Abstract
ABSTRACT
This study aims to examine the importance of e-commerce adoption and entrepreneurial orientation in Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSME)’s performance. A purposive sampling procedure was employed to recruit 150 MSME’s entrepreneurs from three districts of Jambi province, Indonesia. The findings show that e-commerce adoption significantly affects the sustainability of MSME business performance, while entrepreneurship orientation moderates these two variables. The findings could be used to identify and map customers’ preferences of e-commerce adoption and entrepreneurship orientation in order to improve MSME’s performance. Furthermore, these findings could be a source of information for the government in formulating policy concerning the MSME.
期刊介绍:
Development Studies Research ( DSR) is a Routledge journal dedicated to furthering debates in development studies. The journal provides a valuable platform for academics and practitioners to present their research on development issues to as broad an audience as possible. All DSR papers are published Open Access. This ensures that anyone, anywhere can engage with the valuable work being carried out by the myriad of academics and practitioners engaged in development research. The readership of DSR demonstrates that our goal of reaching as broad an audience as possible is being achieved. Papers are accessed by over 140 countries, some reaching over 9,000 downloads. The importance of the journal to impact is thus critical and the significance of OA to development researchers, exponential. Since its 2014 launch, the journal has examined numerous development issues from across the globe, including indigenous struggles, aid effectiveness, small-scale farming for poverty reduction, sustainable entrepreneurship, agricultural development, climate risk and the ‘resource curse’. Every paper published in DSR is an emblem of scientific rigour, having been reviewed first by members of an esteemed Editorial Board, and then by expert academics in a rigorous review process. Every paper, from the one examining a post-Millennium Development Goals environment by one of its architects (see Vandermortele 2014), to ones using established academic theory to understand development-imposed change (see Heeks and Stanforth 2015), and the more policy-oriented papers that contribute valuable recommendations to policy-makers and practitioners (see DSR Editor’s Choice: Policy), reaches a multidisciplinary audience.
