Purpose – This paper aims to explore internal and external organizational factors affecting electronic commerce or e-commerce systems adoption by small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Jordan. Design/methodology/approach – The authors developed a model containing factors that might support e-commerce adoption. The model was tested using confirmatory factor analysis and then used to explore the relationships between factors. The authors used qualitative and quantitative approaches, including interviews, to explore awareness and adoption of e-commerce systems by Jordanian SMEs. SMEs in Jordan were identified from the Annual Handbook Index of 2012, compiled by the Jordanian Chamber of Commerce, and 500 in the industrial and services sectors were randomly selected as the study sample. Findings – The effect of the adoption of e-commerce systems by SMEs is affected by both internal and external organizational factors, particularly readiness, strategy, managers’ perceptions and external pressure by trading partners. Readiness and external pressure are most important for achieving maximum benefit from e-commerce adoption. Research limitations/implications – The relative importance of factors affecting e-commerce adoption may vary depending on local business conditions. SME managers in Jordan who wish to benefit from e-commerce introduction must therefore invest in activities to improve SME readiness, especially information technology infrastructure. Originality/value – This study is the first to explore both internal and external organizational factors important for e-commerce adoption by Jordanian SMEs. It tells SME managers which factors are likely to affect e-commerce adoption.

This paper aims at highlighting factors contributing to late adoption of quality management systems (QMS) in the Zimbabwe hotel industry. The research answered questions on: What are the internal factors affecting adoption of QMS in hotels; What are the external factors affecting adoption of QMS in the hotels. Hotel managers and key stakeholders in the hotel industry were interviewed to get data. Focus group discussions was used to get data from hotel staff members. Directed content analysis was used to analyse data. Some of the internal factors affecting adoption of QMS in the hotel industry in Zimbabwe identified are high staff and management turnover, absence of specialised quality function, poor remuneration of hotel employees and lack of financial resources. While some of the external factors identified are high taxes and licensing fees, industry over regulation, hyperinflation, and poor industry supporting infrastructure. The study recommended for creation of hotel industry stakeholder platform to enhance adoption of QMS in the hotel industry looking at how best to ease the identified factors. There is need for a review of hotel industry operating environment from regulator perspective so as to ease the operating environment which can improve the hotels sustainability.

This empirical study investigates the influence of organisational size, internal IT capabilities and external factors, such as competitive and vendor pressure, on ERP adoption within SMEs. Existing research on ERP adoption has indentified some of the potential factors affecting SMEs, such as organisation size as one of the most significant ones. Yet none of this previous research has looked at organisational size, internal IT capabilities and external pressures in a unified framework and in context to SMEs. More specifically, this study focuses on the direct and moderating relationships which may affect an SME’s decision to adopt an ERP system. An analysis of a sample of 229 SMEs shows clear direct and moderating relationships amongst the above factors. Concrete recommendations are provided to accelerate the rate and success level of ERP adoption within SMEs.

This paper disseminates the findings from a study into the factors impacting technological innovation adoption and diffusion specific to the deployment of electronic-commerce strategies within professional service sector SMEs in Ireland. Confirmatory factor analysis was performed and seven factors relating to a firm's external/internal environment were found to underpin adoption. These are: electronic-commerce capability; willingness to change/rate of response to new technologies; technological opportunity recognition; customer orientation; sensitivity to competitive/customer environments; perceptions of technology feasibility; and e-skills development mechanisms. t-tests revealed differences between adopters and non-adopters, and forward stepwise logistic regression is used to assess the extent to which these seven factors actually predict electronic-commerce adoption. It was found that electronic-commerce capability and the willingness to change/rate of response to new technologies are the two most important factors affecting adoption behaviours.

Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) have become a vibrant and dynamic sector of the world economy. Information technology plays a vital role in improving the productivity and competitiveness of SMEs. The dynamic business environment has brought fierce competition among SMEs and, therefore, requires the owners to interact with internal and external members actively. Hence, this study aims to investigate the impact of technology, organization, and environment as important factors in the performance of small and medium-sized enterprises. It also examines the mediating role of social media adoption. Items were developed to measure the various purposes of social media use in organizations, which contribute to increasing the measurement of social media usage. For the empirical investigation, this paper used a closed-ended questionnaire. Using a quantitative method, we observed 423 responses through structural equation modeling. The findings of the study indicate that technology, organization, and the environment play effective roles for SME performance. More importantly, social media adoption positively mediates the relationship between technology, organization, environment, and SME performance. The study also helps organizations realize the advantages of using social media and specifies the rationale behind an organization’s investment in social media.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate the different factors that affect using Web 2.0 applications in Omani academic libraries (OALs). Design/methodology/approach – In all, 29 interviews with directors and library staff of five OALs were conducted for the purpose of collecting data for the current research. Findings – The results indicated that there are nine internal factors and four external factors that affect using Web 2.0 applications in OALs. Internal factors include the low motivation of directors and library staff regarding using of Web 2.0 applications, lack of training and constant changes in the management structure. Meanwhile, the external factors are related to lack of policy and regulations and weakness and low speed of the internet. Practical implications – Most academic libraries in Oman have not yet adopted Web 2.0 applications to enhance their services. Therefore, this study intends to open insight into the state of Web 2.0 adoption in academic libraries and will help library managers to understand factors facing the use of Web 2.0 applications in their libraries, and this could signal a basis for policy shift in the internet infrastructure especially in the institutions of the higher education. Originality/value – This research is the first study in the field of Web 2.0 applications in OALs that investigates the factors affecting the use of Web 2.0 applications in academic libraries in general and in OALs specifically.

Purpose This study aims to evaluate cognitive, personal and environmental factors affecting investors’ behavioral intentions (BI) to invest in ṣukūk (Islamic investment certificates) in Pakistan. Design/methodology/approach Data from 462 participants were collected through survey-questionnaires by using the convenient sampling technique. Hypothesized proposed relationships among the constructs were examined by applying the structural equation modeling (SEM) technique through smart partial least squares. Findings Compatibility, internal influence, external influence and intrinsic motivation were found to be significant predictors of investors’ BI to invest in ṣukūk. In addition, it was found that the religious aspect not only affects investors’ BI positively but also works as a moderator in the relationships between BI and both internal and external influence. Practical implications The results are quite helpful for ṣukūk issuers and regulators to consider cognitive, personal and environmental factors that might enhance the adoption of ṣukūk, especially among Muslim investors. Originality/value This study is among the few research studies that shed light on investors’ BI to invest in ṣukūk. Using social cognitive theory, the study investigates the cognitive, personal and environmental factors influencing ṣukūk adoption, which were previously unexplored. In addition, this is the first study that unveils the influential factors of ṣukūk adoption in Pakistan, a Muslim-majority country.

E. coli O157:H7 bacteria – a major cause of foodborne illness – occur naturally in the intestine of cattle but do not affect the health or productivity of the animal. A cattle vaccine that significantly reduces the risk of E. coli contamination was developed and commercialized in Canada and internationally, however, adoption by cattle producers remained extremely low. Utilizing data from a survey of cow-calf producers in western Canada, this paper examines the factors affecting cattle producers’ willingness to adopt the E. coli vaccine. Education, prior awareness of the vaccine, perception of who holds primary responsibility for E. coli risk reduction, and a producer’s external (versus internal) locus of control with respect to their ability to mitigate E. coli risks within the production environment are significant determinants of willingness to adopt. Adoption incentives are also evaluated, including policy interventions, market/supply chain incentives, production protocol, and producer reputation incentives. The analysis provides lessons for the development and commercialization of vaccines and other food safety intervention strategies that yield societal and supply chain benefits beyond the individual adopter.

Purpose This study aims to identify the factors that lead non-financial companies listed in the UK to use an internal audit function (IAF) as a monitoring mechanism. Although the use of an IAF in the UK is voluntary, no prior research has examined the drivers for using one. Design/methodology/approach Financial and non-financial data were collected from the annual reports of 332 UK non-financial companies listed on the London Stock Exchange (LSE) Main Market. Univariate tests and multivariate logistic regression tests were used to test the research hypotheses. A theoretical framework based on both agency theory and transaction cost economics (TCE) theory was used to explain the economic factors affecting the use of an IAF. Findings The study provides evidence that firm size, level of internal risks, agency problem between owners and managers and existence of an effective audit committee are associated with the existence of an IAF. Thus, the need to have strong internal control and risk management systems and to reduce both internal and external agency costs drives companies to have an IAF. These results suggest the importance of IAF as an internal corporate governance tool and the effectiveness of UK governance regulations in monitoring the effectiveness of internal control systems. Practical implications Given the importance of the IAF’s corporate governance role, the study provides some policy implications. Regulators should pay more attention to the issue of maintaining an IAF, especially by large companies, the relationship between the IAF and other governance parties, especially the audit committee, and the disclosure of more relevant information about the IAF’s characteristics and practices. Originality/value This is the first study to examine the factors affecting the existence of the IAF within the UK’s distinctive regulatory approach of “comply or disclose reasons”. Furthermore, it provides a theoretical framework that explains how both the agency theory and TCE theory can interpret the adoption of internal audit.

Els flavanols, compostos polifenòlics abundants en fruites i vegetals, són beneficiosos per a la salut en afectar processos cel·lulars i fisiològic. El seu consum regular ha estat associat amb una baixa mortalitat i un baix risc de patir malalties cardiovasculars. Els flavanols que s'absorbeixen a l'intestí prim són reconeguts com xenobiòtics, de tal manera que són ràpidament conjugats en formes glucuronidades, sulfatades i metilades per enzims de fase II tant a l'intestí prim com al fetge. Els polímers dels flavanols arriben al còlon on són metabolitzats per la microbiota a àcids fenòlics de baix pes molecular. Posteriorment, tots els compostos absorbits es distribueixen en els teixits i es creu que són aquestes les formes bioactives dels flavanols. Per tant, diferents condicions experimentals com la quantitat de flavanols ingerits, el temps de consum, l'edat, el gènere o l'estat patològic de l'hoste podrien afectar la conjugació i distribució dels flavanols entre els teixits influint així en la seva funcionalitat. Amb la finalitat de testar aquesta hipòtesi, es van realitzar estudis en rates a les quals se'ls van administrar diferents dosis d'un extracte de flavanols de llavor de raïm sota diferents condicions experimentals i es van analitzar per HPLC-MS / MS les concentracions de flavanols i els seus metabòlits en plasma i teixits. Els resultats van mostrar que la quantitat de flavanols, el temps d'ingestió, l'edat i el gènere de l'hoste i el seu estat patològic influeixen en el metabolisme i la distribució dels flavanols. Mitjançant un sistema in vivo-in vitro es demostra que diferents metabòlits dels flavanols presenten diferent activitat; en concret en la síntesi de lípids. Per tant es pot concloure que tots els factors externs i interns estudiats influeixen en la metabolització i distribució dels flavanols determinant activitat fisiològica.Los flavanoles, compuestos polifenólicos abundantes en frutas y vegetales, mejoran la salud al afectar procesos celulares y fisiológicos y su consumo regular ha sido asociado con baja mortalidad y bajo riesgo de padecer enfermedades cardiovasculares. Los flavanoles que se absorben en el intestino delgado son reconocidos como xenobióticos, de tal forma que son rápidamente conjugados a su formas glucuronidasas, sulfatadas y metiladas por enzimas de fase II tanto en el intestino delgado como en el hígado. Los polímeros de los flavanoles alcanzan el colon donde son metabolizados a ácidos fenólicos de bajo peso molecular por la microbiota. Posteriormente, todos los compuestos absorbidos se distribuyen en los tejidos y se cree que son estas formas conjugadas de los flavanoles las bioactivas. Por lo tanto, distintas condiciones experimentales como la dosis de flavanoles, el tiempo de tratamiento, la edad, el género o el estado patológico del huésped podrían afectar a la conjugación y distribución de los flavanoles entre los tejidos influyendo así en su funcionalidad. Con el fin de testar esta hipótesis, se realizaron estudios en ratas a las que se les administraron diferentes dosis de un extracto de flavanoles de pepita de uva bajo distintas condiciones experimentales y se analizaron por HPLC-MS/MS las concentraciones de flavanoles y sus metabolitos en plasma y tejidos. Los resultados mostraron que la cantidad de flavanoles y el tiempo de ingestión, la edad y el género del huésped y su estado patolóagico influyen en el metabolismo y la distribución de los flavanoles. Mediante un sistema in vivo-in vitro se demuestra que distintos metabolitos de los flavanoles presentan distinta actividad; en concreto en la síntesis de lípidos. Por lo tanto se puede concluir que todos los factores externos e internos estudiados influyen en la metabolización y distribución de los flavanoles determinando actividad fisiológica.
Flavanols, important polyphenolic compounds in fruits and vegetables, improve health by affecting cellular and physiological processes and regular use has been associated with low mortality and low risk of cardiovascular disease. The flavanols that are absorbed in the small intestine are recognized as xenobiotics, and are rapidly conjugated to their glucuronidased, sulfated and methylated forms by phase II enzymes in the small intestine and the liver. The polymeric forms of flavanols reach the colon where they are metabolised to low molecular weight phenolic acids. Subsequently, all absorbed compounds are distributed in tissues and believed to be, the conjugated forms of flavanols, the bioactive ones. Thus, different experimental conditions as amount of flavanols ingested, length of the intake, age, gender or health condition of a host may affect the flavanols metabolism and distribution in tissues thus affecting their functionality. To test this hypothesis, studies in rats that were administered different amounts of an extract from grape seed flavanols under different experimental conditions, and plasma and tissue concentrations were analyzed by HPLC-MS/MS. The results showed that the amount of flavanols and time of intake, age and gender of the host and its pathological condition influence the metabolism and distribution of the flavanols. By an in vivo system-vitro it was also demonstrated that different flavanol metabolites have different activity; particularly in lipid homeostasis. Therefore it can be concluded that all studied external and internal factors influence the metabolism and distribution of flavanols determining physiological activity.

Al-Dmour, Rand. "An integration model for identifying the determinants of the adoption and implementation level of HRIS applications and its effectiveness in business organisations in Jordan." Thesis, Brunel University, 2014. http://bura.brunel.ac.uk/handle/2438/9222.
Анотація:
This thesis investigates the influence of firms’ internal and external environmental factors upon their adoption of HRIS behaviour (i.e., the variation between adopters and non-adopters) and the level of implementation of HRIS applications and its effectiveness. An integrated conceptual framework was developed for the factors that determine the organisation’s adoption and the level of practice of HRIS applications. This framework integrates ideas and elements from the Diffusion of innovation Theory (DOI) and technology organization environment (TOE) model, the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) and the IT studies in the area of HRM. Data were collected through structured-directed interviews with 236 respondents. The survey units were the shareholding companies in Jordan, and the key single respondents approach was employed. The findings of the study support that internal and external environmental factors are related not only to adoption of HRIS behaviour (i.e., the difference between adopters and non-adopters), but also to the level of implementing of HRIS applications. In comparison to each environmental dimension acting alone, the integration approach of the two internal and external dimensions gives better explanation not only of the prediction of the level of implementing of HRIS applications, but also of the prediction of adoption behaviour. Therefore, a better understanding of adoption of HRIS behaviour and the level of implementing of HRIS applications requires that firms’ environmental factors be viewed as whole (i.e., the interaction of the internal and external dimension) rather than being isolated fragments (i.e., only a single dimension). The current research contributes to the existing body of knowledge by enhancing current understanding of the organisational adoption of HRIS, which is an under-researched area in Jordan as a developing country. By employing analytical tools based on Rogers’s Innovation Diffusion Theory , UTAUT, TOE , and the findings of empirical studies of IT adoption, evidence confirms that the adoption of HRIS in the business organisations depends largely on interaction of internal and external environmental factors and the findings support the need for an integrated view of the adoption phenomenon. In that respect, this study also attempts to make an important theoretical contribution towards articulating differences in the determinants of adoption and the level of implementations of HRIS applications and its effectiveness.

Despite a Presidential Order in 2004 that launched national incentives for the use of health information technology, specifically the Electronic Health Record (EHR), adoption of the EHR has been slow. This study attempts to quantify factors associated with adoption of the EHR and Computerized Provider Order Entry (CPOE) by combining multiple organizational theories and empirical studies. The study is conducted in two phases. The primary phase of this study identifies and evaluates the effects of external environmental and internal organizational factors on healthcare organizations to adopt the EHR. From secondary data, twelve IVs (df=19) are chosen based on existing models and literature. Logistic regression is used to determine the association between the environmental factors and EHR adoption. The secondary phase of this study examines the adoption of five variations of CPOE using the same IVs from phase one. This EHR component of CPOE is chosen due to its promotion as a solution to help cross the quality chasm (IOM, 2001). Secondary data are analyzed and logistic regression is used to quantify the association between the factors of EHR adoption and CPOE adoption. Eleven of the twelve IVs are significant between the two phases (p<.1). This study uses data from 2009 because the HITECH Act was passed that year and significant government incentives were offered for those health care organizations (HCOs) that meet the qualifications of meaningful use. This study serves as a baseline for future studies, extends the work of other empirical studies, and fills a gap in the literature concerning factors associated with the adoption of the EHR and specific dimensions of CPOE. The Kruse Theory developed is strongly based in literature and reflects complexity commensurate with the health care industry.

Thesis (M.A. (Business Management)) -- University of Limpopo, 2021Increasing consumer demand, customer expectations, and change in technology compel industrial corporations, governments and small medium enterprises (SMEs) to adopt Enterprise Application Architecture (EAA). EAA is a system where the applications and software are connected to each other in such a way that new components can easily be integrated with existing components. This study focused on how internal and external factors impact the adoption of EAA for Supply Chain Management (SCM) in SMEs, located in the Capricorn District Municipality. Data is analysed through a statistical package for the social sciences (SPSS version 25). A quantitative methodology with self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data from SMEs (SMEs owners and managers). In total, 480 questionnaires were distributed and 310 useable were returned. Cronbach’s Alpha was used to measure reliability. Data validity is obtained through the use of Kolmogorov-Sminorv-Test to ensuring that the questionnaire was based on assumptions from accepted theories as set out in the literature review. From the research findings, it was concluded that the adoption of EAA for SCM in SMEs depends on internal factors, external factors and perceived attitudes towards the adoption of EAA. The managerial implications of the study is based on actual results such as; (a) Internal factors on owners’ characteristics were described as assessment of interior dynamics affecting the enterprise, of which the management have a full control over them, such as employees, business culture, norms and ethics, processes and overall functional activities, (b) The Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) revealed that behavioural measures on Enterprise Resources that depends on speculations about the intensions towards the adoption of EAA for SCM, (c) Compatibility in Diffusion Theory of Innovation ascertains that Technology Acceptance Models need to be linked with relevant Information System Components to have a functional EAA for SCM, (d) The Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) encourages apparent behaviour on control for supplementary forecaster on intentions of employees towards the adoption of EAA for SCM in SMEs, (e) The TPB encourages apparent behaviour on control for supplementary forecaster on intentions of employees towards the adoption of EAA for SCM in SMEs, (f) Consultations with government parastatals or legal representatives of the enterprise would save the SMEs against any unforeseen challenges such as product liabilities, legal costs on lawsuit, tax evasion or avoidance penalties so forth, (g) The Diffusion Theory of Innovation (DTI) proposes that the Perceived Attitudes towards the Adoption of EAA have is affected by behaviour challenges from employees’ personal conduct that affect SCM activities within the SMEs, and (h) The DTI on the intention towards the adoption of EAA for SCM provides the competence in limiting some negative thoughts about the integrative phases or steps limiting the adoption of EAA for SCM.

For a developing country like Vietnam, entrepreneurship plays an important role in economy. It not only contributes to create add-value products and services for country, create thousands of jobs every year but also contribute to state budget. Government is promoting program about start up, new venture fund to encourage entrepreneurship, yet it is still a long way to go. And understanding entrepreneurial intention, especially entrepreneurial intention in college student is the key to promote entrepreneurship. But what factors influence intention? The purpose of this study is to investigate the possible antecedents to entrepreneurial behavior with particular attention to personality factors, family background, culture, economy, government policy, globalization and education. This study conduct data analysis based on surveys of 247 Vietnamese college students from Vietnam universities and foreign universities. The findings indicate that participants hold a positive attitude towards entrepreneurship and they show a relative high level of entrepreneurial intention. Confirming prior researches, the findings also indicate that there is a statistically significant relationship among personality factors, family background, culture, economy, government policy, globalization, education and entrepreneurial intention. Personal trait and education have a stronger effect on entrepreneurial intention compare to other factors. Vietnamese college students more likely to communicate with people to build their relationship, which considering as an advantage in entrepreneurship. Vietnamese college students considered entrepreneurship as a way to get their own financial independence. Vietnamese college students expressed a need for more training and education on entrepreneurship to start a new business. They also evaluated the economic and political conditions of home country quite favorable to start own business.

Dementia is a recently-known disease about Cognitive Impairment, which cannot be effectively prevented or cured. The course of Dementia is long, and that makes it different from other diseases focused on physical care. Dementia patients’ mental literacy changes. In the beginning of the course, the symptoms are not easily perceived, and during the middle and the last stage of the course, the patients will not only become gradually incapable of looking after themselves but also become completely forget who they are. This unusual symptom makes family members and caregivers feel tremendously lost and guilty. Besides, the economic burdens it causes on families, the society and the nation cannot be taken lightly. This research is based on the method of document survey, probing and sorting out the issues about exploring Dementia, prevention and treatment, the mental conditions of patients and caregivers, policies, and care models from the different aspects of physiology, psychology and social support. This research also constructs a full view of the research of Dementia in our country by further investigating the references over the last decades. The physiological results suggest building up a good knowledge of Dementia, receiving medical treatment as early as possible, and keeping away from the risk factors of Dementia. Both pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments can only slow the progression of this illness or improve its condition. They cannot completely cure Dementia. The related data of Dementia research in the psychological aspect are relatively insufficient. The results suggest deeply investigating the Dementia patients and the caregivers in the future in the psychological aspect. As for social support, there is still room for improvement in care policies and care models. According to this overall survey of Dementia, it is a research including medicine, psychology, sociology, etc. This research can only be a cross-field bridge, providing a reference for the future researchers to study Dementia.

The study was designed to investigate the impacts of the characteristics of hospitals on the adapting capital budgeting techniques in Taiwan. All hospitals accredited as district hospitals on 1999 in Taiwan were selected to be research samples. Four hundred and thirty-eight hospitals were qualified as sample size. Market was partitioned according to the sixty-three sub-medical regions from the Department of Health, Executive Yuan. Data were obtained from two sources, including the “Hospital Medical Care Organization Survey in Taiwan Area” which were collected annually by the Department of Health, Executive Yuan, and questionnaire. There were one hundred and twelve hospitals responded the questionnaire. The response rate was twenty-five point fifty seven percent. The major findings of this study were as follow: First, capital budgeting techniques were not widespread used among district hospital in Taiwan. Eighty-eight point eighty-nine percent district hospitals were not used capital budgeting techniques efficiently. Second, in terms of capital budgeting techniques, sixty-seven point thirty-nine percent hospital used feedback method. In terms of risk analysis techniques, fifty-two point seventeen percent hospital used objective evaluation. In terms of risk adjustment techniques, fifty percent hospital used objectively adjusting their cash-flow; fifty-four point twenty-five percent hospital take inflation into account; eighty-nine point thirteen percent hospital emphasized post-hoc auditing. Third, hospital beds, full-time employments, occupation rate, accreditation, service mix, and capital expenditure were identified as statistical significant factors affecting the decision of capital budgeting in hospitals. Based on the results of this study, the management and policy implications were discussed.

E-commerce can be seen as an important source of competitive advantages for most of enterprises in such a progressively competitive environment nowadays, especially for small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs). Most studies in the past focused mainly on the e-commerce adoption in developed countries. However, recently, researchers have increasingly started to explore and predict factors affect e-commerce adoption among SMEs in developing countries (including Vietnam) since these countries have achieved the steady economy development. The purpose of this study is to examine and deeply understand the influence of internal and external factors on e-commerce adoption intention by SMEs in Vietnam as well as compare these factors with other countries in South-east Asia (Thailand and Malaysia). The distinction into internal and external factors is made to distinguish between organization specific factors and factors that are imposed from outside the organization in the adoption decision and deployment process of e-commerce. This study tested ten hypotheses on factors that influence e-commerce adoption intention with empirical data from a sample of 100 SMEs in Vietnam. The results indicated that the resources of enterprise, the perceived relative advantages, the complexity and compatibility of innovation, the intensity of competition, the pressure from suppliers and buyers, the level of government support, and the national infrastructure have significant impact on e-commerce adoption intention by SMEs in Vietnam.

This chapter surveys areal features in the range of modality and mood marking in two contact regions, viz. Europe and MSEA (mainland Southeast Asia), in the context of a discussion of general features and properties—language-internal and -external ones—of linguistic areality. It starts out with a general typology of individual borrowing processes affecting modality and mood markers. It then presents some convergence processes and discusses selected areal features of modals and mood markers in the linguistic area of Europe. And, more succinctly, it deals with MSEA, focusing on the case of “acquire-type” modals. The chapter concludes with some further reflections emerging from the discussion of modality and mood markers in Europe and MSEA on the role of language-external factors in the rise of linguistic areas.

This empirical study investigates the influence of organisational size, internal IT capabilities and external factors, such as competitive and vendor pressure, on ERP adoption within SMEs. Existing research on ERP adoption has indentified some of the potential factors affecting SMEs, such as organisation size as one of the most significant ones. Yet none of this previous research has looked at organisational size, internal IT capabilities and external pressures in a unified framework and in context to SMEs. More specifically, this study focuses on the direct and moderating relationships which may affect an SME’s decision to adopt an ERP system. An analysis of a sample of 229 SMEs shows clear direct and moderating relationships amongst the above factors. Concrete recommendations are provided to accelerate the rate and success level of ERP adoption within SMEs.

The use of information communication technologies (ICT) especially the Internet by small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) is on the increase in many regions of the world, including Africa. Nevertheless, empirical evidence from Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) regarding the factors that affect the adoption of e-business is scarce. In that regard, the main objective of this chapter is to fill the research gap with an exploratory study that is aimed at eliciting views from SMEs in Nigeria. This article made use of a theoretical framework encompassing organizational, external and technological contexts to deliberate the issue. A survey is conducted in three Nigerian cities and the findings of the study are presented. The implication of the study is discussed and future research directions also given.

This study investigates the different factors affecting Customer Relationship Management (CRM) adoption by Egyptian Small Business Enterprises (SBEs). A systematic review of extant literature on CRM adoption by SBEs was conducted both holistically, and specifically in developing countries (e.g. Egypt). The study then progresses to validate a conceptual framework of CRM practices utilising a positivist research philosophy augmented with a quantitative approach, using questionnaire survey data. Findings indicated the response rate of Egyptian SBEs was low and that SBEs' owners, marketing managers and sales managers lack knowledge about CRM practice and the different tools or forms related to it. The findings also illustrated that SBE internal and external factors have a different impact upon CRM adoption. The study provides stakeholders (including entrepreneurs, policy makers, practitioners, researchers and educators) with an invaluable insight and a deeper understanding of issues related to CRM adoption by Egyptian SBEs. This research makes an important contribution to the current dearth of empirical studies in this field. Research outcomes consolidate and clarify several pertinent issues and provide peers with direction for future research.

Prior studies (e.g., Li & Walsh, 2011) found that language teachers did not use technology fully despite its possible facilitating function in language teaching. Through a survey and group discussions, this study explores pre-service Chinese-language teachers' perceptions of the internal and external barriers to their instructional technology use. The respondents (N=47) expressed five main types of external barriers: a) lack of technology, b) difficulty in accessing the available technology, c) lack of technical support, d) lack of proper assessment, and e) negative parental attitude. The two main internal barriers identified in this research were a) negative attitude originating from teachers' pedagogical beliefs, and b) lack of technology-related knowledge. The findings of this study should be of practical use in the future design and implementation of professional development aiming at improving language teachers' use of technology in teaching.

Russian statehood has more than a thousand-year history and traditions. It is obvious that the social, economic, and political development of the country had its direct or indirect influence on the Russian state and statehood itself. Therefore, in this chapter we separately single out the social factors of the development of Russian statehood and the economic factors of the development of Russian statehood, which stand apart from each other. Social factors in the development of Russian statehood are factors in the development of society as a single and complex organism and its social institutions. Social factors are, in essence, domestic political, because they represent the political and spiritual state of the elite and the people, the established system of social relations, internal social contradictions, and social conflicts. The economic factors of the development of Russian statehood are divided into external and internal ones. External economic factors are the proximity or remoteness from the trade routes, and the qualitative and quantitative composition of the country's exports and imports. Internal economic factors are the achieved material state of society, the availability of natural resources and their involvement in the economy, the availability of transport and production infrastructure and its development, and economic crises.

This study examines the factors that influence decision-makers to adopt e-marketing in small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Jordan. There is currently no comprehensive conceptual framework that explains e-marketing adoption in SMEs. Therefore, this study develops a conceptual framework based on the diffusion of innovation (DOI) and technology-organization-environment (TOE) theories. The conceptual framework is composed of four contexts: technological, organizational, managerial, and environmental, and hypothesizes eleven factors significantly influencing e-marketing adoption in SMEs. A self-administrated questionnaire survey was conducted with 362 SMEs in Jordan. Logistic regression was used to test the relevant hypotheses. The obtained results show that relative advantages, complexity, IT expertise, top management support, manager's IT knowledge and external pressure have a significant impact on e-marketing adoption. However, compatibility, cost, firm size, manager innovativeness, and government support do not show any association with e-marketing adoption.

The international literature suggests that the causes of weak financial sustainability of public organizations depend on both external and internal conditions. Whereas the external conditions are related to demographic and socio-economic factors, the internal conditions are associated with the political and managerial settings, and thus, the latter could be addressed by the local government with the aim to maintain financial sustainability over the long term. Based on a literature review, the authors explain the most consolidated trend of such variables with respect to the impact of those variables on financial sustainability, and simultaneously, they reveal a disproportion in what the literature has most recently analyzed. Ultimately, the authors highlight the need for further research regarding the managerial factors and additional cross-country comparisons of the roles of both external and internal conditions.

Due to ongoing structural changes and socio-economic transition from the production economy to the knowledge economy, human capital plays a vital role in developing and creating new ideas and knowledge. Logistics industry is the fastest growing economic activity in Lithuania. The development of human capital becomes important in securing competitive advantage and improving performance for Lithuanian logistics enterprises. Logistics enterprises themselves try to find solutions how to create, develop and share the knowledge amongst its employees and how strategically develop and manage own human capital. The aim of the research is to examine the contemporary academic perspectives on measuring human capital and the factors affecting its value. In order to provide theoretical and practical basis of the factors affecting human capital formation in logistics enterprises, a study of the correlation between internal and external factors was conducted. Based on the investigation of 30 respondents from Lithuanian logistics enterprises, the correlation between 20 factors affecting human capital value was analysed via a path and correlation analysis. The results of correlation analysis showed that there was a significant negative correlation between the factors of the external environment “Demographic” (such as migration, structure of population and others) and the factor from the environment of the individual “Family” content; the correlation coefficient was -0.671. And it was positively correlated with the factor from the environment of the organisation “Culture” and “Value of organisation” (+0,695). Taking these results into consideration, the focus should be drawn on transforming the function of human resources management as well as providing a facilitative environment for developing the necessary skills in the professional and technical field.

Анотація:
High temperature behaviors of expanded PTFE gaskets have been studied using the hot blow-out test (HOBT) method. The results suggest that the operating stress and temperature measurements of a tested gasket form a linear relationship on a logarithmic plot, and that higher assembly stress causes proportionally larger degrees of stress relaxation. In contrast, the cooling curve follows a linear relationship in a semi-logarithmic plot (only stress converted). The new formulation and methodology so derived has permitted a better understanding of external and internal factors on relaxation behaviors of expanded PTFE-based gaskets. For example, for a gasket design incorporating a corrugated metal insert, the relaxation curve stays relatively flat until the temperature reaches about 90–100°F, where the stress reduction starts to follow a linear trend parallel to, but above the relaxation curve of the expanded PTFE gasket without the insert. Essentially, the metal insert “delays” the effect of temperature on relaxation, and produces an “effective assembly stress” that is about 13% higher than the actual assembly stress. The use of Belleville washers has shown a similar phenomenon, but with a longer delay and higher effective assembly stress. Finally, the effect of in-process retightening, or hot retorquing, is quantitatively assessed. The contrasting relaxation behaviors of the material by different retightening methods (hot retorque versus post-process retorque in a cooled state) will be discussed.

This work aims to study the corrosion deterioration of crude oil single hull tankers, considering the corrosion degradation process from both the internal and external sides of plating. The corrosion degradation of the external side of the tanks is modelled as corrosion degradation under atmospheric conditions or under immersion conditions or under repetitive atmospheric and immersion conditions, depending on the location of the plate elements. The corrosion degradation of the internal side of the crude oil tank is estimated as corrosion under tank environment considering the chemical and physical conditions of the crude oil. The different corrosion deterioration mechanisms under the different environments and the corresponding factors affecting it are modelled based on recently proposed models.
