El avance de las nuevas tecnologías de la información y la comunicación (tic) no se distribuye de manera homogénea entre las empresas de los distintos sectores de la economía. Éstas comprenden no sólo el uso de Internet y la computadora, sino otras herramientas relacionadas con el funcionamiento administrativo de las empresas, así como con el conocimiento del perfil del consumidor. Esto es particularmente cierto en las empresas del sector comercio y servicios, donde se observa una brecha muy significativa entre los micros, pequeños, medianos y grandes establecimientos. Por ello, el objetivo del trabajo es analizar si los micros y pequeños comerciantes minoristas de Hermosillo, Sonora, conocen las tic, y en su caso, si las aplican como una ventaja competitiva. Para el logro del objetivo se evaluó una muestra representativa de 450 establecimientos. El resultado obtenido en febrero de 2009 demuestra que no obstante el avance en el uso de estas herramientas tecnológicas, su conocimiento y grado de aplicabilidad es todavía insuficiente para aumentar los niveles de competitividad de los micros y pequeños comercios. Por lo tanto, no tienen la ventaja competitiva que representa el uso de las tic para permanecer con éxito en el mercado local.
