Study on environment factors affecting B2B e-marketplace adoption in China: From e-readiness perspective

Abstract

This paper examines the key environment factors affecting B2B e-marketplace adoption in China. First, we classify adoption process into two stages: pre-adoption stage and post-adoption stage. Then, refer to e-readiness research and particular environment characteristic in China, three environment factors are identified and 6 hypotheses are formulated, which are tested by relative data collected from 379 Chinese enterprises. The result indicates that government E-readiness and market force E-readiness have positive influence on adoption decision both in pre-adoption and post-adoption stage. However, although support industry e-readiness has significant effect on decision in post-adoption stage, it does not show significant influence on adoption decision in pre-adoption stage.
