Abstract

Innovation is considered an important factor and key variable to improve both the use and adoption of information and communication technologies as well as to achieve better business performance levels in Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs). At the same time, an appropriate alignment of innovation activities with the use of information technologies helps businesses to improve their levels of performance. The purpose of this paper is to present an empirical research that closely examines the current relationship among innovation, information and communication technologies, and SMEs performance. For this, a sample of 1989 enterprises was obtained from 21 countries in Iberoamerica. The results have revealed that innovation has a positive and significant impact on both information and communication technologies (ICT) and SMEs performance.
