Handbook of Management Scales/Information and communication technologies implementation
Information and communication technologies implementation (composite reliability = 0.86)
[edit | edit source]Description
[edit | edit source]The authors follow a two-phased approach to develop multi-item scales that measure dimensions of service orientation in the context of business-to-business e-commerce. Service orientation was conceptualized as a third-order construct comprised of five combinative service competency bundles: service climate; market focus; process management; human resource policy; and metrics and standards.
One of these five second-order dimensions, process management, consists of two first-order dimensions: information and communication technologies implementation and service processes.
