本文是一个简约的模型，假定三个因素的决定因素，采用电子数据交换（EDI）：准备，感知的好处，和外部压力的第一次测试。为了构建模型，我们确定并组织了在以前的EDI研究中发现有影响力的因素。通过在一个模型中测试所有这些因素，我们能够调查它们对EDI采用决策的相对贡献。高级采购经理，选择他们的经验与EDI和接近的EDI采用决策，进行了调查，并使用结构方程模型分析他们的反应。所有这三个决定因素都被认为是采用电子数据交换的意图的重要预测因素，外部压力和准备程度比预期的好处重要得多。我们发现，在这个模型中的结构可以分为三个层次：技术，组织和组织间。我们假设，这些类别的影响力也将是采用其他新兴形式的组织间系统（IOS）的决定因素。
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 investigate their relative contributions to EDI adoption decisions. Senior purchasing managers, chosen for their experience with EDI and proximity to the EDI adoption decision, were surveyed and their responses analyzed using structural equation modeling. All three determinants were found to be significant predictors of intent to adopt EDI, with external pressure and readiness being considerably more important than perceived benefits. We show that the constructs in this model can be categorized into three levels: technological, organizational, and interorganizational. We hypothesize that these categories of influence will also be determinants of the adoption of other emerging forms of interorganizational systems (IOS).
