Abstract
This paper attempts to develop a model investigating impact of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) usage on entrepreneurs’ innovations and business performance. Small and Medium Size Enterprises are major sources of employment and food production; therefore it plays a key role in Indian livelihood. Sector plays a major role for creation of employment opportunities, mobilizing domestic savings, poverty alleviation, income distribution, regional development, training of workers and entrepreneurs and creating economic environment which large industries flourish and contribute to export earnings. When considering the current statistics it shows that sector is not providing the expected results compared to developed countries. Thus there is a burning need to identify mechanism to improve SME performance in India.
