Abstract. This study aims to identify the influential factors of OI adoption by SMEs in Vietnam, in order to provide useful theoretical and practical recommendations for SMEs to adopt OI effectively. Based on a survey of 56 Vietnamese SMEs, this study identified two drivers including improving capability and expanding network orientation, and four main barriers, including knowledge, collaboration, organisation, and financial strategy. Notably, the study found that collaboration barriers and network expansion orientation are factors that vastly impact the adoption of OI.
