Ambiguity of benefits
Another problem for SMEs is the ambiguity of benefits that will be gained through electronic commerce implementation. Since electronic commerce is a recent phenomenon, it is hard to compare successful examples of SMEs. Small enterprises in particular are inclined to be more influenced by tangible practice results rather than theoretical knowledge. On the other hand, although it can be possible for almost any field, electronic commerce may have high success in certain products but low in others. For instance in intangible goods such as music, software etc. that can be easily transmitted from one place to another through websites, electronic commerce provides numerous advantages. However, for products which are hard to be transmitted physically, the advantages of electronic commerce are relatively limited.
