Much of this research relates to developed countries ready to spring on new approaches. However, developing countries seem to fall far behind. The few available studies related to SMEs in developing countries reveal a delay or failure on the part of SMEs to adopt ICT and e-commerce technologies. Various factors identified as causes for this limitation can be broadly classified as Internal Barriers and External Barriers. An exploratory pilot study and interviews were conducted and results analyzed using frequency distribution tools, with a view to developing a framework that will eTransform SMEs in developing countries The study presents an eSME roadmap to determine the current stage of ICT sophistication and e-commerce adoption level for SMEs in developing countries. The road map also provides a ...

Therefore, extant conventional e-commerce quality metrics from the literature are critically reviewed. Furthermore, an exploratory study involving Sharia compliance experts was conducted, revealing adherence to the maqasid Sharia and the principles of Islamic law of contract as the fundamental Sharia compliance requirements for e-commerce systems. Hence, we integrated the relevant conventional e-commerce quality metrics and the Sharia compliance requirements deduced to propose a set of Sharia compliance e-commerce quality metrics based Information, systems and service quality dimensions. The Sharia compliance e-commerce information quality metrics proffered are accuracy, relevance, timeliness, understandability, completeness, and currency. System quality metrics in...

Because non-conformity to Sharia principles can result in a lack of trust and a barrier for many Muslims to partake in e-commerce transactions. However, there is currently no comprehensive and clearly specified Sharia compliance requirements guideline for e-commerce systems. Therefore, a need to explore and develop a comprehensive guideline for Sharia compliance requirements in e-commerce systems. In this study, an exploratory qualitative study involving eight semi-structured interviews with Sharia compliance scholars/experts was conducted. Consequently, a conventional content analysis of data was carried out with the aid of QSR-NVivo 11. Findings from the study revealed that e-commerce is acceptable and indeed encouraged in Islam so long as it enhances the welfare of society. The fundamental Sharia compliance requirements for e-commerce are adherence to the Maqasid Sharia ...

Although ecommerce trust building mechanisms have been highlighted in the extant literature, there has not been any integrative or exhaustive solution to the Sharia compliance trust concerns of Muslims. Therefore, it became necessary to develop a framework that will provide a guide towards achieving Sharia compliance e-commerce trust (SCE-C). Consequently, relevant literature on e-commerce trust from a conventional perspective and the Sharia perspective were reviewed to gain a background. It provided the basis for proffering a framework for SCE-C trust with a view to enhancing e-commerce adoption and use by Muslims around the world. The framework for SCE-C Trust highlights that e-commerce vendor trustworthiness factors comprising of Sharia compliance, integrity, benevolence, competence, website quality, and third-party assurance if positively moderated by consumer trust propensity and religious commitment will ensure SCE-C trust.

The autoregressive distributed lags (ARDL) approach is applied within the analysis. The main finding reveals a negative and significant impact of urbanization on carbon emissions in Singapore, which means that urban development in Singapore is not a barrier to the improvement of environmental quality. Thus, urbanization enhances environmental quality by reducing carbon emissions in the sample country. The result also highlighted that economic growth has a positive and significant impact on carbon emissions, which suggests that economic growth reduces environmental quality through its direct effect of increasing carbon emissions in the country. Despite the high level of urbanization in Singapore, which shows that 100 % of the populace is living in the urban center, it does not lead to more environmental degradation. Hence, urbanization will not...

The findings show that information and communication technologies alone cannot produce sustainable advantages, but that firms must organize and manage information and communication technologies in such a way as to leverage the complementary human and business resources. The results also suggest that adopting information technology has positive effects on innovative practices, which increases the competitive advantage of firms. INTRODUCTION Due to the emergence and widespread use of information and communication technologies (ICTs), organizations have faced many challenges that have led to several changes in their business practices in recent times, particularly in the last two decades. In this time period, organizations have invested large amount of time and money to the adoption of ICTs. This study therefore seeks to discuss how such investments in information technology can help an organization achieve a competitive advantage. The resource based view (RBV) is an appropriate framework to guide this research due to its focus on resources and capabilities and also because of its emphasis on sustainability of competitive advantage. The RBV argues that a firm's source of competitive advantage lies with the resources and capabilities it owns and controls and the unique way in which a firm bundles them together (Barney, 1991). The notion of differential benefits accruing from ICT investments has generated lots of controversy. Recently, even more controversy, has been created by the assertions of Carr (2003). He argues that ICT is pervasive, increasingly inexpensive, and accessible to all firms. As such, it

Therefore, we prudently proffered Sharia compliance service quality metrics for e-commerce that would foster e-commerce use, user satisfaction and net benefits for the over 1.8 billion Muslims globally. By deducing extant e-commerce service quality metrics from literature and harnessing the opinion of Sharia compliance scholars/experts, an integrative Sharia compliance service quality metrics for e-commerce are proffered. Fundamentally, Sharia compliance assurance of e-commerce systems is found to be an essential service quality metric that will ensure Muslim consumer trust, use, user satisfaction and net benefits from e-commerce.Whereas, conventional e-commerce service quality best practices that are aimed at enhancing the welfare and devoid of Sharia violations are also deemed important servic...

Therefore, it is important to explore and understand the essential requirements for Sharia compliant e-commerce specifically in Business to Consumer (B2C) setting. Our research has identified the necessary requirements for e-commerce Sharia compliant. The requirements are categorised into two; Islamic law of contract, and Sharia prohibition in e-commerce. The requirements for Islamic law of contract those include compliant with form (offer and acceptance), contracting parties (buyer and seller), and subject matter (object and price). In addition, the requirements for prohibition in e-commerce are referred to the avoidance of fundamentally prohibited elements of riba, gharar, haram and maysir. Furthermore, we have developed a generic framework of requirements for B2C Sharia compliant e-commerce. This framework will serve as a guide to consumers in determining the legitimacy of an e-commerce transaction in the light of Sharia. Besides, ecommerce merchants, web application developers and other stakeholders will gain clear understanding of these requirements to improve the development and diffusion of Sharia compliant e-commerce application. Conclusively, this research postulates that, any ecommerce transaction or platform that complies with the Islamic law of contract and is devoid of any fundamentally prohibited element (riba, gharar, haram and maysir) is deemed Sharia compliant.
