This study uses a qualitative method. The respondents of this study were MSMEs who were randomly selected using snowball sampling by previous informants from various sectors regardless of the size of their business. Informants from the MSMEs are business owners with different educational backgrounds and experiences.

We found that four main factors become the basic considerations for SMEs in Surakarta to use or not to use information technology to increase competitiveness in the industry
