Abstract
The ultimate goal of this article is to delve into and identify the key elements that influence e-business implementation in both "ERP-enabled and non-ERP-enabled" businesses. To comprehensively examine the factors that drive e-business acceptance and to fully articulate the significant intrinsic abilities and traits required to effortlessly convert the organization from brick-and-mortar to click-and-mortar through e-commerce. As the world moves toward technology 5.0, SMEs are unable to thrive in "I-4.0." The COVID-19 epidemic has undoubtedly proven to the world the value of sustainable technology in empowering distant employees.And a very few relative handfuls of literature review-based research have tested the ideas of the "Technology-Organisation-Environment (TOE) framework, Diffusion of Innovation (DOI) theory, and Resource-Based View (RBV) theory", in combination. Furthermore, the comparative study contributes by proposing the profound significance of E-commerce as a mediator variable amongst essential TOE, DOI, and RBV characteristics and company success. The successful adoption and effective use of e-commerce are critical to progressively increasing potential productivity in the digital age. This exploratory research has successful applicability since it employs the "TOE, DOI, and RBV theories" that are appropriate for the implementation of E-commerce and, as a result, contribute to enhancing the efficiency of Indian small and medium companies.

Summary
In the present era of digitization, the evolving phenomena of E-commerce are rapidly developing, predominantly in developing economies, and firms are beginning to willingly choose to purchase and trade online. The emerging world's two most important economies, India and China, are diversifying their activities from traditional enterprises to click-and-mortar daily. The economic development of the Indian E-commerce market is undoubtedly expected to achieve 64 billion US dollars by the end of this decade (Dutta, Mishra, Khandelwal, & and Katthawala, 2020). China's internet commerce market figures show that the developed country has obtained a 574 billion US $ market in 2018 (Lu, Yang, Liu, & and Jia, 2020). The rapid growth of the e-commerce market is revolutionizing the way companies function in both major and small enterprises (Ozturk, 2016). (Zafar & and Mustafa, 2017) stated that, on aggregate, in underdeveloped nations, SMEs provide around 70% of employment and 60% of GDP. In developing nations, SMEs are liable for 95% of employment and 70% of GDP. It is demonstrated that SMEs are correspondingly significant for every economy around the globe
