Abstract
The objective of this paper is to generate a conceptual model for the analysis and evaluation of the ICT adoption process in Argentinean SMEs. This model considers four environments and their associated factors. This conceptual model will be applied to a future field work, in order to carry out a process of calibration and proposal of a new version of the model presented. The biggest difference with previous models has to do with an updated vision of business models and markets, mainly a product of the evolution of connectivity.
