Abstract

The implementation of Internet based on EDI has become a major issue because of the huge development of the internet. Internet EDI is a technology which combines the strength of EDI and Internet technologies and it can be classified in FTP-EDI, SMTP/MINE EDI, and Web EDI. Recently, the number of companies which are adopted Web EDI increase to overcome shortcomings of high communication costs and high foundation and maintenance expenses of VAN EDI. This research is intended to examine the effect that characteristics of innovation and partnership as relationship with trading partner will affect the Web-EDI implementation. To achieve these purposes, we surveyed people who are in charge of Web EDI in their companies. A survey questionnaire was sent 376 people in charge of Web EDI in their companies, and 66 usable responses were obtained. The results of this research can be summarized as follows. First, it's affirmed, among partnership factors, that participation and interdependence significantly affect Web EDI implementation. It's also suggested, among innovation factors, compatibility, relative advantage, and cost reduction significantly affect Web EDI implementation.

인터넷의 폭발적인 발전으로 인터넷 기반 EDI의 구현이 활발해지고 있다. 인터넷 EDI는 EDI와 인터넷 기술의 장점을 결합한 기술로써 그 종류로는 FTP 기반의 EDI, SMTP/MINE 기반의 EDI, Web 기반의 EDI 등이 있다. 최근, 기존 VAN EDI의 높은 통신비용과 설치 및 유지보수비용 등의 한계를 극복하기 위해 Web EDI의 도입을 하고 있는 기업들이 증가하고 있다. 본 연구는 혁신특성과 거래 기업들 간의 관계를 나타내는 파트너쉽 특성 등이 Web EDI의 구현에 미치는 영향을 확인하기 위하여 국내 Web EDI를 사용하고 있는 기업들을 대상으로 실증연구를 하였다. 376명의 Web EDI 사용자에게 설문지를 발송했으나 실증분석에 사용된 유효한 설문지는 66부였다. 연구결과, 파트너쉽 요인 중 거래업체의 참여도와 상호의존도가 Web EDI 구현에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 혁신 요인 중 호환성, 상대적 이익, 비용절감이 Web EDI 구현에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.
