Empirical Study of forecasting IT model leading to SME"s e-Commerce

&nbsp;&nbsp;Productivity for SMEs (small and medium enterprise) is so important in improving economical power in a country since SMEs generally occupy the most of country&quot;s economy in terms of the amount of employment and the number of enterprises. However, their productivity is relatively low in that the ratio of their products to LSEs&quot; (large scale enterprises) is less than 50%. Therefore IT will help them in terms of productivity and competitiveness. However, in fact Asian countries used to be confused in that they have no idea about how/where/what they invest since there is no forecasting IT model leading to SMEs&quot; productivity improvement, that is, no map to cruise over IT sea.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;In this paper, three models are presented for designing the map for SMEs&quot; cruise: the forecasting IT model using macroscopic economic indices, social IT-infrastructural economic indices and the economical entities&quot; ITnization indices, the enterprise ITnization Model, and the waterfall model leading to e-Commerce utilization. In particular the first forecasting model is the target of this paper. With the macroscopic economical indices - population, literacy rate, GDP, GDP for one person, Export/Import etc., this paper compares e-Readiness assessments of 84 countries in the perspective of ranking. This paper shows the relationship between economical indices and e-Readiness assessments in a graphical fashion. In surprise, empirically the graphs express that the intimate relationship exists.
