The use of Electronic Commerce (EC) technologies enables Small-to-Medium sizedEnterprises (SMEs) to improve their efficiency and competitive position. However, thereis a lack of a comprehensive framework that gives a multi-faceted account for thephenomenon of EC technologies adoption by SMEs. This paper therefore develops atheoretical framework of EC technologies adoption which is composed of fourdimensions: perceived organisational readiness (micro level), perceived industryreadiness (meso level), perceived national readiness (macro level) and the perceivedenvironmental pressure. The proposed framework is then used to develop a morespecific research model to guide future study in exploring EC technologies adoption bySMEs. The proposed framework and research model will be empirically validated byadministering a survey questionnaire among SMEs in a number of developing countries.
