Abstract

This paper reports on an ongoing project that aims to assist SMEs in the strategic use of e-business technology. We present the first stage of this project, where the goal is to identify critical types of competence that can enable or inhibit the successful use of e-business technologies. We start by describing the conceptual model of competencies and their relations to e-business success. Secondly, we describe the operationalization of this model into measures that are the basis for the subsequent survey used to identify critical types of competence related to e-business success for SMEs.
