Another contribution of this study is that it fills the current
gap in the e-SCMliterature by confirming the usefulness of the
TOE framework for studying e-SCM adoption. Most previous
studies examined how e-SCM adoption benefits organizations
[85,86]. This study suggests that the extent of e-SCM adoption
not only is determined simply by the characteristics of the
technology itself, but also depends on other factors related to
the internal organization and the external environment. The
results show the utility of the proposed model, which is
potentially a theoretical framework for studying other IT
innovations such as radio frequency identification (RFID) and
cloud computing services.
