© 2017, Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg. We design and evaluate an IT strategy development framework for small and medium enterprises (SMEs). The framework’s objective is to provide a theoretically grounded, empirically validated, uncomplicated, and accessible framework to develop an IT strategy for an SME. The framework is a social artifact whose purpose is to guide the design of two other artifacts: an IT strategy process and an IT strategy plan. We rely on design science research, combined with action research, to design, apply, evaluate, and refine the framework in a specific SME in the sales industry. People responsible for managing the IT in an SME can use the framework to design or refine their IT strategy, in order to make better-informed IT strategy decisions, to improve the utilization of their SME’s usually scarce IT resources, and ultimately increase their IT’s business value contribution. We also gain an enhanced understanding of IT strategies’ role in SMEs and provide methodological implications for social artifact design.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to study the strategy development by small and medium enterprises (SMEs) for improving coordination in supply chain in Indian perspective. Globalization and liberalization of the world economy has leveled the field for all competitors around the globe. To face global competition successfully, SMEs have to break isolation of their suppliers and other entities in the supply chain. Design/methodology/approach – For collecting data, a question-based survey was conducted. In total, 251 valid responses were received. Statistical analysis of data acquired from survey is done by one sample t-test, correlation and regression analysis. Findings – Uncertainty of customer order/demand, insufficient knowledge of supply chain management (SCM) and involvement of middlemen in supply chain are the main problems faced by Indian SMEs during implementation of SCM. Quality improvements, delivery on time and cost reduction are the major priorities while forming supply chain strategies. Coordination strategies are positively correlated with business performances. Research limitations/implications – Major implication is that SMEs should develop their strategies effectively after analyzing business environment and future plans. While developing strategies for improving coordination in supply chain of SMEs, they should give due importance to problems and risks they face. However, it is felt that this study can be further explored by considering other aspects of strategy development such as human resource, organization culture, etc. Originality/value – Finding and issues of the paper will be highly useful for SMEs in framing their strategies for improving coordination in supply chain, and academia for further research in the context of changing market scenario.
