As some SMEs are making good use of e-commerce to expand their businesses to the global market and increasing sales as well as profits, others have been very slow in adopting e-commerce. Most especially in Africa and other developing countries, SMEs have lower patronage in e-commerce adoption. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to review e-commerce adoption factors in SMEs. The paper further discusses definition of SME by some countries. In addition, SMEs readiness for e-commerce, Impact of globalization on SMEs e-commerce adoption, and potential benefits of e-commerce for SMEs are discussed in this paper.
