Assessment of Micro-Enterprise Development through IT Adoption

While prior work has focused on the process through which IT may be adopted by micro-enterprises, this research takes it one step further by assessing the outcomes from IT adoption in micro-enterprises that have undergone technology, training and trust building interventions. It analyzes these using a systematic evaluation model that ties in the key components of development. The contribution of this paper is in providing insights into how researchers and practitioners can better stimulate micro-enterprise growth and economic development through IT adoption.
