This IDC Insight examines different attitudes that small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) have with regard to advanced technology acquisition and use. In addition to describing the differences between the two basic SMB categories (small businesses with fewer than 100 employees and midsize firms with 100–999 employees), firms in developed and developing countries are compared both in total and by size. The document concludes with more detailed comparisons of firms in seven countries: the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Japan, India, China, and Brazil.
