Abstract
The use of e-commerce is more and more becoming a strategic necessity.Unfortunately, small and medium-sized firms (SMEs) seem to fall behind their larger counterparts in the adoption of e-commerce. For this reason a number of projects, both national and the international ,aiming at supporting e-commerce activities in SMEs are planned and initiated. It is fundamental that these projects are successful as a poor effort can complicate future initiatives. This requires thorough planning and knowledge about different aspects of the problem area. Unfortunately, research on e-commerce is often limited to drivers and barriers for adoption. This paper argues for a broader perspective and a conceptual framework is presented that integrates the context, content and process of e-commerce adoption. order prescription
