Trends in and Opportunities for SME and E-Business Research

摘要

I carried out an analysis of 100 journal articles which had been published during 2003 (33 articles), 2004 (35 articles), 2005 (28 articles) and early 2006 (4 articles) and which studied small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the context of e-business. The articles identified primarily came from journals accessible in full-text using such online research databases as Emerald, Science Direct and EBSCOHost via Deakin University's library. In addition to JECO, journals publishing SME and e-business research included Journal of Small Business Enterprise Development, Electronic Markets, European Journal of Information Systems, Information Management just to name a few of the 41 journals identified.
