Abstract
This article investigates the digital transformation processes in small and medium enterprises (SMEs), examining the critical success factors, implementation challenges, and performance implications of digitalization initiatives. Through comprehensive analysis of theoretical frameworks and empirical evidence, this research identifies the key barriers that prevent SMEs from successfully adopting digital technologies and proposes a structured implementation model.
