Keys in the Adoption of New Technologies in Latin American SMEs: Challenges for a Sustained Growth in the AI Age
Abstract
This research examines the integration of advanced technologies, particularly Artificial Intelligence (AI), in Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) across Latin America. It addresses a gap in scholarship regarding technological advancement in regional SMEs. Our study, based on data from 306 SME executives in six countries, reveals a growing trend towards technology adoption, especially in customer-oriented sectors, driven by desires for improved operational efficiency and productivity. Major barriers include high initial costs and lack of skilled personnel. The findings highlight the need for tailored digital advancement strategies in Latin America, considering the unique motivations, challenges, and operational contexts of SMEs. This study offers insights for policymakers, tech industry leaders, and SME decision-makers navigating technological transformation in the AI era, emphasizing the importance of strategic alignment, comprehensive implementation across business areas, and addressing workforce skill gaps for successful digital evolution.
