This study aims to examine the development of Indonesian micro and small enterprises (MSEs) in utilizing the internet for their businesses. This is a descriptive study in nature, which analyses secondary data on MSMEs. It also reviews key literature on the use of ICT by MSMEs in developing countries. It shows that MSMEs, dominated by MSEs, have been the main player in Indonesian domestic economic activities as they accounted for more than 90 per cent of all firms and contributed to more than 50 per cent of gross domestic product (GDP). But, only a small fraction of total MSEs in Indonesia that utilize the internet for business, and the intensity of internet usage by MSEs varies by province and type of business. This is the first macro-level study ever conducted in Indonesia on the use of internet by MSEs based on national data from 2016 Economic Census conducted. Thus, findings of this study may add new empirical evidence to the literature on the utilization of ICT by MSMEs in developing countries.
本研究旨在考察印度尼西亚微型和小型企业（MSEs）在其业务中利用互联网的发展情况。这本质上是一项描述性研究，分析了有关微型、小型和中型企业（MSMEs）的二手数据。它还回顾了发展中国家MSMEs使用信息通信技术的关键文献。研究表明，以MSEs为主的MSMEs一直是印度尼西亚国内经济活动的主要参与者，因为它们占所有企业的90%以上，并为国内生产总值（GDP）贡献了50%以上。但是，印度尼西亚利用互联网开展业务的MSEs总数中只有一小部分，而且MSEs的互联网使用强度因省份和业务类型而异。这是印度尼西亚有史以来基于2016年经济普查的全国数据对MSEs使用互联网进行的首次宏观层面研究。因此，本研究的结果可能会为发展中国家MSMEs利用信息通信技术的文献增添新的实证证据。
