Digital transformation in SMEs: an overview
The spread of new technologies and digital platforms is reshaping the classic model of entrepreneurship by placing – especially – small businesses in front of new challenges that cannot be met using models and strategies of the past.
So, there is a need to understand the implications of these changes by developing new business models, creating new skills, and integrating activities in an ecosystem context.
This volume collects stories of small and medium-sized enterprises engaged in digital transformation processes being not only a collection of case studies, but also a stimulating read for entrepreneurs interested in untangling an increasingly complex landscape to remain competitive.

The voice of the authors
Veronica Marozzo is a researcher in the Department of Economics at the University of Messina. She received his PhD in Economic and Business Sciences from the University of Calabria. Marozzo’s main research interests focus on consumer behaviour with a particular attention to the concepts of product authenticity and sustainability, au-naturel colour and packaging, front-of-package label (FoPL) and product customization, as well as topics related to digital marketing, digital transformation, open innovation and co-creation, innovation in SMEs and entrepreneurship in innovative start-ups. Veronica’s studies take the form of articles in scientific journals, book chapters and presentations at national and international conferences.
Therefore, we believe that fostering an appropriate culture toward those approaches that enable SMEs to make the best use of the potential and solutions offered by new digital technologies can be an important support in addressing change. In this regard, we thought that the best way to promote this culture was to have SMB entrepreneurs tell us about ‘their’ digital transformation to understand what challenges they encountered and, more importantly, how they were addressed and overcome.

Giving a voice to entrepreneurs who actively confront these issues every day, making their strategies known, we hope will help spread greater awareness of the opportunities offered by new digital technologies and, above all, foster the growth of ecosystems based on a type of innovation that looks to a dynamic future for our SMEs and workers.Antonio Crupi
