Impacts and Risk Assessment of Technology for Internet Security Enabled Information Small-Medium Enterprises (TEISMES) investigates TEI, discovering the opportunities and challenges presented by TEI to the new form of small medium enterprises (SME). This emerging economy is bringing with it new forms of TEI intermediation, online businesses, virtual supply chains, rapidly changing internet-electronic commerce technologies, increasing knowledge intensity and unprecedented sensitivity of the time-to-market by customers.
