Abstract

This chapter calls for further e-commerce (EC) research in small- to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and to address this phenomenon at a more global level. The chapter endorses this notion using recent EC research in SMEs. Earlier research pointed to the laggardness of the SMEs in adopting and using EC strategically. Accordingly, suggestions were made to call for further cooperation and collaboration amongst the different researchers, professionals, and policymakers across different countries in the world to bridge the EC gap in SMEs.
