Abstract: E-marketplaces began to receive considerable interest in the late 1990s, and after going through a gloomy period from 1999 through 2002, e-marketplaces now appear set to make a major contribution to the business-to-business (B2B) e-commerce market. However, in the past years, the rate of adoption of e-marketplaces among Taiwanese small and medium enterprises (SMEs) has remained lower than expected. This low adoption rate is particularly difficult to understand given that the Taiwanese government has constructed one of the highest quality national information infrastructures in the world, and has encouraged SMEs to seek global trade opportunities over time. Accordingly, this work explores the influences on Taiwanese SME decisions regarding e-marketplace adoption.
