Includes bibliographical references. Most researchers indicate that electronic-commerce (e-commerce) offers viable solutions for businesses trying to meet the challenges of a changing environment. However, the few available studies concerned with Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in developing countries show evidence of delays, and failure to adopt e-commerce solutions in those countries. In the past, little research has been done to identify the reasons for this. This study seeks to explore the factors that influence a decision to adopt Business-to-Consumer (B2C) e-commerce by SMEs in developing countries, using Zimbabwe as a case study. 2015-01-15T08:57:46Z 2015-01-15T08:57:46Z 2012 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/12185 eng application/pdf Department of Information Systems Faculty of Commerce University of Cape Town
