E-Business and technology issues in emerging countries
Some literatures have recognized that SMEs in developing countries have a slower adoption rate compared to other developed countries which is caused by environmental,
managerial and organizational constraint that made developing countries encounter greater risks than developed countries.
Moreover, emerging countries often faces several issues including lack of e-Business policies and regulation, inadequate infrastructure, trust and security.
In some developing countries, personal computer (PC) penetration has not been well distributed is also an evident of
low e-business readiness. For instance,and revealed that PC
distribution in Philippines and Thailand is only 20PC per thousand people, whereas in Singapore is 510 PC. In some
part of Indonesia, telecommunication infrastructure is still in a poor state where there is only 0.2% of telephone line
density (Economist Intelligence Unit, [32]).
