Fostering Digital Growth in SMEs: Organizational Competence for Digital Transformation

  • 1175 Accesses

Part of the IFIP Advances in Information and Communication Technology book series (IFIPAICT,volume 598)

Abstract

Digital transformation has become a necessity for SMEs if they want to compete in an increasingly globalized market. The proposed maturity models are not really useful for moving forward, as they have been developed for large companies and are not adapted to the particularities of SMEs. We propose an alternative approach based on individual and organizational skills and capabilities. SMEs have digital transformation capabilities that could become a digital transformation competence. The paper aims to discuss these issues.
