Abstract
In order to become ‘world‐class’ enterprises, manufacturing SMEs have made sizable investments in Internet‐related technologies as the infrastructure for e‐business applications. To the extent that e‐business is assimilated by the SME, it can significantly affect the firm's key business processes and relationships such as servicing customers and collaborating with business partners. In this regard, an empirical study of 108 Canadian firms sought to answer the following questions: For what purposes are the Internet and the Web presently used, i.e., to what extent are e‐business functions assimilated in manufacturing SMEs? What characteristics of the SMEs' environmental, strategic, managerial, operational and technological context determine e‐business assimilation? And ultimately, to what extent does e‐business assimilation contribute to the growth and internationalization of manufacturing SMEs?

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
