Determinants of the adoption of information technology: a case study of electrical and electric goods manufacturing firms in India

Article Abstract:

A study investigated the effects of three key factors on the adoption of information technology by small and medium-sized Indian electrical equipment and supplies manufacturing businesses. These three key factors are company size, level of organization's skilled workforce and entrepreneurial ability as well as the entrepreneurs' perspective of market share and the significance they accord to R&D and product quality. Findings show that all three factors are significant determinants of the degree of IT adoption by these small and medium-sized Indian companies.
