Abstract

Electronic commerce (EC) has become a primary axis in different societies. Technology has become a fundamental part of the business environment, and the way organizations in the world are developed and connected. There is a growing number of companies that are generating alternative systems to increase their sales using Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). Hence, this study aims to determine the influence of e-commerce on the sales of Colombian Small and Medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). This paper starts by testing a panel of 2.177 companies, where the industry, commerce, and service sectors are analyzed between 2012 and 2016. It is intended to know the causal effect of online trading compared to the total sales made by companies, as well as its impact on the sales developed by each of them. Through an econometric analysis, applying the Differences in Differences impact measurement model, it was found that the adoption of Electronic Commerce in medium-sized companies has a greater impact than in small companies, and that the activity that most influences e-commerce is in the service sector.
