Description
Information technology (IT) and digitization have profoundly transformed the economy. However, research on the IT implementation of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), a key component of the economy, is limited or treats all SMEs as homogeneous. This paper studies how SMEs are differentially digitizing by analyzing their digitization architecture. We apply clustering to find interesting observations on the digitization architecture of over 60,000 micro, small, and medium-sized businesses in the United States. The preliminary results shed light on the digital architecture of SMEs, the differences in digitization among SMEs, and inform the digital technology suppliers that cater to SMEs.
