Abstract
The prime aim of this study is to determine the challenges faced in the context of information technology adoption by micro and small enterprises. A sample of 500 respondent firms from Punjab, Haryana and Himachal Pradesh has been collected from the healthcare services and hospitality sector. To reach the target population judgmental sampling technique has been used. Exploratory factor analysis has been applied to analyse the results. The study has found that four factors, technical and human barrier, government interference and personal barrier, infrastructure barrier and lack of skills and resistance to change, has been extracted from nineteen variables. So, it is suggested that more and more investments in information technology significantly impact micro and small firms and also help in survival and generate profits.
