Background
Future Internet (FI) is a “means” and not and “end” for SME business operation.
FI should leverage a competitive advantage for SMEs.
A clear formulation of what is @ FI for SMEs to take is not yet ready.
The issue is not “TO BE” or “NOT TO BE” a FI-SME but how and why “TO BECOME” a FI-SME.

Background
SMEs are trapped in a resource crossroad towards (Future) Internet technology embracement. There is an aggregated demand
for IT services. Individually, the variability of the
specific enterprise demand is too large.
SMEs are “organic”, responsive, flexible and adaptive and require different managerial approaches for predominantly flat structures.

Background
SME activity focus is on medium-term survival.
Business case evaluation for advanced IT solutions is difficult in the SME context. Lack of control over
business environment + limited market share.
SMEs take the dual role of PROSUMER in the FI context

Research Questions
But Small AND Medium Enterprise (SME) is a too broader business category to call for a “single” solution from the Future Internet. So… What a competitive advantage means
for SMEs? What are the technological and business
ingredients to build a competitive advantage for an SME?
What ingredients should be “unique” for SME competitive advantage?
Where can the Future Internet technology make a difference in terms of SME business activities and organization?

Research Questions
How should a competitive advantage be built for SMEs? Should all the required ingredients
be put together at the same time to facilitate a “real” SME competitive advantage?
What are the “real” incentives for an SME to become a FI-SME?
Will FI technology enable mass-customization of SME Enterprise (collaboration) services?
