“…Several kinds of literature investigate the relationship between national cultures and ICT adoption (Aparicio, Bacao, & Oliveira, 2016;Dasgupta & Gupta, 2019;Mohammed & Tejay, 2017;Takieddine & Sun, 2015;Tam & Oliveira, 2017). The research uses five Hofstede's cultural dimensions as a proxy of national culture and the share of ICT expenditure in each country as a proxy of ICT adoption.…”

The research dealt with factors affected the different Information Communication and Technology (ICT) adoption rate among Asian countries. The primary purpose was to examine the impact of national wealth and culture on the behavioral adoption of ICT empirically among selected countries in Asia. Data were collected from the World Bank, World Economic Forum, and Hofstede’s cultural dimension index. Statistical correlation and multiple regression were utilized to analyze the dataset, such as Gross Domestic Product (GDP) as a proxy for national wealth and Hofstede’s cultural dimension as a proxy for culture. The result shows a significant relationship between GDP per capita and uncertainty avoidance on the national ICT adoption index. This finding contributes to improving the acknowledgment of the GDP and national culture as the antecedent of ICT adoption in the global field. Practically, the research updates the previous similar ones and proposes further empirical research to extend the scope of analysis.

“…An approach based on the structuration theory, which focuses on studying social phenomena with the intention of understanding the interrelation between individuals and society [66] is one that could be useful in further research. On the other hand, theories of a stronger explanatory nature could be utilized to explain the role of culture in the generation of individuals' perception, which would lead to a better comprehension of the relationship between information privacy and culture [132]. Finally, one of the flaws in research in this field is the lack of studies with a longitudinal standpoint that could provide a better perspective in the process of adoption of electronic commerce from a followup of determined moments along the process.…”

“…Consequently, awareness of the factors that influence e-commerce adoption will make its implementation easier and more likely to be successful for an enterprise. Carrying out research about this matter is thus very important as it would enable the assignation of resources on the factors and variables identified as a priority at the occasion of implementing e-commerce [97], [129], [132].…”

This article presents findings of a study that aimed to identify key factors in the adoption of e-commerce. The study involved a bibliometric analysis of statistical information from 408 scientific publications related to the theme, registered in the Scopus database, through a structured search equation. The collected records were used to calculate bibliometric indicators of quantity, quality and structure. Additionally, an analysis of increasing, decreasing, and emerging thematics was carried out to identify the topics of greatest interest on this subject. Findings indicate that this is a prolific research field, in which the fastest growing topic is the study of e-commerce adoption in small and medium sized enterprises in emerging economies. The analysis also revealed the current use of new models to evaluate adoption factors. That is the case of the Technology Organization Environment Framework used as an alternative to the Technology Acceptance Model--which remains the most widely used. Likewise, Structural Equation Analysis was found to be one of the most frequently used options for statistical analysis in the publications studied. A research agenda intending to contribute with directions for further research in the area is presented at the end of the article. from previous studies, and allowing the construction of better research designs that could focus on the issue with greater theoretical end empirical validity.The paper is structured as follows: Drawing on the work of various authors, the first section presents a conceptual framework that elaborates on the most important concepts related to electronic commerce, points out some milestones in its historical development, highlights its importance, and exposes the factors that promote or inhibit its adoption. In a second section, the methodology used for bibliometric analysis is described. In a third section, the obtained results are laid out along with their interpretation. Finally, conclusions and limitations of the study are presented followed by a research agenda. Conceptual BackgroundThis section presents the conceptual framework that supports the bibliometric analysis used in the research methodology. This framework introduces the conceptualization of e-commerce, presents some milestones of development, and highlights its importance in strengthening supplier-customer relations in today's organizations.Electronic commerce has been defined as a useful tool to reduce the economic gap between countries [149] and as a channel to deliver products and services through the Internet. However, although it has become a source of competitive advantage due to the possibilities offered to both buyers and sellers, its use, especially in emerging economies, is limited [52]. The main advantage mentioned by the authors in the use of electronic commerce relates to the opportunity that it provides for companies to expand their number of customers [18] and its potential to become a medium to boost micro, small and medium sized enterprises--which represent a source of econ...

“…Several studies have investigated the influence of IPCs, social norms, and personality traits on intention to use—albeit from different perspectives ( Baek et al., 2014 ; Ahn et al., 2015 ; Mohammed and Tejay, 2017 ). For example, some studies have primarily focused on either the Facebook apps themselves ( Symeonidis et al., 2018 ), transactional privacy when using apps ( Choi and Land, 2016 ), privacy risks ( Farnden et al., 2015 ), privacy concerns when using apps ( Golbeck and Mauriello, 2016 ; Wisniewski et al., 2017 ), or the relationship between users’ age and privacy management ( Pang and Zhang, 2015 ; Kezer et al., 2016 ).…”

The unauthorized use of personal information belonging to users of apps integrated with the Facebook platform affects millions of users. Crucially, although privacy concerns and awareness have increased, the use of these apps, and related privacy behaviors, remain largely unchanged. Given that such privacy behaviors are likely influenced by individuals' personality traits, it is imperative to better understand which personality traits make individuals more vulnerable to such unauthorized uses. We build on a recontextualized version of the theory of planned behavior (TPB) to evaluate the influence of the Big Five personality traits on attitudes toward Facebook privacy settings, social norms, and information privacy concerns (IPCs)—all within the context of Facebook app use. To evaluate this study's model, we analyzed 576 survey responses by way of partial least squares path modeling. Results indicate that highly extraverted individuals are particularly vulnerable to privacy violations (e.g., unauthorized use of personal information) because of their negative attitudes toward Facebook privacy settings. Our post hoc analysis uncovered interesting combinations of personality traits that make individuals particularly vulnerable to the unauthorized use of app-based information. In particular, the combination of extraversion and conscientiousness had a negative effect on individuals' attitude toward privacy settings. We also found a significant negative relationship between IPCs and intention to use Facebook apps . Finally, we found a positive relationship between social norms and intentions. Taken together, these results infer that individuals are likely to be influenced by their peers in the use of Facebook apps but that their intentions to use these apps declines as privacy concerns increase.
