Abstract

Living, not to say surviving, the digital revolution and being exposed to the winds of globalisation make the study of New Information and Communication Technology (NICT) affecting Small- and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) a rewarding job. Can it be otherwise? Knowing that SMEs account for 95% as far as value-added and Gross National Product (GNP) generation are concerned. Likewise, the same SMEs provide provide most of the local labour force. On another scale, large corporations and multinationals adopted the NICT earlier to consolidate their competitive positions and enhance their performance at large. Meanwhile, developments in the internet and Electronic Commerce (EC) have given SMEs a golden opportunity should they want to benefit positively from globalisation, especially with regard to international market niches. Algeria is emerging as one of the fastest-growing countries in Africa and the Arab world. The government appears to be very serious about reforming the economy and opening up its markets. The windfall brought about by the high price of oil is currently helping the government move faster towards accomplishing its long-term plans.
