Wprowadzenie: Potrzeba wzrostu gospodarczego wśród krajów Globalnego Południa wymusiła zbadanie małych i średnich przedsiębiorstw (MŚP) jako siły napędowej takiego wzrostu. Jednak to, jak dobrze będą funkcjonować MŚP, zależy od pewnych czynników, takich jak ubóstwo informacyjne, które sprawia, że przedsiębiorcy są podatni na zagrożenia wobec użytkowników informacji biznesowych.
Cel: W artykule przeanalizowano czynniki, które rozwiązują problem ubóstwa informacyjnego w kierunku wzmocnienia MŚP na rzecz wzrostu gospodarczego na Globalnym Południu.
Metodologia: W badaniu przyjęto podejście oparte na szybkim przeglądzie literatury (RLR) w celu syntezy literatury na temat tego, w jaki sposób zajęcie się pojęciami ubóstwa informacyjnego (umiejętność korzystania z informacji, dostęp do informacji i infrastruktury informacyjnej) wzmocniłoby rozwój MŚP w krajach Globalnego Południa. Do przeglądu wykorzystano EBSCOhost, ProQuest i Google Scholar w oparciu o cztery kryteria kwalifikowalności: metodologię, rok publikacji, język i źródło publikacji.
Wyniki: Badanie wykazało, że umiejętność korzystania z informacji zapewnia przedsiębiorcom odpowiednie umiejętności do rozwijania swoich przedsiębiorstw w gospodarce opartej na informacji, wpływając na ich wyniki biznesowe. Analiza wykazała również, że dostęp do wymaganych informacji pozwala przewidzieć rozwój biznesu i zrównoważony rozwój przedsiębiorców. Co więcej, w badaniu stwierdzono, że infrastruktura informacyjna jest kluczowym atutem w poprawie konkurencyjności właścicieli MŚP, co prowadzi do rozwoju ich działalności. Te trzy czynniki (umiejętność korzystania z informacji, dostęp do informacji i infrastruktura informacyjna) okazały się kluczowe w rozwiązywaniu problemu ubóstwa informacyjnego w kierunku rozwoju MŚP.
Wniosek: Z badania wynika, że gdy przedsiębiorcy posiadają umiejętności korzystania z informacji i mają nieograniczony dostęp do informacji i infrastruktury informacyjnej, ich przedsiębiorstwa osiągają lepsze wyniki, co z kolei wpłynie na wzrost gospodarczy krajów na Globalnym Południu.
