Business organizations around the world engage in e-commerce (EC) and e-business to support business operations and enhance revenue generation from non-traditional sources. Studies focusing on EC adoption in Sub Saharan Africa (SSA) are just beginning to emerge in the extant information systems (IS) literature. The objective of this current study is to investigate factors impacting the acceptance of EC in small businesses in SSA with Nigeria as an example. A research model based on the Diffusion of Innovation (DIT) and the Technology–Organization–Environment (TOE) frameworks were used to guide this discourse. Such factors as relative advantage, compatibility, complexity, management support, organizational readiness, external pressure, and IS vendor support were used to develop relevant hypotheses. Questionnaires were administered to respondents in Nigeria and data analysis was performed using the Partial Least Squares (PLS) technique. Predictions related to relative advantage, management support, and IS vendor support were confirmed; the other hypotheses were unsupported by the data. The study’s implications for research and practice are discussed in the chapter.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present a conceptual model of business development that provides operational ways to increase the competitive presence of more micro and small ventures (both actual and new) in enlarged markets, including international ones. Design/methodology/approach The paper develops a conceptual model starting from the identification of the most usual constraints limiting the SMEs and entrepreneurship development and success. After this stage, the model was built with the help of selected concepts, which represent a theoretical framework of support. Findings Regarding the universe of SME and entrepreneurship, the authors usually find some weaknesses: markets mainly local/regional, absence of growth, cooperative networks and/or international operations, because of several usual constraints: limited competences and resources, absence of critical mass on buying/selling and difficulty to cooperate. These shortcomings represent an economic waste when there are competitive offers and/or endogenous resources. Research limitations/implications The model will be applied in a Portuguese county, in this way the authors expect to make an empirical research in the near future. Practical implications The model surpasses the, usual, limited skills of people and organisations betting in their competitive specialisation, with the assumptions that few people can be successful entrepreneurs/managers, but quite everyone can perform something competitively. The organisation/structure – Local Development Platform (LDP) – has the responsibility to assure the competitiveness of value chains built over networks of these agents. Additionally, the LDP should provide collective resources to lower the investments and operational needs of the agents involved, provide the added value services necessary for offers and agents’ competitiveness, achieve critical mass on buying and selling and enlarge/open new markets. These resources are organised in up to five specialised platforms, to service a strategy structured along five axes of development. Social implications With this model, it is possible to increase the levels of employment and welfare. Originality/value A practical/operational integrated model able to be applied in different contexts will help private and public agents to define and implement strategies of development to enable the growth and success of SMEs and entrepreneurial initiatives in the international markets context.

The wood-processing industry currently does not sufficiently use modern technologies, unlike the automotive sector. The primary motive for writing this article was in cooperation with a Slovak wood processing company, which wanted to improve its logistics processes and increase competitiveness in the wood processing sector through the implementation of new technologies. The aim of this article was to identify the positives and limitations of the implementation of Internet of Things (IoT) technology into the wood processing industry, based on a secondary analysis of case studies and the best practice of American wood processing companies such as West Fraser Timber in Canada, and Weyerhaeuser in the USA. The selection of case studies was conditional on criteria of time relevance, size of the sawmills, and production volume in m3. These conditional criteria reflected the conditions for the introduction of similar concepts for wood-processing enterprises in Slovakia. The implementation of the IoT can reduce operating costs by up to 20%, increase added value for customers, and collect real-time data that can serve as the basis for support of management and decision-making at the operational, tactical, and strategic levels. In addition to the secondary analysis, methods of comparison of global wood processing companies, synthesis of knowledge, and summarization of positives and limitations of IoT implementation or deduction were used to reach our conclusions. The results were used as the basis for the design of a general model for the implementation of IoT technology for Slovak wood processing enterprises. This model may represent best practice for the selected locality and industry. The implications and verification of the designed model in practice will form part of other research activities, already underway in the form of a primary survey.

Abstract Background Volume rendering methods have been improved to further enhance the quality of imaging and make the communication between echocardiographers and interventionists more fast, reliable and simple. The last innovation in this field is the "3D Real Time True Vue-Transillumination (TI)" rendering method. This allows to freely move virtual light inside a sample volume to enhance image details and depth. No studies have addressed the advantage of this method in the context of procedural guidance for structural interventions. Purpose The aim of the present paper is to test the advantages of this method when applied to interventional TOE during cardiac structural interventions. Methods During different procedures we prospectively collected the apparent added value of TI compared to conventional rendering scored independently by two cardiologists in charge of procedural guidance, one being in training (observer 1) and one trained (observer 2). The score was performed in a Likert scale from 1 to 5 with refer to advantage of TI for different procedural concerns (from 1 that meant "strongly disagree" to 5 "strongly agree"). We tested the inter-rater reliability with the K coefficient of agreement between the two observers. In this analysis we included multiple procedural targets to be imaged during different procedures. Results We included 8 complex procedures performed in our institutions between November 2018 and March 2019 and collected the agreement of the two observers about the following procedural concerns: evaluation of MV area for MV repair procedures; evaluation of MV main target lesion at the beginning of repairing procedure for procedural planning; evaluation of calcifications of MV leaflet and annulus and cleft for patients selection; evaluation of device trajectory with 3D real time imaging before crossing the valve plane during orienting manoeuvre; assessment of residual lesion after first clip for procedural decision making; evaluation of para-valvular leak: site and amount;evaluation of inch point of leaflets for direct annuloplasty in mitral valve and tricuspid valve regurgitation; visualization of coronary sinus during the implant of anchors of Cardioband in posterior part of tricuspid annulus. We collected the scores for a total of 13 records. The 2 observers perceived an added value for TI for all the procedural concerns analysed (mean score of 4.0 ± 0,75); a good agreement was obtained about the superiority of TI rendering in these 13 concerns with a Kappa coefficient of inter-agreement of 0.71, p < 0.0001. Conclusions this is the first experience comparing the new 3D TI rendering with 3D conventional rendering in the context of intra-procedural guidance for structural valve interventions. We obtained good inter-agreement between two echocardiographist with different levels of experience suggesting that TI may have advantages even for education.
