The authors of this unique volume provide a timely and valuable
perspective on how technology and the Internet revolution are
changing business and spurring development across the world,
especially in emerging countries. Utilizing a framework grounded in
rigorous theory, they provide a fine-grained understanding of
electronic commerce adoption processes by public and private sector
entities in developing countries. In so doing, they consider how
each exchange encounter is shaped by, and in turn shapes,
relational characteristics that form the basis for growth and
development. Using a resource-based view of economies, the authors
hypothesize that differences in the adoption of electronic commerce
technologies in developing economies can be attributed to a
sense-and-respond capability of governments with respect to new
technologies, which they term 'technological opportunism'. One of
their main objectives is to establish the distinctiveness of
technology opportunities from related constructs, such as
innovativeness, and show that it offers a significantly better
explanation of technology adoption and diffusion than do existing
constructs. The book examines a number of developing countries'
experiences with electronic government, bringing real life
experience to the adoption of an e-government model by looking at
the issue from strategic as well as operational perspectives. The
volume's ground-breaking research and conclusions will be of great
interest to professionals, researchers and students in the areas of
e-commerce and economic development; government officials of
developing and newly industrialized countries contemplating
e-government initiatives; and information technology managers.
