چکیده
National innovation systems are influencing the path of innovation diffusion like e-business. Important enablers of e-business diffusion are IT mature and innovation friendly enterprises. An indicator of IT maturity is the diffusion of former innovations like electronic data interchange (EDI). The innovation adoption behavior can be described as the adopting date after occurrence of an innovation. The conducted empirical survey analyzed the adoption of EDI as an indicator for innovation friendliness for a better understanding of the diffusion of e-business standards like XML/EDI or m-commerce. The survey detected a time-lag of EDI diffusion which is similar observable with XML/EDI or m-commerce. This research is part of the research project “globalization of e-commerce”. The project analyses the impacts of e-business upon the national increase of factor productivity.
