are globalization and the widespread adoption of information and communication

challenges and opportunities for firms Many argue that these two trends are closely
associated, each driving the other forward, and both being driven by other common
forces, such as trade liberalization, deregulation, competitive factors, and so
on... .Competitive factors can affect the process of EC adoption and globalization.
This paper develops and tests a model for examining the relationship between firm
globalization, e-Commerce adoption and competitive factors
