SUMMARY

Even though they have a considerable contribution to economic growth, MSMEs have various business sustainability problems. This study aims to test whether e-commerce, information technology, business network affects performance. Besides, this study also examines the effect of performance on business sustainability. The data were obtained employing a questionnaire given to 193 MSMEs owners in Yogyakarta. This research was conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic so that questionnaires were distributed both online and offline. The analysis results using PLS show that e-commerce and business networks affect performance, while information technology does not affect performance.
