“…One of the key themes in the digital transformation narrative is that digital technologies improve productivity at firm-level and contribute to economic performance and competitiveness of firms, regions and nations (Tranos et al, 2020;Martinez-Caro et al, 2020;Norris 2020;Bertschek et al, 2013). Digitisation has often been regarded…”

“…In the current global scenario, SMEs contribute to the country's GDP through employment opportunities, productivity and growth, even though in the Covid-19 pandemic situation they find a different and more challenging situation (Viswanathan & Telukdarie, 2021). The digitization of business carried out by SMEs has also been proven to bring a myriad of benefits, although it must be admitted that the implementation cannot be done rashly (Kergroach, 2020;Norris, 2020). Every country has now made efforts to digitalize SMEs groups, both in urban and rural areas.…”

“…For example, in Russia, SMEs groups in both rural and urban areas have the same opportunity to win digital competition, depending on their structural readiness (Sinyuk et al, 2021). The same thing happened in Wales (Norris, 2020), as digitalization of SMEs in rural areas was able to overcome the spatial gap for SMEs. The digitization of SMEs is also able to improve economic performance such as productivity and exports, as well as greater attractiveness to foreign capital flows (Trașcă et al, 2019).…”

The Covid-19 pandemic has encouraged initiatives to digitalize SMEs to be carried out seriously and more equally. This is due to the fact that the success of the SMEs business in the digital era is inextricably linked to its readiness to digitalize existing business operations. One proof of the readiness of SMEs in doing business in this digital era is that they have used digital marketing platforms. This research aims to digitalize the business of the SMEs group in the Tempe Industry Center in Kampung Sanan Malang, East Java, which is included in the Indonesian government’s projection to maximize income in the creative economy sector. This research is a qualitative research with the stages of research implementation covering the identification and mapping of the potential for digitalization of the economy, to the development of an e-commerce website in the Tempe Sanan Malang SMEs group. The research results take the shape of an e-commerce website used by SMEs actors, as well as an increase in digital competence owned by SMEs actors, enabling them to digitalize their businesses in a sustainable manner.

“…The detail is shown in Figure 5. SMEs can leverage digital technologies to boost their productivity through "key activity" extension: eliminating paper processes, inputting data directly into the computer, allowing employees to work from home, and using software to manage and analyze data, which serves as the basis for decision making (Norris, 2020).…”

With the advancement and widespread application of digital technology, digital transformation (DT) is becoming an increasingly important aspect in the long-term development of Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs). However, the facts show that the digital transformation process is delayed and has a significant impact on SMEs in China, particularly during the recent epidemic era. During the DT, Chinese SMEs face numerous problems and difficulties. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to compare the features of SMEs' digital transformation in China between economically developed eastern coastal districts and the economically undeveloped western mainland district. The advancement of research on the digitalization of SMEs is critical to the practical value of boosting the digital economy in China. This study employed a questionnaire to survey 318 SMEs in China. The result discovered a considerable disparity between SMEs in different regional economies: (a) Eastern SMEs are more advanced than western SMEs in terms of digitization, digital investment, digital awareness and maturity levels of DT, (b) SMEs in various industries demonstrate diverse present digitalization conditions; the tertiary industry demonstrated the most significant transformation will, while the secondary industry demonstrated better transformation process execution. As a result, the findings provide the Chinese government with practical implications on how to deal with post-epidemic economic shifts as well as policy recommendations for the long-term sustainable development of SMEs.
