DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION IN SMALL AND MEDIUM-SIZED ENTERPRISES (SMES): AN INTEGRATIVE SYSTEMATIC REVIEW

With the adoption of digital transformation in SMEs, it was possible to identify several contributions of digital business strategies, which are proving increasingly necessary in a constantly evolving corporate environment. This research aims to identify, through the studies, the main contributions of digital transformations in small and medium-sized enterprises over the last 10 years. The methodology used was an integrative systematic literature review, conducted through the multidisciplinary Web of Science database. To analyze the 33 articles, the synthesis matrix developed by Botelho, Cunha and Macedo (2011) was used. The results made it possible to identify some points relevant to the topic, such as the term Digitalization, used to refer to Digital Transformation. Regarding the challenges and opportunities faced by SMEs, a common point is the resistance many of them show to adopting new contemporary updates.
