Abstract

One of the objectives SMEs are aiming to achieve now is to increase digital literacy. The development of digital literacy is the key area of interest in this study, which makes use of in-depth interviews with a few informants who are critical to the growth of SMEs in the Karawang Regency. Recent studies have shown that SMEs Karawang suffered from several significant issues during the pandemic, two of which were the absence of market outlets and of products’ legal aspects. Considering the study's findings, several suggestions have been made to boost the expansion of SMEs. Increasing digital literacy and employing digital marketing communication as a form of communication are some of these suggestions.
