Also, the extent of presented paper does not allow us to display all obtained results in the suitable visual form.…”

This paper provides a theoretically grounded model of e-commerce adoption to explain differences in adoption rates among countries. The model extends the existing culture-policy-technology (CPT) framework to examine causal relationships between the technological, institutional, and cultural factors in order to examine country-level e-commerce adoption. Thus, interesting relationships among macro-level factors are hypothesized. The paper highlights the important of risk mitigating mechanisms or institutions to facilitate adoption of e-commerce in countries with high uncertainty avoidance. A call for empirical examination into country level adoption is answered by analyzing macro level data from 69 countries. The hypotheses are confirmed using PLS analytical procedures. The study is timely as e-commerce technology has now taken hold in several countries but its revenues in proportion to the overall total revenues remain low. The study is motivated by significant different in e-commerce adoption rates among countries. The paper makes significant contributions to literature and practice.

According to Mladenović et al (2017) Going beyond general effectiveness, it is crucial to recognise the unique responsibilities that leaders have when their jobs are international in scope and involve cross-border responsibilities (Mladenović, Mladenović et al 2017). According to Dau (2016), Leadership in cross-border contexts requires leaders to (1) adopt a multicultural perspective rather than a country-specific perspective; (2) balance local and global demands which can be contradictory; and (3) work with multiple cultures simultaneously rather than working with one dominant culture (Dau 2016).…”
