Abstract

The significance of digital transformation for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), especially in times of disruption, is frequently demonstrated by research. Nevertheless, not much consideration has been placed on how SMEs undergo digital transformation. This study examines how SMEs' digital transformation will be affected by leaders' digital literacy utilising survey data from 276 SMEs in Indonesia. According to our research, leaders' digital literacy affects digital transformation through digital tool utilisation. Additionally, the features of leaders (such as age, educational level, and gender) further influence the association between leaders' digital literacy and digital tool utilisation. Our work is among initial endeavours to assess SMEs' digital transformation in an emerging country such as Indonesia. The description of how leaders' digital literacy affects SME digital transformation through digital tool utilisation is an extension that contributes to the literature on digitalisation.
