Parameters guiding e-transformation in developed and developing countries

Business life today is very dynamic. To excel and meet changing environmental needs, businesses are required to implement new technologies. Research indicates that both developing and developed countries need to adapt to changing environments. Indepth investigations were conducted with Small to Medium Businesses (SMEs) in Australia and Sri Lanka to address this research gap, identify the parameters essential for the technology implementation. Findings show that E-T (E-Transformation) Guide parameters can identify company's current technology implementation state and also help guide future implementations, based on the already defined E-Transformation Dimension in both Developed and Developing countries. Furthermore, the study also identifies the progression from Strategy dimension to Structure for smooth increment, and then to Tasks and Processes for successful transformation. Companies would need to review the E-T Dimensions' Categories, as well as the newly proposed additional parameters. This paper concludes by providing a detailed insight into the additional parameters, namely: Knowledge, Marketing, Certification and Regulatory Agency Policies, and the available Funds and Support, which influence successful technology implementation.
