Rethinking technology in the SME context: Affordances, practices and ICTs
提出一种新的概念化方式，重新审视数字技术与中小企业商业实践的关系，强调技术使用的嵌入性和情境性，为信息通信技术研究、政策及商业实践提供新方向。
This article advances a novel conceptualization of digital technology and its relationship with small and medium enterprise (SME) business practice. Focusing on Information and Communication Technology (ICT), I expose salient ontological assumptions that guide the dominant models of technology in SME research and calls for their reassessment. Building on the emergent scholarship on technology-in-practice and emphasizing the entanglement and situatedness of technology use, I advance a fresh approach to theorizing and researching the ICT-SME practice nexus. Extending the technology-in-practice perspective into the SME domain, new directions are suggested for ICT scholarship and implications outlined for research, policy, and business practice.
