Abstract

ABSTRACT Understanding how small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) adopt information technology (IT) in a rapidly changing business environment is important to promote their development. Utilizing longitudinal data of SMEs and the local business environments in a transition economy over a period of 2005–2015 and applying the dynamic random effect probit model as was done in the study “Business environment and innovation persistence: The case of small- and- medium sized enterprises in Vietnam” published in Economics of Innovation and New Technology, this study finds that the persistence of SMEs’ IT adoption is reduced in an improved local business environment. This finding indicates that an improved local business environment is an enabling factor for SMEs without prior experience to begin IT adoption. As a result, policymakers in transition economies are recommended to enhance SMEs’ IT adoption for development by synchronizing IT policies and policies to improve the quality of the local business environment.

越南通过采用信息技术发展中小企业的持久性

摘要了解中小企业如何在快速变化的商业环境中采用信息技术对促进其发展至关重要。利用2005-2015年转型经济中中小企业和当地商业环境的纵向数据，并应用《创新与新技术经济学》上发表的研究“商业环境与创新持续性：越南中小企业的案例”中所做的动态随机效应probit模型，本研究发现，随着当地商业环境的改善，中小企业IT采用的持续性降低。这一发现表明，当地商业环境的改善是没有经验的中小企业开始采用IT的一个有利因素。因此，建议转型经济体的政策制定者通过同步信息技术政策和政策来提高当地商业环境的质量，从而提高中小企业对信息技术的发展采用率。

期刊介绍： Information Technology for Development , with an established record for publishing quality research and influencing practice, is the first journal to have explicitly addressed global information technology issues and opportunities. It publishes social and technical research on the effects of Information Technology (IT) on economic, social and human development. The objective of the Journal is to provide a forum for policy-makers, practitioners, and academics to discuss strategies and best practices, tools and techniques for ascertaining the effects of IT infrastructures in government, civil societies and the private sector, and theories and frameworks that explain the effects of IT on development. The concept of development relates to social, economic and human outcomes from the implementation of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) tools, technologies, and infrastructures. In addition to being a valuable publication in the field of information systems, Information Technology for Development is also cited in fields such as public administration, economics, and international development and business, and has a particularly large readership in international agencies connected to the Commonwealth Secretariat, United Nations, and World Bank.
