Abstract
This paper explores how organizational and technological factors explain the adoption of e-business functions in 4570 European companies and the migration from EDI-based to XML-based e-business frameworks in 329 European companies. According to a linear regression model, a company with a wider scope, having more enterprise information systems or exchanging standardized data has more e-business functions in supply chain integration. A logistic regression model implies that a larger company or a company with higher skills or having more e-business functions is more likely to replace EDI-based with XML-based e-business frameworks in supply chain integration.
