| Abstract: | This paper presents a review of the literature and the formulation of a conceptual framework of e-business development based on existing research on e-business and the small company. Macro-level, industry sector, company and managerial factors are examined, together with attitudes towards e-business and the benefits of and the barriers to its development. The research is positioned within a framework that adopts the marketing/entrepreneurship interface paradigm as an aid to understanding how combinations of formal and informal competencies contribute to competitive advantage. |
