Abstract

The report discusses the findings of an Information & Communication Technology (ICT) adoption project by five small-to-medium sized (SME) food enterprises in Australia. The project was based on a research-analyse-mentor-implement-review framework that entailed substantial engagement between participating SMEs and the Food Marketing Research Unit (FMRU) of Victoria University. The FMRU and the SMEs jointly analysed and defined individual SME’s business from a customer satisfying perspective and thereafter worked with ICT contractors to identify and introduce ICT infrastructure that aligned with the strategic intent of the SME. The FMRU team mentored and guided the owners and managers of the SMEs through the entire process of evaluating and prioritising the strategic objectives of their business and identifying and introducing appropriate ICT infrastructure that aligned with these objectives.
