Abstract
This research investigated evaluation models for understanding the value of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Operational Risk Management (ORM) in Medium and Small Enterprises (MSEs). Multiple regression, Repeated-Measures Analysis of Variance (RM-ANOVA) and Repeated-Measures Multivariate Analysis of Variance (RM-MANOVA) were performed. The findings of the distribution revealed that only one variable made a significant percentage contribution to the level of ICT operation in MSEs, the Payback method (β = 0.410, p < .000). It may thus be inferred that the Payback method is the prominent variable, explaining the variation in level of evaluation models affecting ICT adoption within MSEs. Consequently, looking at (1) degree of variability explained and (2) predictors, the results revealed that the variable contributed approximately 88.4 % of the variations in evaluation models affecting ICT adoption within MSEs. The analysis of variance also revealed that the regression coefficients were real and did not occur by chance.
