A brief account of work done in Ph.D.: | Ph.D. Study of Extent of ICT Adoption and its Impact Assessment in Small & Medium Enterprises: Gujarat Experience. Small and medium enterprises though are using information and communication technologies in their businesses processes but, are yet to ascertain its contribution to business growth. Information and Communication Technology (ICT) investments are considered to be expenditure with ‘no financial advantage ‘and therefore are not favoured by resource constrained SMEs. For any entrepreneur to adopt ICT in business, its impact should be known to them in terms of benefits and value addition provided to the business so that the investment decision becomes easy. This research explored the extent of ICT adopted by the small and medium enterprises of Gujarat and also assessed the benefits achieved and value addition brought about in business processes after their implementation. To achieve these objectives, a firm level study of SMEs was carried out in the districts of Ahmedabad, Rajkot and Surat. The results of the study confirmed that there is a considerable difference observed in the categories of ICT adopted by the small and medium enterprises of Gujarat. ICT Adoption has several positive impacts on the businesses of SMEs. These benefits may not necessarily be quantified in financial terms but do get reflected in the form of functional benefits or value additions perceived and observed in firms. Impact of ICT adoption depends on the extent to which it is deployed in any organization. | |
