Abstract: Abstract Most of the studies analysing the causes and consequences of e-business adoption tend to select firms controlled by their size of operation and product mix. Given the paucity of such studies in developing countries, we analyse factors that have the potential to influence the adoption of internal e-business technologies. Internal and external e-business technologies are discussed in Section 4.3. The main objectives of the chapter are: identification of clusters of firms based on choice of technology; to classify firms in each cluster based on pre-selected criteria; to investigate factors that mediated in the adoption of a particular technology; to analyse these factors within a multivariate analysis framework in order to identify the key determinants of adoption.
