“…Therefore, maturity and readiness models need to consider the progression between various types of big data analytics and artificial intelligence (Comuzzi & Patel, 2016). Existing literature reviews studies on SMEs' maturity and readiness present an overview of existing business maturity models (Virkkala et al, 2020) and an evaluation of SMEs' digital readiness dimensions and indicators (Susanty & Anindyanari, 2022) not necessarily focusing on big data analytics and artificial intelligence readiness. Similarly, Saleh and Ijab (2023) examined Fourth Industrial Revolution maturity and identified readiness factors: infrastructure, regulatory, skills and competency, technology and commitment.…”

Assessing the readiness and maturity of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) is a foundation for implementing emerging technologies like big data analytics and artificial intelligence to drive their digital transformation endeavours. This study emphasises that readiness and maturity dimensions offer descriptive and prescriptive guidelines for gauging the current and desired levels of preparedness and maturity required to achieve desired digital transformation outcomes. However, prevailing readiness and maturity models overlook the diverse stages of advancement in big data analytics and artificial intelligence. This research explores the dimensions essential for assessing SMEs' readiness to adopt big data analytics and artificial intelligence. This paper identifies the key dimensions for evaluating SMEs' readiness and maturity across different categories of big data analytics and artificial intelligence by conducting a systematic literature review and employing cluster analysis. The study's principal findings underscore that SMEs' readiness for maturity is influenced prominently by strategic leadership and organisational culture, closely trailed by information technology, security, and business model transformation. Additionally, three pivotal dimensions encompass data analytics and governance, cost-benefit and risk management, and environmental factors. Consequently, proposing that evaluating digital readiness and maturity for SMEs should encompass these six dimensions, thoughtfully considering various prerequisites related to analytics and artificial intelligence.
