“…One, ICTs can increase distribution channels of financial knowledge through development of web portals that could be accessed by the BDS and the enterprise members (Gerda, 2009). Two, ICTs support financial exchange software that makes e-commerce possible (Boman & Sandin, 2005). Three, ICTs improve access to microfinance by use of smart cards and information systems providing loan tracking, tracking of financial disbursement of funds, financial projections and branch management information which then help microfinance institutions reach clients more efficiently.…”

Resource-Based View (RBV) of the firm in strategic management literature focuses on firm internal endowments in terms of resources, capabilities and dynamic capabilities for their development. By establishing a learning mechanism, where they are able to adapt and influence the environment, enterprises build a dynamic competence and sustainable competitive advantage. This paper posits that this dynamic competence or strategic flexibility as referred to by strategic management scholars is a phenomenon that needs to be understood by scholars and practitioners in MSEs so that effective intervention programs can be designed. The paper argues that by treating strategic flexibility as a CAS provides a methodology within which models based on known theories in strategic management are employed and tested using system dynamics. The paper also posits that System Dynamics (SD) modeling is a good modeling methodology that captures the dynamism in a CAS. The paper therefore presents a conceptual model for strategic flexibility and a system dynamic model that reveals the variables in play and their relationships. In so doing the paper exposes influence points in the CAS that act as intervention points by practitioners in strategic flexibility of firms. The paper presents ICTs as interventions at the influence points and presents a generic strategic flexibility system dynamic model that brings to play the impact of ICT.

“…Deploying intelligent agents or mobile agents in M-commerce has been studied for several years. Typical research includes general purpose agent-based M-commerce systems (Bădică, Ganzha, & Paprzycki, 2005), as well as specific M-commerce applications such as context-aware negotiation (Matos & Madeira, 2005), stock trading (Boman & Sandin, 2006), and E-Marketplaces (Kowalczyk, Braun, Mueller, Rossak, Frankczyk, & Speck, 2003).…”

Mobile commerce (M-commerce) is an attractive research area due to its relative novelty, rapid growth, and great potential in business applications. Over the last decade, various M-commerce applications have been geared to target mobile users and achieved great success. However, most M-commerce applications are developed by different retailers for special purposes and thus lack fully automated business processes to integrate various existing services. This paper presents a novel infrastructure, Call U Back (CUB), for M-commerce applications. The proposed scheme integrates concepts of agent and context-aware workflow to implement automated trading tasks and compose services dynamically. The context awareness is based on ontology and logic models which derive from a set of descriptive contextual attributes for knowledge sharing and logical inference. Based upon the context-aware workflow analysis, the system will generate automated intelligent agents to conduct commerce transactions on behalf of mobile users. The middleware layer of the CUB server has been implemented. An experimental prototype of the system is under development and testing.
