ABSTRACT This article is a part of the first-author PhD-dissertation entitled ‘Factors Influencing ICT Adoption in East Java Agribusiness: Individual and Organisational Approaches’. The main objective of presenting this article is sharing information related to investigation of ICT adoption done by samples who are asked to respond to a multiple response questions. ICT adoption ladder model is used for the analysis. The samples are grouped into four level of adoption --- lowest to highest level), namely (i) ICT-Conventional, consists of fixed line phone, facsimile, and mobile phone, (ii) ICT-Computer, consists of stand alone computer with access to the internet via internet cafes, (iii) ICT-Internet, consists of use of the internet for advertising, online business and virtual organisation activities. About 178 sampled firms (farmers) in four regencies (Jember, Banyuwangi, Malang, Sidoarjo) were interviewed in 2006. The respondest were given their opportunity to respond to multiple options on the purpose for adopting ICT. Five options of ICT use were proposed: (i) ICT for communications among employees, (ii) ICT for communication between companies and distributors, (iii) ICT for marketing and sales, (iv) ICT for searching company’s resources, and (v) ICT for other purposes. Result of the analysis show that all samples in group 1 (100%) adopted the lowest level of ICT. Group 2, 3, and 4, respectively, adopted 75.3%; 44.9%; and 10.7% . This indicates the default automatic adoption level of which all businesses operate at the minimum. The ledder shows that the higher the level, the smaller the percentages of sampled firms. This means that as ICT tecnology becomes more sophisticated, fewer sampled from the lower levels. Some businesses maintain their existing ICT adoption levels and are not interested in improvement by moving to the more sophisticated levels of ICT, due to considerations which will be investigated in this research. The result also show that general purposes of using ICT at the basic level of the ladder needs to be investigated in order to draw a picture of the benefit of adopting ICT.
