dc.description.abstract |
Despite the considerable number of electronic B2B marketplaces formed and the
benefits cited as arising from their use, many have gone out of business. This
exploratory study seeks to provide a qualitative exposition of the specific
factors influencing the adoption of consortium-owned B2B e-marketplaces. The
study is based upon case studies of twelve companies trading through three
different consortium B2B e-marketplaces. Twenty-six specific factors are
identified and their impact on adoption is discussed. The identification of a
significant number of factors specific to this domain provides real meaning and
depth to those interested in the future of e-marketplaces. In particular, the
factors identified provide those that operate such e-marketplaces with a
detailed and actionable understanding of the issues they should address in order
to survive, and provide users or potential users of consortium marketplaces with
a practical framework with which to assess individual marketplaces. The factors
can also form the basis of future studies of other types of marketplaces and of
quantitative studies of adoption. |
