“…As a result of the great advantages that promise their use, various enterprises have adopted them aiming to take advantage of the provided functionality. Consequently, B2B e-marketplaces have also received considerable attention from the academic community and many researchers have investigated them in diverse scientific fields, such as information systems' (IS) research (Bakos, 1998;Premkumar, 2003), supply chain management (SCM) (Eng, 2004;Grieger, 2003), operational research (Lee et al, 2006) and others.…”

“…Finally, the third stream covers the surveys that examine the factors that hinder or drive firms' adoption (Eng, 2004;Yu, 2007) and issues related to how to operate B2B e-marketplaces (Hazra et al, 2004;Lee et al, 2006). Additionally, in this scientific stream, surveys concerning the identification of B2B e-marketplaces' critical success factors (Choudhury et al, 1998;Fairchild et al, 2004) and strategies that can be implemented to increase their competitive advantage (Le, 2002;Standing et al, 2006) are also included (Hadaya, 2008).…”

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to investigate the influence of various factors on suppliers' level of use of business-to-business (B2B) e-marketplaces by examining three basic variable domains; suppliers' internal environment, their external environment and the characteristics of the adopted B2B e-marketplace. Design/methodology/approach -A conceptual framework is developed based on extended literature review and examined on data collected from 87 suppliers that currently use Greek B2B e-marketplaces. Factor analysis and multiple discriminant analysis are applied to test the framework and its related hypotheses. Findings -Several hypotheses are formulated leading to the development of the proposed "B2B e-MarkFLU" conceptual framework. The research results show that factors from all the examined variable domains influence suppliers' level of use of B2B e-marketplaces. However, the B2B e-marketplace's characteristics are regarded as the most important of the three categories because of its higher impact on the involved suppliers, whereas the factors from the external environment have the lowest impact. Originality/value -The research helps to fill an existing gap in the study of B2B e-marketplaces' post-adoption stage, as there have been extremely limited empirical studies after their adoption phase. To our knowledge, this paper comprises the first empirical attempt aimed to investigate thoroughly the three aforementioned variable domains by researching suppliers' active participation in B2B e-marketplaces.

“…Sethi et al (2003) assume that the lead times of emergency and normal orders are one and two review periods, respectively. Lee et al (2006), Huggins and Olsen (2010) and Chen et al (2012) assume zero lead time for emergency orders. Veeraraghavan and Scheller-Wolf (2008) and Sheopuri et al (2010) assume only that the former lead time is shorter than the latter, but they ignore fixed ordering costs.…”

“…The extant literature on e‐markets (e.g. Ash and Burn, 2006; Christiaanse and Markus, 2003; Harrigan et al , 2008; Howard et al , 2006; Johnson, 2011b, c; Lee et al , 2006) document a number of benefits that organisations have gained from adopting e‐markets in other sectors of the economy. Despite the benefits e‐markets provide, there are barriers to their adoption and participation in them once they have been adopted (Howard et al , 2006; Johnson, 2010a; Johnson, 2011b; Sharifi et al , 2006).…”

PurposeRecent changes in the UK political landscape have brought about cuts in public sector spending. Local authorities, in common with other public sector agencies, are required to make significant cost savings over the coming years. Procurement is an area of public sector administration characterised by considerable costs and inefficiency where the adoption of innovative technologies, such as e‐markets, can be deployed to effect significant costs savings. However, there are many barriers to the adoption of such technologies. The purpose of this paper is to explore and expound the factors that impede local authorities from adopting e‐markets and to present a learning opportunity for procurement managers and other stakeholders involved in technology adoption in local government and the wider public sector.Design/methodology/approachA case study based on in depth interviews with 17 senior level executives in e‐markets and local authorities on barriers to e‐market adoption in the local government sector is presented. The interviews were transcribed and subsequently coded and analysed using the qualitative data analysis software QSR N6.FindingsA number of factors (risk perception, knowledge deficits, trust, firm size, and organisational readiness) pertaining to Johnson's framework of e‐market adoption barriers were found to affect e‐market adoption and use in the local government sector. Importantly, the study also found factors that are idiosyncratic to the sector that impinged on e‐market adoption.Research limitations/implicationsThe scope of the study is limited to examining such barriers from a buy‐side local authority perspective, the findings of which may have implications for the adoption of e‐markets and other e‐procurement technologies in the wider public sector and beyond. The paper also makes a contribution to the literature on e‐market adoption by adding to the body of knowledge relating to institutional theory.Practical implicationsThe case study can help local authority and other public sector procurement managers, academic researchers, practitioners, consultants and other professionals involved in technology adoption better understand, and find practical ways to offset, the barriers that impinge on the adoption of e‐markets and other innovative technologies that can reduce costs within public sector organisations.Originality/valueE‐market adoption has the potential to realise a number of significant cost saving benefits within and between organisations. However, such benefits cannot be realised if there are barriers to their adoption and full utilisation. To date, research on the dynamics of e‐market adoption has largely focused on private sector enterprises with few studies examining this phenomenon in public sector environments. Therefore, e‐market adoption in the public sector has received limited attention in the literature over the past decade. This study examines, and provides empirical evidence of, barriers to e‐market uptake and usage in the local government sector in order to act as a starti...
