The purpose of this study is to identify enablers of and barriers to E-Commerce in Tanzanian small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Tanzania is classified as a least developed country (LDC) and has received relatively little research attention with respect to E-Commerce in the SME sector. The study is qualitative in nature and a set of semi-structured interviews were used to collect data. 32 SMEs were interviewed. A thematic analysis approach was used for reporting SME's experiences, perspectives, and meanings, whilst examining the ways in which events, realities, meanings, and experiences come about. The study unearthed contextual understanding of E-Commerce and the challenges faced by Tanzanian SMEs. Factors perceived to be conducive for E-Commerce, include the availability of business resources, specifically business relationships with ICT foreign companies; top management support; the use of mobile technology for interactive and transactive purposes with consumers and suppliers; and the strategic use of mobile phones to avoid ICT-related challenges such as those associated with fixed line telephone and Internet-enabled desktop computing.

Abstract-The previous studies that applied the Resource Based View (RBV), to examine the impact of IT resource on IT (Information Technology) competencies, often show different results. This study intends to investigate the impact of IT resources (core communication technology, group collaboration enterprise competences "inter-organization system usage") on IT capabilities (infrastructure, empowerment and functional capabilities) trying to discuss some empirical limitation of testing RBV such as able to disentangle the effects from a variety of sources, and how IT resources complement with other IT resources. Data were collected from 83 IT employees involved in Sudanese banking and insurance sector. A questionnaire was used to collect data. Reliability and factor analysis was conducted to ensure goodness of the data; regression analysis conducted to test the relationships between variables. The findings of this study do disentangle the effects on IT capabilities from a variety of sources. Moreover, it shows how IT resource complements each other in order to generate the outcome of capability.
