Abstract: Abstract The purpose of this study is to develop and validate an institutional model to investigate the relationships among institutional drivers, the degree of e-business entrepreneurship, actual usage, and long-term sustainability of business organizations. A questionnaire was developed to collect data from 41 manufacturing firms with a sample of 328 respondents. Structural equation modeling using EQS was conducted to analyze the data. The results reveal a significant impact of institutional pressures on the degree of e-business entrepreneurship. The findings also reveal a direct relationship between the degree of e-business entrepreneurship and the actual usage of e-business innovations. Moreover, the degree of e-business entrepreneurship and the actual usage of e-business innovations have a direct impact on long-term sustainability. The present empirical study contributes to a better understanding of the existing theories and practices of e-business entrepreneurship and e-innovations in today’s business organizations. This study also provides insights into the drivers and the role of entrepreneurship in manufacturing firms with strategies of e-business adoption and use to gain long-term sustainability.
