Abstract
The aim of the study was to investigate the impact of Information Communication Technology Operational Risk Management (ICT ORM) on the performance of a Medium Small Enterprise (MSE). The study was based upon a survey design to collect the primary data from 107 respondents using simple random sampling. The research instrument was administered online. A one stage normative model, associative in nature, was developed based upon reviewing previous research and in line with the research findings. The model elicited five factors based upon the multiple regression analysis of the data: principal causes of ORM failure related to ICT; change management requirements and ICT risk; characteristic(s) of information; challenges posed by ORM solutions and evaluation models affecting ICT adoption within MSEs. Based on the methodologies used in this study including factor analysis and multivariate regression analysis, it is recommended that this model be applied to monitor these changes more closely and to measure the changing strategies and the associated factors such as insufficient or improper user participation in systems development process, identified as potential barriers to the effective adoption and implementation of ICT within an MSE.
