Abstract
In theory, IT integration through applications such as EDI and ERP provides an organization with the ability to exploit innovation capabilities. Based on survey data obtained from 309 Canadian manufacturing SMEs, this study aims to identify the enabling effect of IT integration upon the innovation capability of manufacturing SMEs, that is, in terms of growth and productivity outcomes, and to verify if this effect is subject to industry influences. The results underline paradoxical effects of IT integration. Overall, IT integration has an enabling effect on the relationship between process innovation capability and growth, and especially in low-tech SMEs, but a disabling effect on the relationship between process innovation capability and productivity, and especially in medium to high-tech 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
