Evaluating the Benefits of Regional Electronic Marketplaces: Assessing the Quality of the REM Success Model
نویسنده
چکیده
A number of regional Internet electronic marketplaces (REMs) have failed or are floundering, partly due to the lack of proper evaluation of their costs and benefits. This paper uses a conceptual REM Success Model to examine the costs and benefits of a REM in Western Australia. The model has been derived from an extension to the Updated DeLone & McClean IS Success Model. The findings from the case study indicate that the REM Success Model, which includes cognisance of SME-profile and motivation of the market maker, allows up-front identification of the costs and benefits to all stakeholders.
