Summary

This chapter attempted to highlight the main issues that would accelerate or hinder the wide adoption and diffusion of EC in SMEs. These factors would prove useful to SMEs in their potential uptake and use of EC. Specifically, these points are addressed to the manager-owner of the SMEs in identifying the different perspectives surrounding the new innovation. Therefore, it is left to the managers of the SMEs to consider the importance of the above factors on their current and future plans in adopting and/or using EC.

The issues raised by this chapter are of importance to researchers working in the same field, policymakers interested in devising means and measures to encourage the small sector in embracing EC, and to professionals including vendors, consultants and education institutions in targeting the small sector.
