The research model features knowledge management (KM) capabilities (knowledge acquisition, knowledge storage, knowledge dissemination, and knowledge protection), and partnership attributes (partner interdependence, partner trust, and partner commitment) as prominent antecedents of stage\u2010based e\u2010business diffusion.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Design\/methodology\/approach<\/jats:title><jats:p>Data gathered from 398 firms were employed to test the relationships between the research model constructs using a structural equation modeling (SEM) approach.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Findings<\/jats:title><jats:p>The results reveal that the factors for KM capabilities and partnership attributes have different impacts on three stages of e\u2010business diffusion. In particular, knowledge dissemination has a positive effect on all three e\u2010business diffusion stages, demonstrating its importance in the decision to shape e\u2010business diffusion. Moreover, the findings show that three partnership attributes are important enablers during the whole e\u2010business diffusion process.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Practical implications<\/jats:title><jats:p>In the context of e\u2010business, knowledge dissemination activities occur not only within firms, but also between firms and their business partners. Knowledge dissemination enables employees to develop novel solutions to problems that significantly improve on current practices. Hence, the increasing importance of the field of knowledge dissemination is primarily attributed to promotion of successful e\u2010business activities and increased level of e\u2010business implementation.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title><jats:p>Theoretically, this study aims to provide a research model that is capable of understanding the determinants of the stage\u2010based e\u2010business diffusion.
