Abstract

Cloud computing (CC) plays a key role in the digital transformation of SMEs by providing flexible IT resources that support management and innovation. This study aimed to assess the impact of CC on innovation and management in over 400 Polish SMEs. The results show that CC particularly supports resource management in medium-sized and commercial enterprises and facilitates innovation in companies with higher profits, greater investments, and larger customer bases. Research limitations, such as the overrepresentation of certain industries, suggest caution in generalizing the findings. Nevertheless, CC emerges as a crucial factor for SME growth and competitiveness, indicating the need for further in-depth research.
