“…Grandon and Pearson (2004) found that organizational readiness, external pressure, perceived ease of use, and perceived usefulness are able to affect the adoption of e-commerce among SMEs in the United States. Thatcher et al (2006), in their examination of e-commerce adoption in Taiwan, found that organizational, industrial, governmental, and cultural factors played key roles in organizations' e-commerce adoption decisions. Joo and Kim (2004) found that external pressure and organizational size both have positive relationships with organizational adoption of e-marketplaces.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this work was to construct a new E-commerce innovation and adoption model that takes into account various stages of e-commerce adoption (interactive, non-interactive and stabilised) and covers technological, organisational and environmental factors. This was tested using data collected from manufacturing and service companies in Saudi Arabia to reveal inhibitors and catalysts for E-commerce adoption. Design/methodology/approachThis study uses new data from surveys from 202 companies and then uses exploratory factor analysis and structural equation modelling for analyses. FindingsThis study shows that the new Stage Oriented Model (SOM) is valid and can reveal specific detailed nuances of E-commerce adoption within a particular setting. Surprising results show that Saudi Arabia is not so very different to developed Western countries in respect to E-commerce adoption. However there are some important differences which are discussed in detail. Research limitations/implicationsA new stage oriented model (SOM) for e-commerce adoption is provided which may be used by other IS adoption researchers. Practical implicationsManagers responsible for the adoption of E-commerce in SA, the Middle East and beyond can learn from these findings to speed up adoption rates and make E-commerce more effective. Social implicationsThis work may help spread E-commerce use throughout Saudi Arabia, the Middle East and to other developing nations. Originality/valueThe results add to the extremely limited number of empirical studies that has been conducted to investigate E-commerce adoption in the context of Arabic countries.

“…The research was mostly conducted in the United States (Grandon and Pearson, 2004), the United Kingdom (Matlay and Addis, 2003), Canada (Sparling et al, 2007) and Italy (Scupola, 2003). More recent studies have focused on developing countries, including Latin America (Davis, 1999), Mongolia (Enns and Huff, 1999), Ukraine (Jennex and Amoroso, 2002), Malaysia (Mukti, 2000), Thailand (Wongpinunwatana and Lertwongsatien, 2003), Taiwan (Thatcher et al, 2006), South Africa (Moodley and Morris, 2004), Iran (Ghobakhloo et al, 2011), Nigeria (Ma'aruf and Abdulkadir, 2012), Sri Lanka (Kapurubandara and Lawson, 2006), and very recently China, where there has been very rapid ecommerce growth. Most of the studies focused on macro level (or global) constraints and explored the barriers and motivators in e-commerce adoption.…”

E-commerce is internet based business activity, such as online retail activity. In Saudi Arabia, e-commerce has not kept pace with the global growth of online shopping. In order to find the reasons for low participation in ecommerce, this study explored the influence of several cultural factors in Saudi Arabia related to age, gender, and computer proficiency. Hypotheses were developed for the demographic and cultural factors influencing the adoption of e-commerce in Saudi Arabia based on the literature review. To test the hypotheses, data were collected by means of an online questionnaire. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics, K-means clustering, and hypothesis testing through Chi-square tests. Three categories of online shoppers were identified during the analysis. The study found that factors related to age, gender, and computer proficiency influenced the adoption and use of online shopping in the kingdom. Three kinds of online retail participants were found: high frequency users, moderate frequency users, and low frequency users. High frequency users were usually young people, with a relatively higher percentage of women showing superior skill in shopping online. Moderate users were mostly male and middle aged, and their ICT knowledge was moderate. Low frequency male and female users were most likely to be between the ages of 18 and 24. This study will potentially assist professionals interested in services supported by ICT, the wider business community, and the government in undertaking comprehensive, effective, and sustainable solutions for the betterment of ecommerce in Saudi Arabia.
