- Abstract
Evolution of consumer behaviour has been stimulated by the boost in digital technologies (DTs) causing transformation in the process of searching for, choosing and purchasing of goods and services by modern consumers – technology savvy users of gadgets. The evolution of consumer behaviour also induces transformation in the system of distribution of goods in the economy resulting in redistribution among existing channels and emergence of new ones and producing the phenomenon of omni-channel marketing, with the system of distribution of goods and services in small and medium-size business (SME) sector following the general trends in wider transformation of both national and global economies. The degree of digitization in SMEs external communications is determined by a number of factors both promoting and hampering the process of their digital transformation. Digitization of SMEs in terms of products distribution and business-consumer interaction is a key factor for SME sustained business development.
