This study aims to extend the empirical literature on the relationship between ICT, electronic commerce and SME performance in developing countries. To achieve this goal, we employ a sample of 87 manufacturing firms from the city of Bahía Blanca, Argentina in the year 2015. By es- timating a structural equation model, we obtain that electronic commerce adoption has a positive and significant influence on SME sales which is reinforced by the level of ICT use. Other organizational factors such as firm size and public programs explain performance, but are not significant predictors of the electronic commerce adoption. 2019 artículo científico 0186-1042 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=39571719014 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/395/39571719014/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/395/39571719014/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/395/39571719014/39571719014.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/395/39571719014/movil 10.22201/fca.24488410e.2019.1922 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=395 Contaduría y Administración application/pdf Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Contaduría y Administración (México) Num.4 Vol.64
