Abstract

This paper forms the basis of a crafting eBusiness strategy. The aim of this strategy is to encourage and assist organizations in general and SMEs in particular, in the non-ICT producing sectors of the economy, to use Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in a way that will maximize their competitive advantage. Effective use of ICTs across all sectors of the economy can act as a driver to increase competitiveness. Relatively low levels of ICT usage by companies, outside of the ICT sector, is the contributing factor to the failure of organizations to catch up with productivity growth rates required to succeed. While most of the countries have now a strong ICT sector and the potential to do well in newly emerging ICT related industries, performance is far less impressive when it comes to the use of ICTs by SMEs in the non-ICT sectors of the economy.
