However, studies applied to small companies operating in emerging markets is still incipient, especially due to the few resources they have, which in turn affects their capacity for innovation.

The results of this research show that Perceived Usability and Perceived Usefulness are antecedents of the quality of the Website and e-satisfaction is considered a result, through which you can indicate the success of the adoption of these technological tools, which allow a better daily operation for such small businesses.
