“…As with many other developing economies, Indonesia has not attained as much economic advantage from e-Government implementation as could be expected (Kuppusamy et al, 2008). In 2014, the biennial EGovernment Development Index issued by the United Nations ranked Indonesia at 106, below five…”

“…In Indonesia, less than 10 per cent of government agencies have reached Stage 3, compared with 71 per cent in Singapore and 50 per cent in Malaysia (UN, 2014). This situation makes Indonesia less able to compete economically with those two countries (Kuppusamy et al, 2008). Therefore, improving transactional e-Government systems might be expected to advance economic development in Indonesia as well as providing better governance.…”

Electronic government adoption in developing countries: the case of the Indonesian electronic procurement system

Studies conducted in the disciplines of public administration, sociology, psychology and information systems have examined the factors supporting electronic government (e-Government) adoption. Such research is vital because-no matter how technically sophisticated an e-Government system-it will be useless if it is not adopted. For government procurement processes, electronic procurement (e-Procurement) is believed to enhance efficiency and transparency as well as reduce the incidence of corruption in these processes. Unfortunately, however, many developing countries that face the problem of public sector corruption have failed to successfully adopt e-Government systems, including e-Procurement. The lack of success in e-Government adoption has stimulated the interest of scholars to identify the key predictors of e-Government adoption in developing countries. As a contribution to this growing body of knowledge, the present study examines the possible predictors of e-Government adoption by using Indonesia's e-Procurement system as a case study. Indonesia was chosen as the case study because it is a developing country facing the problem of public sector corruption and because an e-Procurement system was introduced for use in government agencies in 2005.The literature presents several conceptual models that have been developed to understand the predictors of e-Government use. Generally, these conceptual models apply to pre-adoption settings (e.g. the technology acceptance model (TAM), unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT), and technology-organisation-environment model (TOE)) where they identify the factors relating to the take-up of a new technology, or to continued use settings (e.g. the expectation confirmation model for information technology (ECM-IT)) where they identify the factors relating to the continued use of a technology. The predictors in these models have been validated by prior studies in various settings. However, there is a growing concern about the use of model predictors without adjusting them to take account of different contexts. At least two types of adjustment to context should be considered: first, the models are often developed for business settings, but government procedures and needs are different; second, the models have mostly been developed in the context of developed rich nations, not poorer developing worlds, and with this come different cultural attitudes to technology and educational and infrastructure levels. The present study is significant in that it tests the use of a pre-existing e-Procurement system by government agencies in a developing country. It not only assesses the continued intention to use, but also introduces a new measure of the level of adoption.In recognition of the need to adjust pre-existing adoption models, this study used a two-stage research design. The first stage used interviews with expert informants to either confirm existing iii predictors from well-established adoption models or identify new predictors for the e-Procurement and ...

“…Utilizing knowledge accumulated and generated in an organization is a strategic way to acquire the competitiveness edge for an organization, as discussed by Adeosun et al (2009);Jabar et al (2010); Kuppusamy et al (2008) and Muna et al (2007) Tacit knowledge: Following on the work of Jabar et al (2010), we believe that knowledge starts with a tacit process which comes from individual. Explicit knowledge, unlike tacit knowledge, is defined as knowledge that can be codified and therefore more easily communicated shared and stored in information technology.…”

Problem statement: Organization has to evaluate the competencies of their workers to improve organizational productivity. However, this is difficult because organizations have difficulties to capture and retain knowledge especially tacit knowledge of their employees. Approach: The study reviewed selected literature on management knowledge and employers competencies. It also reviewed existing frameworks in knowledge management focusing on the capturing and storing tacit knowledge. Results: Results of this study will include theoretical concept for capturing tacit knowledge and storing them besides developing a model for measuring employee's competencies in the organization. Conclusion/Recommendation: This study contributes in assessing knowledge workers performance to improve their productivity in an organization.

Problem statement:The rapid spread of e-commerce has created tremendous opportunities for economic efficiency and customer choice. Use of the global Internet computer network for ecommerce activities provides some advantages to the consumers on their daily life. On the other hand Internet represents a new environment for unethical behavior. While e-commerce has witnessed extensive growth in last decade, consumers concerns regarding ethical issues also continue to increase. Even many consumers and businesses are reveling in e-commerce; consumer problems related to online retail become the dark side of the issue. Approach: A survey on 400 online shoppers was conducted (three cities in Turkey (Izmir, Manisa, Mersin) in order to measure consumers' perceptions regarding the ethical issues of online retailing by using scale of Consumers' Perceptions regarding to Ethics of Online Retailers (CPEOR). Results: Ethical problems like security, privacy, reliability and non deception on Internet are core issues that limit the growth of online retailing. Conclusion/Recommendation: Findings indicate that; four factors (security, privacy, non deception and reliability) are strongly predictive of online consumers' satisfaction. Also, this research will be beneficial to online retailers on their online retailing activities.
