Abstract: E-commerce has emerged as a whole business strategy, offering a range of services and opportunities that seem to change traditional business models. A number of studies have applied the technology innovation models to the adoption of e-commerce. This study adopts the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) to investigate organisational influences on the adoption of e-commerce in a developing country with xenophobic tendencies. The results indicate that gender impacts negatively on the adoption of e-commerce, while organisation size, management support, communications and information availability contribute positively to the adoption of e-commerce. This study is a furtherance of a previous one that identified organisational factor as playing a key role in e-commerce adoption. It provides more insights into the adoption of foreign technology in a xenophobic developing country.
