Enterprises: Towards an Industry-Oriented Framework and a Context-Specific Instrument
Abstract:
There has been a need to develop an industry-oriented e-commerce
readiness assessment tool for the construction sector, especially in developing
countries context. This present study proposed such a framework that properly
consider both the organizational and environmental e-readiness and pay more
appropriately attention on information issue. A set of context-specific measurement
items that is specific to the Vietnamese construction industry was developed.
The proposed tool can assist well construction firms in developing countries
in creating their own effective action plan towards the initial adoption of
Internet-based B2B e-commerce into their business.
