This paper is the first test of a parsimonious model that posits three factors as determinants of the adoption of electronic data interchange (EDI): readiness, perceived benefits, and external pressure. To construct the model, we identified and organized the factors that were found to be influential in prior EDI research. By testing all these factors together in one model, we are able to invest...

Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) provides a method for organisations to send and receive standardised business communications quickly, flexibly, cheaply and in a secure manner. It is EDI's document translation standards which distinguish it from other, similar technologies such as e-mail or tape-based file transfer and which enable EDI to offer a standardised internal integration option for ut...

BACKGROUND We report changes of choroidal structure determined by binarization of enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomographic (EDI-OCT) images after treatment for primary intraocular lymphoma (PIOL). METHODS Five eyes of four patients with PIOL were examined by EDI-OCT before and 6 months after intravitreal methotrexate injections. In addition, 15 eyes of 15 normal individuals contro...

We report a case of Guillain-Barré syndrome complicated by respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilation. Neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA) allowed proper patient-ventilator synchronization by pressure support proportional to the electrical activity of the diaphragm (Edi). Prolonged ventilation with NAVA seems feasible in patients with neuromuscular impairment, but the weaning ...

Accordingly, the standards are not tied back to the The application-to-application exchange of business data, known as electronic data interchange (EDI), has not fulfilled the expected potential. The focus for the development of EDI standards should be shifted from the interchange file to the information contained within the business process. The use of object oriented techniques to model the s...

derschlagen wird, sieht es auf kurze Sicht für den Wettbewerb so aus, dass EDI nur zusätzliche Kosten ohne erhebliche Nut-zeneffekte erzeugt. Der Nutzen stellt sich erst in der fernen Zukunft ein (vgl. Abb. 1).

Electronic commerce presents many opportunities for public and private sectors to capitalise on technologies such as Electronic Data Interchange. EDI allows improvements in business performance and efficiency, in building of new markets and expanding of old ones. However, a significant barrier to the organisational adoption and diffusion of EDI, is the lack of knowledge in the need for adequate...
