These differences create information systemenvironments, implementation processes and usage profiles which arc unique to small businesses. There now exists asubstantial stream of research on the adoption and impact of information technology in small firms. Given the businessrelationships between small and large enterprises, the implications of this research are also of interest to largeorganizations.The panelists will present empirical results from small business information systems research conducted in NorthAmerica, Europe and Asia with an emphasis on the specific problems and opportunities which these organizations facein assessing adopting and using information technology. The ability of small firms to respond quickly to market changesand their flexibility to acquire and assimilate new information technologies for future entrepreneurial performance andorganizational forms will also be addressed.307
