Abstract

The purpose of this research is to examine the drivers of Web-based B2B systems adoption from an institutional perspective by means of comparison between durable and nondurable goods-producing industries. A questionnaire survey was developed to collect data from manufacturing firms. Structural Equation Modeling using EQS was conducted to analyze the data. Results revealed that the durability characteristic of goods produced plays a moderating role in the impact of institutional pressures on the top management support of Web-based B2B systems adoption. Results also indicated that top management support, and B2B relationship quality have a direct impact on the extent of adoption and use of Web-based B2B systems. The present study contributes to the continuing discussion about why organizations respond differently to institutional pressures and vary in the level of use of Web-based B2B applications.
