Does Information Technology Lead to Smaller Firms?

By Erik Brynjolfsson

"Does Information Technology Lead to Smaller Firms?" examines the relationship between the adoption of information technology (IT) and the size of firms. Authored by Erik Brynjolfsson and the Sloan School of Management's Center for Information Systems Research, this study likely explores whether IT enables smaller firms to compete more effectively with larger organizations. It would analyze the potential for IT to reduce transaction costs, improve communication, and enhance productivity, thereby allowing smaller firms to achieve economies of scale previously available only to larger entities. This report offers insights into the shifting dynamics of business structures in an era of increasing technological advancement and the strategic implications for businesses adapting to these changes.
