An Integrated Model of Information Systems Adoption in Small Businesses
Open accessAbstract
:Based on theories from the technological innovation literature, this study develops an integrated model of infonnation systems (IS) adoption in small businesses. The model specifies contextual variables such as decision-maker characteristics, IS characteristics, organizational characteristics, and environmental characteristics as primary detenninants oflS adoption in small businesses. A questionnaire survey was conducted in 166 small businesses. Data analysis shows that small businesses with certain CEO characteristics (innovativeness and level of IS knowledge), innovation characteristics (relative advantage, compatibility, and complexity of IS), and organizational characteristics (business size and level of employees’ IS knowledge) are more likely to adopt IS. While CEO and innovation characteristics are important detenninants of the decision to adopt, they do not affect the extent of IS adoption. The extent of IS adoption is mainly detennined by organizational characteristics. Finally, the environmental characteristic of competition has no direct effect on small business adoption of lS.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
