| Abstract: | Decisions on electronic commerce (EC) participation are of importance not only to the firms involved but also increasingly for national economic progress. This research into EC inhibitor appraisal is conducted in Singapore, an appropriate environment for this purpose being both an island state and an active IT participant on the international stage. An integrated suite of research techniques is presented, combining a survey, focus group discussions with group decision support systems, and computer-assisted qualitative analysis of the Group Decision Support Systems (GDSS)-facilitated focus groups. The paper evaluates the results and methodology within a framework of grounded theory, presents a rich set of conjectures about the EC inhibitor process. |
