A STRATEGIC ANALYSIS OF E-BUSINESS ADOPTION AND ENERGY COMPANIES' PERFORMANCE

摘要

This article presents a new conceptualization of e-business adoption intensity, demonstrates how e-business adoption across processes can be empirically distinguished, and provides the corresponding scales for measurement and to develop energy companies' performance. E-business applications may be particularly useful in collecting and transmitting marketplace information when market uncertainty is high. The authors' findings provide the foundation for a more rigorous study of e-business and energy companies' performance. E-procurement can call for compatible electronic data generation and exchange interfaces across businesses.
