ABSTRACT

This chapter presents the meaning of the term "infrastructure" from the standpoint of the development of economic system of new quality, e-economy. It describes the testing results of the methodology proposed for the infrastructure of e-economy analyses. Framework such as construction of e-economy infrastructure index has been proposed. This framework provided guidelines, which were subsequently used to perform a comparative analysis of the components of e-economy infrastructure for countries with medium level of e-economy development. Investments in infrastructure are among the most capital-intensive tasks within the organization of e-business systems. Therefore, the information that some elements have the greatest effect on the targets is essential in the management of e-business systems. Cluster analysis leads to partition into clusters with all the grouping attributes simultaneously. Thus, as a rule, they do not show clear boundaries of each group and also do not know how many groups should be extracted.
