碩士 / 國立臺灣海洋大學 / 航運管理學系 / 97 / Due to the development of containerization, the transit time has been substantially shortened. Cargo often arrive in the destination port before the bill of lading does. To improve this problem, shipping companies develop Documentation EDI, which is able to increase the efficiency of document handling process with freight forwarders. This research
uses the extended Technology-Organization-Environment framework to identify the critical factors influencing the adoption of Documentation EDI for freight forwarders from technology characteristic, organization characteristic, environment characteristic and innovation characteristic and propose thirteen hypotheses. The empirical study was conducted on freight forwarders in Taiwan. Totally 150 questionnaires were delivered, and validly replied by 78, the return rate was 52%. The hypothesis were tested by discriminant analysis, the results show that firm size, top manager support, trading partner influence, compatibility and complexity are significant in distinguishing enterprises as adopters and non-adopters of Documentation EDI. Conclusions and suggestions are discussed based on these results.
