Modern day e-businesses can create significant capital for corporations while enhancing long-term efficiency. As such, they have become a source of economic development for many nations. Lately, the e-commerce industry has been undergoing a polarization of profits due to competition, with SMEs businesses seeing very low performance even though trade volume has increased tremendously every year. The cause for this can be found in the lack of accumulated knowledge available as practical reference along with a shortage of knowledgeable professionals. Therefore, this study intends to suggest a model that presents a direction of consulting for SMEs businesses to increase their competitiveness in e-business. Moreover, the study notes that technology and organization are the two variables that affect e-business value through e-business capability.

Abstract


Modern day e-businesses can create significant capital for corporations while enhancing long-term efficiency. As such, they have become a source of economic development for many nations. Lately, the e-commerce industry has been undergoing a polarization of profits due to competition, with SMEs businesses seeing very low performance even though trade volume has increased tremendously every year. The cause for this can be found in the lack of accumulated knowledge available as practical reference along with a shortage of knowledgeable professionals. Therefore, this study intends to suggest a model that presents a direction of consulting for SMEs businesses to increase their competitiveness in e-business. Moreover, the study notes that technology and organization are the two variables that affect e-business value through e-business capability.
