Determinants of information technology adoption in Indian companies

Information systems in a global environment are influenced by different cultures, laws, information technology infrastructure, and the availability and role of skilled personnel. Information systems research has traditionally focused on US and UK organizations without considering how these frameworks and models can be applied to developing countries. In our study of 46 Indian manufacturing firms, we found that the firm's organizational culture, competition faced by firms, government policies, market forces like exchange rates and computer prices, and organizational size have a significant impact on information technology adoption decisions made by firms.
