Abstract

The Internet Cultural Era (ICE) has driven many Small and Medium sized Enterprises (SMEs) in the UK and Ghana to adopt ICT technology. This competition is particularly fierce in the logistic providers and tourism service industry. (Azumah et al, 2005) The drivers for ICT development in Gripple (Sheffield) Ltd UK are to be able to improve the operating efficiency in administration, stock keeping and order received. They have a kind of ERP system to deal with production planning. They plan to be able to integrate their system with their suppliers. However, the barriers are that their suppliers are not ready and do not have the technology for integration. (Pavic et al, 2006).
