“…Goode and Stevens (2000) demonstrated that business size, previously the best indicator of technology adoption, was not significantly related to IS innovation adoption. Nevertheless, the typical argument is that bigger businesses have a noteworthy need, resources, skills and experience and the capability to survive failures than smaller businesses (Levenburg et al, 2006). Hence, it can be argued that larger firms are more probably to embrace ERP systems.…”

The focus of enterprise resource planning (ERP) adoption among Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) has attracted the interest of many Information System (IS) researchers. As a result of its great business values, the adoption of ERP solution is increasingly growing within HEIs. However, very limited studies have focused their attention towards understanding the determinants of ERP adoption among HEIs, especially in Egypt. Furthermore, the adoption of ERP systems in Egypt is still in the beginning stage with no many adopters among HEIs. Therefore, this study aims to fill in the gap by investigating technological, organizational and environmental (TOE) framework among HEIs. Accordingly, the objective of this research paper is mainly trying to introduce a conceptualized research model that can be used to examine ERP adoption among HEIs. This article contributes to the development of theoretical framework of the ERP adoption to explain the competitive advantage within HEIs by using TOE framework. The current study will provide guidelines to ERP providers, the government, and HEIs in Egypt to accelerate ERP adoption.

“…Firstly, the industry sector within which organizations operate has been shown to influence IT adoption (Alshamaila et al, 2013;Oliviera et al, 2014;Forman, 2005). Different business needs in different industry sectors may affect innovation uptakes (Levenburg et al, 2006;Prasad et al, 2014;Ifinedo, 2011). Secondly, larger businesses arguably possess more resources, skills, experience and hence ability to adopt new innovation than smaller businesses.…”

Cloud computing is a recent computing paradigm enabling organizations to have access to sophisticated computing services via the Internet on a fee-for-service basis. It provides Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) with opportunities to become as technologically advanced as their larger counterparts, without significant financial outlays. This paper examined the important factors that influence SMEs' adoption of cloud computing technology. Drawing upon aspects of the Technology, Organization and Environment framework and Diffusion of Innovation Theory, we developed a research model of SMEs' adoption of cloud computing and tested it through an online survey of 149 Australian SMEs. Data was analyzed using multiple regression methods, with results showing that SMEs were influenced by factors related to advantaging their organizational capability (i.e., relative advantage, quality of service and awareness) rather than risk-related factors (i.e., security, privacy and flexibility). The findings offer insights to SMEs owners, Cloud service providers and government in establishing Cloud computing adoption strategies for SMEs.

This research aims to study two determinant factors of the ICT adoption and use in the Spanish micro-enterprise’s framework. Furthermore, this article analyses the combined influence of the age and the training experience of the entrepreneur according to the use of ICT in the company. Previous research has considered that the age of the entrepreneur has a negative effect while the level of education of the entrepreneur always have a positive effect in the use of ICT. However, any previous research has found the analysis of the combined effects of both variables together: the age and training, since the combined effects may be different from the effects of each variable separately. On this basis it has analysed a sample of 148 Spanish firms with fewer than 10 employees. The survey results seem to conclude that the specific training of entrepreneurs on issues related to ICT, (rather than the overall level of their training), moderates the negative effect caused by the increasing age the employer in the use of ICT.
