Abstract

Big data analytics (BDA) has increasingly become popular both in theory and practice in recent years. Globally, larger businesses have used BDA to collect, study, and evaluate vast volumes of data to identify market trends and insights that lead to sound and intelligent business decisions. However, its adoption in small and medium enterprises (SMEs) is not fully maximized because of a variety of factors, including a lack of expertise and financial repercussions. As such, this paper seeks to delve into the predictors of BDA adoption intention among SMEs in a developing nation by extending the technology acceptance model (TAM). The quantitative surveys obtained from 438 SMEs were analyzed using partial least squares and structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The results revealed that perceived benefits, namely system quality, information quality, and predictive analytics accuracy, had positive relationships with perceived ease of use and usefulness, subsequently leading to attitude towards using BDA. Likewise, perceived security significantly influences perceived benefits, perceived ease of use, and attitude towards use of BDA. Further, attitude towards use was the most significant predictor of intention to adopt BDA among SMEs. Generally, the study indicates a positive interest in adopting BDA among Philippine SMEs.

Abstract

As an emerging technology, blockchain has huge potential for transforming various industries, such as small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Despite its promising impact, its application in the supply chains of SMEs in developing countries is still in its infancy. This study analyzes the key factors of blockchain adoption intention in Philippine SMEs through an integrated technology-organization-environment (TOE) and technology acceptance model (TAM) with external variables. The data were obtained through a survey of 465 SME practitioners in the national capital region (NCR), Philippines, and analyzed using partial least squares and structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). In terms of technology dimensions, relative advantage (RLA) had a positive influence on perceived usefulness (PUS) while compatibility (COM) had a positive influence on perceived ease of use (PEU), which both subsequently led to blockchain adoption intention. As regards organization, top management support (TMS) had a significant influence on the adoption intention of blockchain among SMEs. In terms of environment, only competitive pressure (CMP) had significant influence on blockchain adoption intention. In general, most of the hypothesized relationships are significant; thus, SMEs have a positive interest in adopting blockchain technology. Finally, the study serves as baseline evidence of blockchain adoption intention among SMEs in the Philippines.
