Abstract
This paper studies the adoption of e-business by manufacturing firms. We augment the Technology–Organization–Environment (TOE) framework to consider two organizational features, namely, production outsourcing and technological cooperation. We test the model on a longitudinal sample of Spanish firms covering the period 2002–2014. The results reveal that firms that outsource production are more likely to adopt Supplier-to-Business (S2B) and Business-to-Business (B2B). Technological cooperation with customers and suppliers also has a positive impact on S2B and B2B adoption.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Engineering and Technology Management (JET-M) is an international scholarly refereed research journal which aims to promote the theory and practice of technology, innovation, and engineering management.
The journal links engineering, science, and management disciplines. It addresses the issues involved in the planning, development, and implementation of technological capabilities to shape and accomplish the strategic and operational objectives of an organization. It covers not only R&D management, but also the entire spectrum of managerial concerns in technology-based organizations. This includes issues relating to new product development, human resource management, innovation process management, project management, technological fusion, marketing, technological forecasting and strategic planning.
The journal provides an interface between technology and other corporate functions, such as R&D, marketing, manufacturing and administration. Its ultimate goal is to make a profound contribution to theory development, research and practice by serving as a leading forum for the publication of scholarly research on all aspects of technology, innovation, and engineering management.
