impact of trade on growth, and (5) the ICT-trade nexus differ significantly across sub-regions. The study submits that these variables are critical drivers of economic and inclusive growth in Africa. However, the lack of consistency of the results across the sub-regions suggests that the level of ICT is still undeveloped. Policy implications are discussed.

“…Information flow in the value chain is not possible unless there is compatibility between the e-CRM platform and the existing internal and external IS [48]. IT expertise is measured by human resources' ability to contribute to the development and quality of usage of informational systems [60], [61]. It seems logical that a higher level of technical readiness would assist e-CRM in becoming an integral part of the value chain more quickly.…”

“…Previous studies on IT innovations, abound with conclusions from the group organization factors that managers influence the adoption of IT innovations through their decisions [9], [21], [22], [50] and encourage further usage [53], [58], [65]. Furthermore, companies that have no problem financing IT innovations and are financially more ready can be seen to make the decision to introduce the system more easily and have less problems in later phases of its implementation [18], [61]. Regardless of the management support and level of financial readiness, the companies which do not have the ability to manage customers' knowledge find it more difficult to accept e-CRM [11], [18].…”

This paper aims to investigate the factors influencing the electronic customer relationship management (e-CRM) assimilation in Southeastern European companies. With ICT innovation in mind, a conceptual model was developed, integrating three theories of innovative diffusion. Multivariate techniques, factor analysis, and cluster analysis were applied in order to reduce the number of variables and classify the cases. A discriminant analysis was taken in order to test the reliability of the clustering and to explore the clusters' characteristics. The relationship between cluster categorization and life cycle phases, along with the size of the firm, were all checked against contingency coefficients. When comparing cluster categorization, the research results showed that the significance of technical, organizational and environmental factors changed depending on the phase of the e-CRM assimilation. The results additionally showed that the degree of usage and diffusion of these technologies differs in small to medium enterprises compared to big enterprises. Owing to these findings, which have enabled us to provide insights into the ways in which contextual factors influence the e-CRM assimilation, theorists and practitioners can see the necessary patterns of action.

The majority of empirical literature acknowledges that information and communication technology (ICT) has a favourable effect on economic growth/development. Different studies, however, contend that this impact is modest or perhaps null, yielding inconsistent findings. In view of this complication, we therefore conducted a study with the aim to analyse the ICT diffusion-economic growth-development nexus for 73 countries over the period 2000–2018. The panel data was divided into three regions, namely sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), and Latin America and the Caribbean (LAAC). For the analysis, the newly developed panel vector autoregression (PVAR) in the generalised method of moments (GMM) estimation approach was applied. Our findings suggest a long-run equilibrium relationship between the three variables. The findings differ from the causality results for the overall panel and each of the regions differs. The inconsistency in the causality results across the regions suggests that the level of ICT diffusion is still underdeveloped. The PVAR-GMM results reveal that (i) ICT diffusion is a significant and positive predictor of growth across the regions, with a greater effect reported in MENA; (ii) ICT diffusion is a significant and positive predictor of development across the regions with a lesser effect noticed in MENA. The study’s implication for academia and practice is that (i) it provides important information on the ICT diffusion-economic growth-development nexus within the context of the econometric approaches used, and (ii) policymakers and managers of telecom businesses should accommodate sufficient support to further establish the ICT infrastructures and expand its penetration for all round sustainable and inclusive growth and development purposes.
