This study aims to analyze the influence of digital transformation on the productivity and profitability of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). Using a qualitative literature review approach, the research explores various previous studies and compares their results to understand how digital technology can help SMEs improve operational efficiency and competitiveness in the global market. Based on previous findings, it was discovered that the adoption of technologies such as e-commerce, cloud-based inventory management, and digital marketing can increase SME productivity by up to 30% and profitability by an average of 35%.

In addressing the challenges of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, support from the government and the private sector is crucial, particularly in providing digital training and access to technological infrastructure. This research also adopts the Theory of Technological Innovation, Resource-Based Theory, and Transaction Cost Economics Theory to understand the factors influencing digital transformation in SMEs. In conclusion, although there are many challenges in the digitalization process of SMEs, technology adoption can have a significant positive impact on productivity and profitability if supported by appropriate policies and infrastructure.]]>
