However, contrary to literature, surprisingly perceived ease of use and perceived risk, security and privacy concerns were not found to be significantly impacting the adoption.

The study was also significant since computer and internet literacy has not been tested in the Sri Lankan context in near past and leads for recommendations which would enhance banking operations on online/digital banking products.Publication Embargo Adoption of e-business for the success of the fashion industry in Sri Lanka(2020) Vijayanthi, H.G.S.The purpose of this study is to investigate the adoption of e-business for the success of the fashion industry in Sri Lanka.
