Sažetak
Today’s business needs cannot be resolved without ICT. However, are we aware of how ICT affects the businesses we develop? In working experience, I have realized that the implementation of new ICT generates strategic changes in the way management did not expect. Changes that have a big impact on the company, so the importance of understanding this change is extremely important. This motivated me to start exploring the impact of ICT on business strategy. The survey included 209 companies from all Croatian regions, of which 61% small, 21% medium and 18% large enterprises, classified by the number of total revenues (up to over HRK 250 million), number of employees (from 1 to 10, 500) and included all sectors by the national classification. Quantitative, qualitative and comparative analysis, generalization and specialization, descriptive, mathematical, graphical and statistical methods were used to process the collected data. The research develops a monitoring model of ICT impact on business strategy and the generalized conclusions make a contribution to information and economic science and helps managers to anticipate negative consequences in those situations. The research confirms the fact that ICT significantly change business strategy, thus confirming the hypothesis: ICT implementation changes the business strategy of the company. The paper provides information from previous researches, the author’s views, conclusions, and practical data. Consequently, it can be an incentive for other researchers to enlarge the research or explore the impacts of ICT in other areas ; or to critically process, replicate, modify and apply the research results.
