They stand in the way of the developing countries trying to achieve their goals towards a global economy by embracing eTechnologies The feeble and many unsuccessful attempts to re-cycle the methodologies used by the developed countries, have left the developing high and dry. In formulating strategies for e-transformation of developing countries, the barriers specific to countries with lower GDPs have to be taken into serious consideration. In this paper, an eTransformation model that is being successfully used with SMEs in Australia is being modified appropriately, proposed and applied as the approach for eTransformation for developing countries using a case study approach. The 7E’s in eTransformation is a model developed by researchers at the University of Western Sydney. It is currently being used successfully with a group of companies in Western Sydney. The model incorporates new business thinking, business models in the new e-economy and addresses issues such as analysing the external environment in eTransforming, re-engineering business, business-IT alignment, and change management issues.

The developed nations of the world are taking advantage of these new technologies to expand their markets. Many countries, developed as well as developing, encourage the SMEs to form clusters to strengthen their marketing and buying power. Clustering is found to be a good strategy for SMEs all over the world to accept as a means to achieving competitive advantage. The Seven E's in e-transformation, a model developed by the University of Western Sydney, that is being successfully used with SMEs in Australia is applied as the approach to e-transform industries in developing countries towards e-business. The model incorporates new business thinking, business models in the new e-economy and it also depicts how clustering can be used to gain competitive advantage. The ceramic industry sector in Sri Lanka is used for the study of e-transforming a cluster of organisations.
