Abstract

The research reported in this paper investigated the reasons which led Taiwanese agribusiness
firms to adopt specific e-business models. Initially, the study was based on a prior study
conducted in the context of Australian agribusiness firms. Its relevance lies in the importance
of agribusiness to the economies of both nations and because whereas Australia has
developed a reputation as an efficient exporter of agribusiness products, Taiwan needs to
develop export markets for its agribusiness produce as it is facing increasing competitive
pressure in such global markets, particularly with its entry into the WTO. Findings enhanced
the preliminary model as two additional factors, the influence of buyers and suppliers and the
influence of government agencies, were found to also influence the selection of e-business
models.
