Title:
Effect of environmental context on ICT adoption among rural-based small and medium enterprises in Malaysia
Abstract :


The objective of this paper is to examine the effect of the
environmental context on the adoption of ICT among rural-based small and
medium enterprises (SMEs) in Malaysia. Two hypotheses were formulated
to answer the objectives of study; (i) there is significant relationship
between information intensity and ICT adoption, and (ii) there is
significant relationship between competition intensity and ICT adoption.
A quantitative research design based on the questionnaire survey was
used to collect the data. A total of 1000 questionnaires were mailed and
167 usable responses were received. The findings reveal that both
information intensity and competition intensity had positive significant
relationship with ICT adoption among rural-based SMEs in Malaysia.
These findings may be of help to rural-based SME owner/managers and the
policy makers in finding solution for the successful implementation of
ICT. Key words: Small and medium enterprises (SMEs), ICT adoption,
environment, information intensity, competition intensity
