“…Although the volume and value of transactions on the Internet is still on the rise, the ifision and use of e-business in different sectors of an economy remain uneven (Udo et al, 2008;Travica et al, 2007). Therefore, second generation e-business studies have focused on sectoral absorption of e-business, the specific challenges of using ebusiness across different sectors and the potential of different sectors to integrate into the digital value chain (Zhu and Kraemer, 2005;EC, 2008).…”

This study explores antecedents to sector based e-business use. Sectoral e-business studies are valuable to understand the absorption of e-business in dzferent economic sectors, the speczj?c challenges of using e-business across different sectors and the potential of dzferent sectors to integrate into the global digital value chain. Drawing from the perceived e-readiness model (PERM) and the Organizational, Technological and Environmental (OTE) framework, an integrated e-business use model is proposed. Data were collected from a survey offirms in the horticulture sector inAustralia. Empirical analysis of the integrated model show that e-business use within the horticulture sector is at the initial state of maturity. In terms of the antecedent factors, this research shows that technology competence, financial commitment, perceived environmental e-readiness and organizational size are influential factors that directly affect e-business use. Perceived organizational e-readiness has an indirect influence on e-business use. The implications of these findings to both global IT management and e-business research are discussed. Practitioners such as governments, horticulture associations, growers and growers associations and digital marketplace operators, through understanding these factors affecting e-business use, can make effective decisions to develop their support, capabilities and oferings respectively.

“…Although e-marketplace has been common in the developed since the dot-era, such has not been the case in the developing world (Hafez, 2006;Humphrey et al, 2003;Pucihar and Podlogar, 2006;Travica et al, 2007). A number of factors have been attributed to the challenges with promoting e-marketplaces in the developing world.…”

“…A number of factors have been attributed to the challenges with promoting e-marketplaces in the developing world. Travica et al (2007) highlight lack of trust as one of the reasons for the limited adoption and use of e-marketplaces in the developing world. As a result, buyers and sellers are often unwilling to sign up for emarketplace services.…”

“…Although they were motivated by emarketplace success stories in the developed world, it was important that they also accounted for contextual differences between the two worlds. E-marketplace environment in the developing world has been characterised with limited trust and lack of awareness of online transaction benefits (Travica et al, 2007;Humphrey et al, 2003) due to preference for faceto-face and open market culture (Mbarika et al, 2005). Moreover, limited infrastructure including e-payment services and supporting logistics to distribute online purchased items constrain e-commerce transactions (Kshetri, 2007).…”

The purpose of this study is to understand the formation and failure of an e-marketplace pioneer in a developing country. Much of the research on e-marketplaces focuses on the developed world. Within the limited literature on the developing world, the dominant focus has been on user adoption and related constraints. Little research thus exists on how emarketplaces are formed and whether they succeed or fail. This study therefore follows qualitative interpretive case study methodology to investigate the formation and failure of an e-marketplace pioneer in a developing country. The findings show that the e-marketplace was formed without a clear e-business model and without enough attention to the developing country environment. The failure was subsequently caused by inability to generate revenue and failure to renew domain name license. The paper advises potential entrepreneurs to pay attention to their local environment and develop e-business models with appropriate revenue options to guide their e-marketplace initiatives.KEYWORDS: e-business, e-business model, e-marketplace, interpretive case study, developing country, Ghana INTRODUCTIONThe purpose of this study is to understand the formation and failure of an e-marketplace pioneer in a developing country. Continuing growth of the Internet and related Web technologies offers entrepreneurial opportunities for advanced e-business models such as emarketplaces (Truong and Bhuiyan, 2011). E-marketplace generally refers to an electronic platform that enables multiple buyers and sellers to exchange information about products and services and engage in economic transactions (Molla and Deng, 2009;O'Reilly and Finnegan, 2009). Since the dot-com era from the late 1990s to the early 2000s, e-marketplace has attracted much research attention in the e-business literature (see Standing et al., 2010;Wang et al., 2008). However, the bulk of this attention has been on the developed world.Relatively little empirical research therefore exists on e-marketplaces from the developing world (e.g. Pare, 2003;Pucihar and Podlogar, 2006;Humphrey et al., 2003). Within the limited developing country literature, the dominant focus has been on adoption and use by buyers and sellers and the challenges involved. As a result, not much empirical research exists on how e-marketplaces are formed and whether they succeed or fail. Researching e-marketplace formation and outcome is important because the findings can help researchers to understand the developmental phase of the technology before its adoption and use. Moreover, the findings can offer rich insight to potential entrepreneurs on how to found e-marketplace innovation in developing countty context while avoiding failure.This study therefore investigates the formation and failure of E-GhanaMarket (pseudonym), a pioneer e-marketplace start-up in the developing country context of Ghana. The research question motivating the study concerns how e-marketplaces in developing countries get formed and why they may fail. To address the research ...

A peer-teaching method has been implemented in Construction Project Management Scheduling (CPMS) course that focuses on Project Management Software (PMS) learning. The two graduate students, who had recently graduated from our undergraduate programs and were enrolled in the CPMS course were required to learn and teach the PMS package, Primavera, (as their course project) to the remaining undergraduate students in the course. This learning method promotes topic retention, as the student is required to be the expert on the topic. The students were only required to teach this one topic, which consisted of one class period (~2hrs). The results were verified through in-course surveys, objectively comparing assignment grades from a professor taught PMS (Microsoft Project), and graduate student reflection summary. The results show that the graduate students not only enjoyed teaching the topic, but they feel that their comprehension had increased by the employed teaching method. Additionally, the results show that the undergraduates students' learning was not adversely affected by having their fellow students provide instruction on software usage. The survey also indicates that the undergraduate students preferred the peer-teaching method to standard professor lecture and demonstration. The paper concludes with recommendations for future work.
