Abstract
Digital transformation strategies (DTS) in the micro and small enterprise (MSE) sector remain underexplored in the existing literature. Moreover, the level of digitalization within this sector is largely unknown, as European Commission reports provide data only for the broader small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) category. This paper presents the results of a literature review conducted using the Scopus database, focusing on DTS in the MSE sector. The findings of this review informed the design of a primary empirical study that the author intends to conduct among MSEs in Poland. The goal of the planned research is to assess the level of digital intensity across different MSE industries and to identify best practices in the implementation of DTS. The study will encompass key dimensions such as digital strategies, success factors, applied technologies, implementation barriers, and the impact of digital transformation on the functioning and performance of MSEs.

Digital Transformation Strategies of Micro and Small Enterprises. Findings from Literature Review and Research Concept
Digital transformation strategies (DTS) in the micro and small enterprise (MSE) sector remain underexplored in the existing literature.

This paper presents the results of a literature review conducted using the Scopus database, focusing on DTS in the MSE sector. The findings of this review informed the design of a primary empirical study that the author intends to conduct among MSEs in Poland. The goal of the planned research is to assess the level of digital intensity across different MSE industries and to identify best practices in the implementation of DTS. The study will encompass key dimensions such as digital strategies, success factors, applied technologies, implementation barriers, and the impact of digital transformation on the functioning and performance of MSEs.
