“…The existence of a web budget reflects management's commitment to strategically using the web to facilitate the mission and goals of the organization (Finn et al 2006). Therefore, we posit that NPOs that have a dedicated web budget are more likely to adopt web disclosure.…”

Informed by theories of technological innovation, this paper develops and empirically tests a web disclosure adoption model. In order to test the model, a questionnaire was administered to a sample of 775 organizations in an eight-county regional area in the Northeastern United States. Results reveal that Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and organizational characteristics are related to web disclosure adoption. Specifically, there is more disclosure of performance information online when the CEO believes that the web is useful for promoting transparency and accountability, when the organization views the web as a communication or strategic tool, when more employees have technical expertise, and when the board of directors is more supportive of web technology. We found more web disclosure of financial information when the organization possesses the technological readiness for web disclosure. This paper contributes to research by identifying the main factors that facilitate web disclosure adoption in nonprofit contexts.

“…Research into ICT implementation could be readily found covering a variety of contexts such as Vietnam's economic development (Konstadakopulos, 2005), Australian remote construction projects (Weippert et al, 2003), Greek tourism promotion (Buhalis and Deimezi, 2004), the Swiss business sector (Hollenstein, 2004), and non-for profit organization settings elsewhere (Finn et al, 2006). The emergence of wireless networks has further elevated the significance of ICT to our everyday work and life (Fiser, 2004, Liu et al, 2003, Shaffer, 2000.…”

Cost efficiency has been a dominant perspective in the traditional IT literature. However, in complex technology and business environment, the widely recognized cost efficient assumption of information technology has been increasingly challenged. Drawing from a case study of wireless network implementation situated in a politically sensitive workplace, this paper provided practice insights for IT managers in today's networked economy. More specifically, stories experienced in the case study illustrated that despite well-calculated cost efficiency of wireless network infrastructure, the radical implementation process in the case organization encountered enormous challenges and opposition due to the fact that administrators failed to consider various stakeholders' positions and interests. Eventually, the implementation objectives and outcome were considerably undermined. Implications from this empirical case research reemphasized the significance of understanding political forces situated in any business environment where different stakeholders hold conflicting interests. Lessons learned from the case story further encouraged IT managers and policy makers to better strategize emerging information technology in general and wireless networks in particular as the whole global society and business environment are increasingly facing an emerging wireless world.

“…The adoption of ICT by SMEs has been a focus for many researchers worldwide (Al-Qirim, 2005;Burke, 2005;Ihlstrom & Nilsson, 2003;Levy & Powell, 2003;Parker & Castleman, 2007a;2007b;Taylor & Murphy, 2004) with varying results in terms of identifying the empirical significance of ICT adoption factors for SMEs (Parker & Castleman, 2007b). The adoption of ICT and the implementation of e-business practices often require SMEs to transform their thinking about products, services, markets and customers (Finn et al, 2006;Ihlstrom & Nilsson, 2003;Shiels et al, 2003). In an interconnected digital world, new networks of exchange and collaboration may emerge, as well as new markets and new sources of competition (Chaffey, 2000;Clayton & Waldron, 2003;Pigneur, 2000).…”

“…This is important when we look at not-for-profit SMEs, which are not driven to maximise profits but are instead bound by social, ethical and philosophical principles (Finn et al, 2006). For these organisations, ICT use may support a range of business purposes such as community engagement, marketing and fundraising, rather than simply optimising profit and efficiency.…”

Supporting SME Collecting Organisations: A Business Model Framework for Digital Heritage Collections

Increasing numbers of heritage collecting organisations such as archives, galleries, libraries and museums are moving towards the provision of digital content and services based on the collections they hold. The collections sector in Australia is characterised by a diverse range of often very small organisations, many of which are struggling with the transition to digital service delivery. One major reason for this struggle is the lack of suitable underlying business models for these organisations as they attempt to achieve a sustainable digital presence. The diverse characteristics of organisations within the collections sector make it difficult, if not impossible, to identify a single business model suitable for all organisations. We argue in this paper that the development of a flexible e-business model framework is a more useful strategy for achieving this goal. This paper presents a preliminary framework based on the literature, utilising the Core + Complement (C+) Business Model Framework for Content Providers initially developed by and outlines how the framework will be refined and investigated empirically in future research within the Australian collections sector.
