加纳制造型中小企业B2B电子商务采用程度及其对竞争优势的影响研究
发布时间：2024-02-21 11:24
随着信息技术的涌现,特别是互联网应用,已经变成了中小企业不可或缺的部分。在当今瞬息万变的竞争环境下,企业对企业(B2B)电子商务采用已经成为大部分中小企业(SMEs)获得持续竞争优势的重要手段。但已有事实表明,由于资源的可获得性不同,企业应用B2B电子商务获得核心竞争优势的能力也存在明显的差别。在发达国家中有完整的关于B2B电子商务采用的影响因素以及电子商务对中小企业的帮助的记录,但是在发展中国家特别是撒哈拉以南的非洲国家,鲜有完善的记录和研究。虽然一些已有研究也探讨了中小制造企业在不同程度上对B2B电子商务的采用,但却忽略了对于电子商务不同采用程度的考虑,同时也未能识别不同程度电子商务的采用对企业竞争优势获取的差异性影响。同样,已有研究也尚未能全面分析企业B2B电子商务采用的影响因素,因此,亟待对企业(B2B)电子商务应用过程中的潜在影响因素进行全面而深入的研究。本研究以加纳制造型中小企业为研究对象,旨在探讨中小企业B2B电子商务采用程度及其对企业竞争优势的影响。为实现这一研究目标,本文基于创新应用和B2B电子商务采用的相关理论,借鉴TOE(Technological,Organiz...
