Tiny Impact of ICTs and Paucity of Rigorous Causal Studies:A Systematic Review of Urban MSMEs in Developing World(26 April 2019)By P. VigneswaraIlavarasan (Ph.D. - IIT Kanpur), Associate Professor, Dept. of Management Stud-ies, Indian Institute of Technology Delhi.

SEMINAR SERIES

The talk is based on a systematic review that examines whether access to business-relevant information through networked devices enhances internal efficiency andbusiness growth of urban micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in low-and middle-income countries. Starting from 24,000-plus records, rigorous screeningyielded a set of 10 research articles from which data were extracted and a meta-analysis conducted. All were observational studies; none used an experimental orquasi-experimental design. Only five reported a probability sampling method, andthe sample size ranged from 100–3,691. Except one, all had used self-reported dataabout ICT use. The review found: The numbers of business calls increase with thelonger use of the mobile phones; ICT use and possession predict labor productivity;network devices improve operational support, strategic development, processimprovement, and operational performance. Also, after the purchase of mobilephones, the number of customers increases. Higher ICT expenditure results inincreased turnover. Profits increase with the use of mobile money. The quantitativemeta-analysis shows that the impact on business growth and internal efficiency isstatistically small. The research field lacks rigorous causal studies that link ICTs andMSME growth.
