Background: The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI)
into E-Business supply chains is revolutionizing operations management by
enabling predictive analytics, autonomous decision-making, and robotic process
automation. Despite its potential, adoption rates remain fragmented.
Objective: This study investigates the determinants
influencing AI adoption in e-business supply chains by integrating the
Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) framework with the Technology
Acceptance Model (TAM).
Method: This study uses a simulated dataset created for
academic training purposes. A quantitative approach was employed using
simulated responses from 420 e-business operations and IT managers.
Covariance-Based Structural Equation Modeling (CB-SEM) was conducted using
AMOS.
Key Results: Perceived usefulness (β = 0.41, p < 0.001) and
organizational readiness (β = 0.35, p < 0.001) emerged as the strongest
predictors of AI adoption. Competitive pressure (environmental context) had a
surprisingly weak direct effect.
