The economic development of any country is closely linked with the development of small business. Entrepreneurship is especially important for countries whose economies are in the process of structural change. The essence of small business development reflects the constant search for new opportunities, independence in making innovative decisions, perseverance and determination in their promotion in foreign and domestic markets. Given the scale of activities and narrow specialization, technology transfer is the basis of innovative activities of small businesses and a means of their sustainable development, a guarantee of profit and social impact. The purpose of the article is to identify information and communication tools for technology transfer for the development of innovative activities of small businesses. Accelerating the development of information and communication technologies, their penetration into all spheres of society, has made significant changes in the conditions of origin and implementation of entrepreneurial activity. There are new forms of relations between producers and consumers, managers and staff, between business partners. Information and communication technologies means a systemically connected set of methods and means of intellectual work associated with the search, accumulation, processing and protection of information, as well as its exchange between participants in joint activities. Practice shows that small enterprises carry out ICT transfer and use them in their activities (commercialize), receive additional opportunities. To achieve optimal results, technology transfer, like any other business activity, requires attention, flexible approaches and integration into the overall strategy of innovative development. The direction of further research is an empirical study of the results of technology transfer by local enterprises.

Use Of Internet

Over the last decade there has been a great deal of research into the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in small businesses. More recently, this research has centred on the use of Internet technologies in small businesses, particularly their use of Websites for the purposes of ‘e-business’ or ‘e-commerce’. Much of this research has examined the adoption of these technologies, including the drivers and barriers that small businesses face. Other studies have investigated models or frameworks that might help to guide small businesses to take full advantage of these technologies, particularly Websites for the purpose of conducting e-business. A great deal of this research has been admirable in that it has contributed to the body of work available in the area. Simultaneously, there has been a body of research that has focused on specific aspects of establishing a Website. These aspects can be technical in nature, addressing issues such as how to design a Website or how to identify hosting options, or business orientated, involving the identification of aspects of Website promotion and publishing. However, given the diversity of research being reported, we feel that there is a major gap in that small businesses are left without guidance in relation to how to approach all aspects of setting up and maintaining their Websites. The components are out there, but there is little available in relation to how a small business might access these, or even piece them all together. In fact, a little further on in this book we will suggest that these days, with the presence of many of Web services such as portals available, a small business Web presence may be even more than just a Website.

The Relationship

Although motivating electronic business (e-business) adoption and implemention by small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) is endorsed by policies and initiatives introduced by the European Union (EU), a number of challenges arise as the result of a limited conceptual understanding of the relationship between SMEs and information and communication technologies (ICTs). Relatively little is known about how SMEs respond to the opportunities provided by ICTs, and even less is known about why and how small businesses use ICTs (Dixon, Thompson, & McAllister, 2002). In the first section of this critical review of the academic and government bodies of literature related to EU SMEs, e-business and policy initiatives and definitions of SMEs are explained, the unique characteristics of SMEs and entrepreneurial characteristics are outlined, and the case is made that there is a clear need for more comprehensive research on SMEs in the European Union. The second section concentrates on e-business. Many of the factors that compel organisations to adopt and implement innovation are pertinent to the adoption and implementation of e-business. These have hitherto largely been treated as separate bodies of literature, however. In this section, the benefits of e-business are explored, the factors that motivate or act as barriers to e-business adoption and implemention are outlined, and the organisational and management attributes that would seem to ensure the success of the innovation of adopting and implementing e-business are discussed. The third and penultimate section explores EU policy initiatives relevant to SMEs and to the promotion of e-business. The most wide-ranging and prominent initiatives directed at SMEs are examined here. The final section of the paper concludes with suggestions for further research.

Information And Communication

Internet use has grown and spread rapidly around the world during the last decade. Today, computers and the Internet have become an integral part of modern societies. The Internet has created a new medium for communication and commerce for businesses. It is hard to imagine a business working without using a computer. These technological advances have also largely affected small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). While large companies have been quick to adopt the information and communication technologies (ICTs), SMEs have been slow to adopt these technologies in general for various reasons, especially in developing countries. This study explores the factors affecting the adoption of e-commerce by small businesses in a developing country. To attain this purpose a case study was conducted in a small hotel, which is using its website to keep up with customer expectations and competition in a small Turkish city. Conclusions and suggestions derived from this study provide a meaningful contribution to the understanding of e-commerce adoption among small businesses in developing countries.

However, the health crisis that plagued the world in early 2020 raised several concerns about the entrepreneurial activity of this municipality. Thus, this study has as main objective to broadcast the entrepreneurial activity that enhances tourism in Montijo municipality, before the health crisis and to present a reflection on the future of this activity in the post-COVID-19 era. It was possible to verify that the county has a set of positive indicators with regard to tourism activity and is one of the most dynamic at national level in terms of entrepreneurship. Besides that, the implementation of new business models, new products and services, new distribution and marketing forms, based on information and communication technologies can be very important to disseminate the region and to add value to the tourist experience and business, contributing to making the region a national reference of economic and social progress.
