Abstract

This research has two main objectives. It aims to investigate the rel a- tion between ICT development and enterprise capacity to generate added value and explore companies’ IT infras tructure with reference to Hungary, Slovakia, Italy and Portugal. Data have been obtained from international datasets and an online survey including about 300 enterprises classified into microenterprises, small and medium - sized enterprises, and corporation s. With reference to co m- pany IT infrastructure, findings indicate that enterprises of the two Southern European countries are more developed in relation to the number of wor k- stations, the use of server - based networks and business information systems r e- gard less of their size. Hungarian and Slovakian businesses seem to hardly use any of these systems. In addition, results suggest that business size does play a role in IT adoption in all examined countries. This implies that policy - makers should pay attention to business size and country - specific conditions as these two factors might affect policy implementation.
