“…Embracing and utilising ICT in small businesses improves their efficiency, effectiveness and competitiveness (Hamilton and Asundi, 2008;Johnston et al, 2007;Southwood, 2004;Mahmood and Mann, 2000), boosts innovation (Zhu and Kraemer, 2003) and produces many intangible benefits (Mueller-Falcke, 2002). ICT also impacts positively on small business growth, through an increase in productivity (Bassanini and Scarpetta, 2002;Matteucci et al, 2005;Timmer and van Ark, 2005) and sales (Maguire et al, 2007;Ordanini, 2006;Raymond, 2005;Qiang et al, 2006). New technologies also facilitate organisational expansion (Bernadas and Verville, 2005;Matthews, 2007), improve international communications (Raymond et al, 2005) and lead to supply chain improvements (Bayo-Moriones and Lera; Macpherson et al, 2002;Wen et al, 2009).…”
