Abstract

Electronic commerce has allowed businesses to grow globally by breaking down barriers that many believed could not be overcome. Although large companies often outperform small and medium-sized businesses, e-commerce allows them to compete with them in some areas. Surprisingly, there is a lack of theoretical evidence regarding e-commerce net benefits for a small and medium-sized business that operates in the context of Business-to-Business. We expand the previous model of information system success by analyzing the role of game dynamics and user satisfaction in the intention to use e-commerce and its net benefits in the success of the new e-commerce platform. To help predict the success of a new e-commerce platform we collect 522 responses from a pool of clients of a small company that sells products to Hotels, Restaurants, and Cafes.

The results contribute to a better understanding of e-commerce net benefits while developing a new e-commerce platform and provide valuable practical contributions for small companies that have limited marketing and information systems.
