Leaders of small businesses are more hands-on and more involved in the daily operations of their businesses; many take on IT in addition to their other responsibilities, according to CDW’s Small Business Driver’s Seat Report released today. The study also identified some significant differences in technology strategy, experience and plans among women-owned small businesses.
The study found that 69 percent of executives of women-owned companies with five to 18 employees are “totally involved” in IT decisions, and 50 percent of executives of women-owned companies with 50 to 99 employees are “totally involved” in IT decisions.
Additional findings indicate that women-owned companies adopt core technologies in line with other businesses, but lag slightly in hiring dedicated IT professionals and adopting data warehouse/business intelligence tools.
