Information and Communication Technologies Usage in Croatian Enterprises
In today's world, information and communication technologies (ICT) are crucial for social and economic development. Efficiency and competitiveness of enterprises depends largely on the acceptance and use of modern technologies. Any delay in the process of computerization can have serious repercussions for business operations. Therefore, it is important for enterprises, regardless of their type and size, to harness digital technologies to produce competitive advantage. With this in mind, the present study examines the use of ICT in Croatian enterprises. The analysis was focused on the period from 2007 to 2014. According to the available data, Croatian enterprises have highly integrated ICT into their business practices. The vast majority of enterprises use computers in daily operations and have the internet access, mostly through broadband. Over the past few years, the number of mobile broadband users has significantly increased. The percentage of enterprises with a website has also increased over time. However, there are areas that require improvement. Although more and more Croatian companies buy and sell goods and services over the internet, e-commerce is still not widespread. The same is true for the use of social media. In order to gain a more realistic picture of ICT use in Croatian enterprises, a comparison with the European Union countries has been made. The study also highlighted problems in obtaining data and emphasized the need for systematically collected information on ICT use that can be compared over time. Without such information it is not possible to develop adequate strategies and policies.
