“…Notwithstanding such positive reports, however, some researchers have argued whether any increased efficiency from using an ICT system does in fact offer any competitive advantage (Drew, 2003;Rao et al, 2003), and take up is uneven (Seyal et al, 2007;Viswanathan and Pick, 2005). Some studies identify barriers to take-up (Irvine and Anderson, 2008) particularly for SMEs (Oh et al, 2012). As Oh et al, (2012) point out, the literature proposes a trade-off between perceived advantages and perceived disadvantages, where usefulness might be outweighed by increased risk of system or security failure.…”

“…TAM is based on the understanding that perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use are the most influential factors of e-commerce adoption. Oh et al, (2012) modified the TAM model to fit more precisely with the e-trade context, adding environmental variables to enable the model to explore which kinds of variables affect the practical use and the continuous adoption of e-trade as proposed by Cheng et al, (2006). However, a weakness generally in applications of the TAM model is that the focus is solely on attitudes towards use, behavioral intentions to use, and actual use of ICT systems, while performance and post adoption effects are ignored.…”

“…Research studies that have used a modified TAM model have shown that the perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use are statistically significant related (Crook and Kumar, 1998;Kuan and Chau, 2001;Oh et al, 2009Oh et al, , 2012. As noted above, in contrast with previous studies, we sought to consider performance when an organization does use an e-trading system and justified the use of RBV theory for this purpose.…”

“…Although many studies have explored relationships among perceived advantages, such as usefulness and convenience and use and performance (Kim et al, 2012;Oh et al, 2012), none have investigated the relationship between usage and business performance targeting e-trading systems. In this study, we explored the relationships among perceived advantages, reuse, and business performance.…”

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore the adoption, use, and performance of e-trade systems in South Korean businesses. Design/methodology/approach – The authors developed a modified Technology Acceptance Model extended through resourced-based view theory, to address the performance aspect, hitherto neglected in previous studies. Using the new model, 114 businesses were surveyed, measuring relationships between perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, e-system usage, and business performance. Latent mean analysis was performed to examine the moderating effects of high and low e-trading system usage. Findings – Through latent mean analysis, the authors determined that the influence of variables varies depending on the level of e-trading system usage. In both the high and low usage groups, perceived convenience influenced reuse of e-trading systems and reuse also had effects on business performance. Research limitations/implications – The authors only examined Korean enterprises, so it would be useful to also examine the foreign counterparts in international e-trade transactions. Follow-up studies could examine how the dynamics of the sector change over time. Qualitative case study approaches could better understand the perspectives of firms in relation to management strategy formulation and decision making. Practical implications – The results provide important insight for managers and policymakers concerned with developing electronic trading system strategies, and e-trading system contexts. Originality/value – Although many studies have explored relationships among perceived advantages, such as usefulness and convenience and use and performance, none have investigated the relationship between usage and business performance targeting e-trading systems.

Growing a small firm; experiences and managing difficult processes

Contrary to a simple model of small firm growth where increased inputs produce greater outputs, we consider growth is a complex and difficult process. Accordingly, the paper is concerned with how small firms grow, especially how they make sense of the growth process. We collected narratives of the experiences of small firm growth in an extended case study to draw out how growth is understood and managed. We saw how owners became entangled in the process of growing, especially where a change in one aspect led to problems in other dimensions of growth. Their narratives were about trying to make sense, and give some sense to the complexity of growth and some direction to what they should manage. We identified a repertoire of narrative forms: Growth is understood through output indicators, growth is treated as the internal development of the firm and finally, growth is taken to be inevitable-a necessity to which the firm has to conform. These illustrate how growth can be understood as processes of growing, bound up in the context, created in space and time, and contingent on how growth is understood and experienced. Far from a smooth trajectory, enacting growth reflects the experience of the moment, it is shaped by reactions rather than strategy and it is messy rather than ordered. This study contributes to the literature by complementing the functionalist and output oriented view by understanding firm growth as a social phenomenon constructed and reconstructed in the interactions between people and experiences of context.

Purpose -Developing countries are still challenged by infrastructural and cultural issues related to the adoption of e-commerce although with the emergence of social commerce, a new stream has been introduced. Iran is a developing country, in which the adoption of e-commerce by small to medium sized enterprises (SMEs) is challenged by such barriers; it is now applying models for the adoption of new technologies by SMEs. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach -This research attempts to develop a model, based on existing models of e-commerce, which can be applied in Iranian conditions. The study uses data gathered by a survey, together with existing models in this area, in order to propose a new model, which has been empirically tested. Findings -The results of this research demonstrate that e-commerce barriers in Iran are related to a lack of awareness of the benefits of e-commerce adoption, as well as organisational issues related to its application. The paper also discusses the results and implications of this research, which can be applied to other developing countries. The paper also gives a better picture of Iranian market. Finally the paper discusses possible future directions of this research, as well as its limitations. Originality/value -This study contributes to the theoretical basis of IS and e-commerce adoption studies by proposing and testing a pre-adoption model for e-commerce. The adoption of e-commerce in SMEs in Iran has not been substantially investigated. This is despite the fact that SMEs play an important role in all economies. The results demonstrate a significant relationship between organisational readiness and the adoption of e-commerce. It also shows that there is a positive relationship between awareness of e-commerce and its adoption.
