Abstract

The emergence of internet-based electronic commerce offers considerable opportunities for companies to expand their customer base, enter new product markets, and rationalize their business. The Indonesian government has initiated and implemented a series of plans and activities to promote technology use to increase SMEs’ performance. Despite such efforts, technology adoption rate are still low. Therefore, it is important to understand the factors affecting an entrepreneurs’ decision on internet adoption, by measuring technology readiness (TR). The purpose of this study is to investigate TR and the extent to which E-commerce is adopted amongst entrepreneurs. This study is replication of Parasuraman’s study on the Technology Readiness Index (TRI). Questionnaires were distributed using a convenience sampling method to 190 entrepreneurs of SME in Bandung city. The findings indicate that entrepreneurs are moderate in terms of their TR. There are significant differences in terms of TR across entrepreneurs’ backgrounds (gender, age, education, and income). In relation to internet adoption by those surveyed, as their use of media promotion is still low, there were only 36.3 percent who adopted it. The results clearly indicate the need to provide support to SMEs to adopt and use e-commerce. These results have implications not only for managers of SMEs but also for government agencies in developing countries such as Indonesia. The findings have implications for researchers and practitioners by identifying TR drivers (optimism and innovativeness), and barriers (discomfort and insecurity), that contribute to effectively leveraging the Internet in an important area for SMEs.

Abstract

Private label penetration is increasing from time to time. Past research have highlighted individual customer demographic characteristics that relate to private label purchase. Those research, however, have neglected the role of personal values in driving consumer behavior. This research is aimed to fill this gap by studying private label purchase behavior in a university in Bandung, Indonesia and its relation to the personal values of the respondents. Schwartz Value System is applied after comparing this with other value systems. Two dimensions in the system, which are opennes to change and conservation are analyzed in relation with private label purchase behavior of students in the university. The dimensions are selected because of their direct intuitive link with private label purchase. Using correlation analysis, the research provides an important finding about the role of personal values (in terms of opennes to change vs conservation) in private label purchase.Keywords: private label, personal value, Schwartz Value Systems, Bandung, Indonesia, openness to change, conservation, purchase behavior, consumer behavio
