Research On Effciency Of Public Sector Information Adoption By Enterprises

Public sector information (PSI) is becoming a kind of vital resources in promoting the development of society and economy, adding value in the production, operation,sales,investment,decision making and technological progress of enterprises. In the "New Normal" phase of China's economic development, in the background of accelerating integration of information and industrialization, and in the process of government information disclosure, enterprises have urgent needs to improve the efficiency of PSI adoption. However, PSI is still during the initial utilization phase in China, and the phenomenon of "Information Obstacle", "Information Island" and "Information Sleeping" can be found everywhere, and the level of enterprise informatization and efficiency of PSI adoption is still low. For the sake of improving efficiency of PSI adoption, the author analyzes the influencial factors of PSI adoption efficiency by enterprises, establishes a PSI adoption model based on theoretical and empirical research, and puts forward some model-applying strategies to solve the problems.Chapter 1 clarifies the basic concepts as well as PSI, PSI adoption, efficiency, efficiency of PSI adoption by enterprises, and puts forwards the way to measure PSI adoption efficiency by enterprises. The PSI adoption efficiency is the course of PSI adoption behavior affecting series of enterprise activities, such as production, sales, management, innovation, etc, and ultimately bringing certain performances for enterprises. It is the result of interaction by internal and external influencial factors including information characteristics, environmental characteristics, and enterprise characteristics. We can observe the PSI adoption efficiency in the aspects of decision-making efficiency, cost saving, technological innovation, and competitive advantage. Analysis of the connotation lays a logical basis for the thesis.Chapter 2 finds the theoretical basis for the study of PSI adoption efficiency based on Information Asymmetry Theory, Transaction Cost Theory, System Efficiency Theory, Enterprise Capability Theory and Information Technology Adoption Theory. Information Asymmetry Theory is the logical starting point of the full text of the study; Transaction Cost Theory and System Efficiency Theory provide solutions to improve the efficiency of PSI adoption; Enterprise Capability Theory reflects the intrinsic power requirement of adopting PSI by enterprises; Information Technology Adoption Theory supplies the research path for the study.Chapter 3 analyzes the influencial factors of PSI adoption efficiency from three dimensions, information characteristics, environmental characteristics, and enterprise characteristics. Information characteristics reflect the depth of information resources organization and processing, including the authenticity of information, accuracy, depth, compatibility, security and timeliness. Environmental characteristics are concerned with problems of information cost, time, place, procedure, path and policy, reflecting the governance capability and service level of public sectors. Enterprise characteristics are concerned with whether the information infrastructure and information literacy of enterprises is competent to the adoption of PSI, including the enterprise attention, trust, and recognition, the adoption of willingness, enterprise information infrastructure, and enterprise information literacy.Chapter 4 analyzes feasibility of Technology, Organization and Environment Theory Model (TOE), and establishes a theoretical model of PSI adoption efficiency by enterprises based on TOE model. Then the author puts forward 15 hypotheses on the relationship between the enterprise characteristics, environmental characteristics, information characteristics and PSI adoption efficiency by enterprises.Chapter 5 conducts a questionnaire survey on 254 enterprises in 23 provinces of China, carries out the reliability and validity analysis, exploratory factor analysis, single factor analysis of variance, correlation analysis and regression analysis by SPSS software. Based on empirical analysis and enterprise interviews, the author verifies and modifies the model of PSI adoption efficiency by enterprises and responses to 15 hypotheses one by one. This author finds that:(1) Three public factors of enterprises characteristics, environmental characteristics and information characteristics can explain 41.2% of variation of PSI adoption efficiency by enterprises. Enterprise characteristics, environmental characteristics, and information characteristics can explain 51%of variation in enterprise decision-making efficiency, 41.1% of variation in enterprise cost savings,46.8% of variation in technological innovation of enterprises and 44.1% of variation in competitive advantage of enterprises. (2) Enterprise characteristic is the most significant factor affecting the adoption of PSI efficiency, and affects the adoption of PSI efficiency significantly. (3) Enterprise characteristics, environmental characteristics and information characteristics have significant positive correlations with enterprise decision-making efficiency, cost saving, technological innovation, and competitive advantage. Enterprise characteristics and information characteristics can strongly expain and predict the enterprise decision-making efficiency, cost saving, technological innovation and competitive advantage, but environmental characteristics do not have consequence relationships with them. (4) Enterprise scale, industry, information department staff, and information infrastructure investment significantly affect the PSI adoption efficiency by enterprises.Chapter 6 puts forward model-applying strategies based on the Model of PSI adoption efficiency by enterprises. (1) We should improve the PSI quality aiming the goal of enterprise decision-making efficiency, enhance the accuracy, speed and depth of PSI serving for enterprise decision making. (2) We should optimize the PSI adoption environment to reduce transaction costs as a principle, improve PSI adoption policies, optimize PSI adoption system design, and create a good social atmosphere to encourage the adoption of PSI. (3) We should strengthen the construction of enterprises' information adoption ability in order to improve the independent innovation ability, and enhance useful cognition that PSI can benefit technological innovation. (4) We should build the core differentiation competitiveness of enterprises by improving the efficiency of PSI adoption. The small and medium enterprises should enhance the efficiency of PSI adoption to build competitive advantage, and the traditional industry enterprises should accelerate the transformation and upgrading by improving the efficiency of PSI adoption.Chapter 7 is a summrization, finds deficiencies and puts forward some research prospects in the future.
