Summary, etc. Restricted budgets, limited resources and budget cuts are the trademark o f the new business environment. Small and medium size enterprises (SMEs) are not an exception. Thus, it is crucial to study the efficiency and effectiveness o f investing in Information technologies (IT). Our study is the more important that it detected two phenomena that may appear as contradictory: (1) Some SMEs continue to invest in IT in the hope that a positive impact will follow on their performance (growth and increase in the rate o f return), (2) others, to the contrary, are cautious and restrain themselves to more 'traditional' approach. In order, to elucidate these phenomena, we surveyed 255 Tunisian SMEs in the textile-manufacturing sector. The proposed research model is based on the longitudinal analysis o f the relationship between IT variables, including investment in IT, and company's performance. The main research hypotheses stipulate that the investment in IT will have a direct impact on the company's performance, that certain organizational and personal factors will interact to affect the overall performance. The dependent variable being the company's performance, the impact o f the Information Systems (IS) variables on performance was to be assessed.

Will IS success affect the overall performance? The results o f our study, besides testing the instrument for assessing IS variables in the context o f a developing economy, land support to prior research findings. Users satisfaction with IS had a significant impact on performance. The direct impact o f IT investment on performance was not detected. We did find an indirect effect of investment in IT on performance. Many other IS variables did affect performance. Tunisian companies facing a more competitive environment have no choice but to rely more on IT to improve the quality o f their products and management practices. Many adopted ISO 9002 quality standard to improve their operations, processes and quality control. The IT will play a crucial role in the development o f new opportunities including e-commerce. The growth in IT investment indicates an increased awareness o f the importance o f adopting new technologies to remain competitive and take new challenges.
