Abstract

Understanding the major roles and functions of Information Technology (IT) in an organisation is an important factor in shaping an organisation’s characteristics and determining the usage of IT as an enabler in a business.A survey on small and medium sized industries in Malaysia has been carried out in order to identify and recognise the usage of IT in businesses.The parameters such as organisational details (i.e. the numbers of employees, sales or profitability and the type of business) and managers details (in terms of educational level, computer literacy and computer experiences) were studied in order to see whether these parameters do contribute towards the usage of IT in businesses. Based on the results of the survey, an IT adoption model is proposed.This IT adoption model can be used as a framework for users who wishes to set-up a business.Due to the diverse cultural composition, the model can also be used as guidelines to émigré entrepreneurs of the important areas in setting-up new SMIs in Malaysia.
