“…They have been identified differently by different individuals and organisations so that a small and medium enterprise in a country may be perceived differently in another country. According to the Algerian ministry of commerce, an SMEs is defined regardless of its legal status in terms of providing either good or service or even both [9] [10], by determining specific characteristics, as presented in Table1.…”

Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) are regarded as the engine of the growth of the world economy. They had recently experienced rapid growth and improved their business activities in terms of customers’ number and revenue expansion when they began to embrace e-commerce and started using it in their business. However, although there is a growing interest in e-commerce, its use is still insufficient in Algeria. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the factors that influence the adoption of e-commerce by SMEs in Algeria. This study adopts a qualitative methodology which involves in-depth, structured interviews to identify the factors that affect SMEs for the adoption of e-commerce in Algeria. The result of research found the main factors hindering the adoption of e-commerce by SMEs in Algeria are the e-payment methods, non-readiness of banks, lack of legal protection and lack in awareness of the benefits of e-commerce, as well as fear of risks. However, some other elements are less significant to influence the adoption of e-commerce. These research findings will give an addition in terms of bringing and giving a chance to the SMEs' leaders and the Algerian economic officials and a clear view of e-commerce practices. This can help them to design a strategy to remove barriers tactfully to its advantage.

This paper explores the dairy industry cluster in Rwanda and its competitive advantage basing on the Porter's diamond model. Additionally, this study identifies other factors critical to the competitiveness of the dairy industry cluster in Rwanda and includes them to the diamond model to create a multiple diamond model. This study argues that the direction taken to increase milk supply in Rwanda by increasing the number of cattle farmers through the government program known as "One cow per poor family" is not suitable in that it exerts more pressure on already scarce resources such as land. In fact, this study suggests that given the challenges facing the dairy industry, more emphasis should be put on improving efficiency and increasing productivity in the value chain. This study proposes the multiple-diamond model which extends Porter's Diamond model to include other factors central to the competitiveness of the dairy industry cluster in Rwanda. To test the effect of the proposed multiple-diamond determinants, ARDL test was run. The findings confirmed the effect of trade openness on the dairy cluster industry competitiveness. Development assistance and milk cattle were found to have a negative and significant effect on the dairy cluster industry competitiveness while FDI inflow and market sophistication were found to have non-significant effect. The study concludes by providing recommendations for future studies in this field.

“…This is to the effect that countries that are preparing to enact or revise their consumer protection laws for e-commerce may consider aligning their legislation with the UN Regulations 2012 (Putra, 2013). Thus, e-commerce needs specific laws (such as the ones cited above) to address issues arising from e-commerce transactions (Chaabna & Wang, 2015).…”
