Digital Transformation and SME Competitiveness: A Quantitative Study in Emerging Economies
Abstract
The digital transformation of business processes has become a key driver for enhancing the competitiveness of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in emerging economies. This study explores the relationship between digital adoption, operational efficiency, and market expansion among SMEs in Latin America. Using a survey-based quantitative approach with 372 respondents across three countries, the results reveal a significant positive correlation between the level of digital integration and competitive performance indicators. The findings suggest that strategic investment in digital infrastructure, supported by public policy, can bridge technological gaps and stimulate economic resilience among SMEs.
