- DIGITALIZATION OF SMALL AND MEDIUM-SIZED ENTERPRISES IN BULGARIA – A FACTOR FOR THEIR COMPETITIVENESS (2026) · doi
Future research should focus on industry-specific digitalization strategies, the role of digital entrepreneurship, and the long-term impacts of digitalisation on SMEs' performance and internationalization.
