The size of the organization has also been identified as a
predictor of IT and more specifically, SCM systems adoption [54,57]. Large firms tend to be leaders in adopting e-commerce, as they possess the IT resources and capability to leverage IT investments over a large revenue base.
Therefore, some researchers have argued that the dominance of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)
in emerging economies poses a structural inhibitor to
e-commerce adoption and use [29]. However, a recent
empirical study shows that contrary to this belief, firm size
does not have a significant effect on B2B e-commerce adoption [30]. Chen [14] found that small firms in the IT industry in Taiwan are pressured to adopt B2B e-commerce
systems but do not do so because of the financial and
human resource costs. Trappey and Trappey [64] suggest
that other organizational considerations for B2B e-commerce adoption decisions in Taiwan are the IT/MIS department budgets; risks associated with upgrades,
redesign, and implementation of e-commerce systems; and
return on investment.
