Includes bibliographical references. The purpose of the study was to investigate the E-Commerce phenomena in Tanzania with the goal of understanding how E-Commerce is typically made sense of by Tanzanian SMEs and how the sense making is produced, sustained and affected by environmental and organisational conditions. Structuration theory was used as a theoretical lens from which the social construction of the E-Commerce phenomena could be understood. The study primarily adopted a subjective interpretive stance. A preliminary quantitative study using questionnaires and interviews was done to gain an initial understanding of the E-Commerce status quo in Tanzania. The main study was qualitative in nature and used interviews with 33 Tanzanian SMEs as the data collection method. 2014-07-31T12:17:04Z 2014-07-31T12:17:04Z 2013 Doctoral Thesis Doctoral PhD http://hdl.handle.net/11427/5646 eng application/pdf Department of Information Systems Faculty of Commerce University of Cape Town |
