Abstract

Les TIC représentent un des facteurs clés de performance des pays développés mais qu’en est-ildes entreprises des pays en voie de développement ?Cet article apporte un élément de réponseen s’interrogeant sur le lien entre le niveau de TIC et la performance des PME tunisiennes dusecteur des IEEE mesurée par la rentabilité économique. A partir d'une démarcheéconométrique (régression linéaire, causalité de Granger, test de Kruskal-Wallis, test del’ANOVA de Welch, tests post-hoc), nous mettons en évidence l’existence d’un lien statistiquesignificatif entre le niveau d’adoption des TIC et la performance des PME tunisiennes dusecteur des IEEE.
