Özet:

 

The importance of e-business technologies cannot be over emphasised as it is  regarded as an essential tool in enhancing the performance as well as the levels of  competitiveness of businesses. This study seeks to investigate the relationship  between selected employee demographic variables and the perceived factors that  influence the adoption and use of e-business technologies, among the small and  medium-sized retail enterprises. A survey was conducted among employees  working in the small and medium-sized retail enterprises operating in the Eastern  Cape Province of South Africa. This study utilised analysis of variance (ANOVA)  to determine the influence of several demographic variables on the e-business  technology adoption and use in the context of retailers. This study provides some  insights into the perceptions of employees working in the small and medium-sized  retail enterprises about the factors that influence e-business technology adoption  and use, as well as the cultures of the businesses in which they are employed. In  addition, this study adds to the body of knowledge by indicating the extent to  which they perceive the ease of use and relative advantage of e-business  technologies.
