Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study is to clarify the following five issues: (1) a critical competitive factor and an area for ICT (Information and Communication Technology) utilization, (2) current status of strategic use of ICT, (3) a causal structure of factors encouraging ICT utilization, (4) enablers and inhibitors for strategic use of ICT, and (5) a difference among companies of strategic use of ICT and ICT business effects. A mail questionnaire survey is used to gather data. Results show that enhancing alliance with suppliers or customers, enhancing alliance among local SMEs to overcome resource constraints, and sophisticating ICT strategy for competitive advantage are critical issues to encourage strategic use of ICT for SMEs.
