ABSTRACT This research examines the relationships between technological, organizational, and environmental (TOE) factors on different levels of B2B e-commerce adoption. A survey of 315 Ghanaian manufacturing SMEs was validated and tested using partial least squares structural equation modeling. The research findings indicate that perceived desirability, organization’s readiness, and competitive pressure positively and significantly influence the different B2B e-commerce adoption levels. Likewise, top management support and government support partially had a significant impact on the various levels of B2B e-commerce adoption, whereas the business partner’s pressure has no significant influence on B2B e-commerce adoption levels. This research’s results confirm that the TOE factors influence B2B e-commerce adoption levels in the Ghanaian manufacturing SMEs. The results reveal that the various contextual factors have a different effect on the different levels of B2B e-commerce adoption. Also, the implications of this study are subsequently discussed.

中小型制造企业企业对企业（B2B）电子商务采用的决定因素

摘要这项研究研究了B2B电子商务采用水平不同的技术，组织和环境（TOE）因素之间的关系。使用偏最小二乘结构方程模型对315个加纳制造业中小企业进行了调查和验证。研究结果表明，感知的可取性，组织的准备状态和竞争压力对不同的B2B电子商务采用水平产生积极且显着的影响。同样，高层管理人员的支持和政府的支持在一定程度上对B2B电子商务采用的各个级别产生了重大影响，而业务合作伙伴的压力对B2B电子商务采用的级别没有显着影响。这项研究的结果证实，TOE因素会影响加纳制造业SME中B2B电子商务的采用水平。结果表明，各种上下文因素对B2B电子商务采用的不同水平具有不同的影响。此外，随后将讨论这项研究的意义。
