ABSTRACT

The rapid worldwide progress of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) has attracted increasing attention from many economists and researchers who have focused on studying impact of ICT diffusion on business. The usage of ICT systems provides enterprises with many diverse advantages, including such fundamentals as more efficient achievement of business objectives, systemic solutions in operations and more efficient reactions to various crises. Many ICT tools can be efficiently used by small and medium entities. The evolution of ICT has been shaped by both innovational complementarities and sequential appearance of imbalances that have focused innovation activity in discrete phases of industrial development. On the basis of data from the indicated reports, it must be concluded that Poland still has a lot to do in terms of information and communication technologies. A necessary condition of improved ICT development levels in Poland is support from public administration in bringing legal provisions to order and designating innovative technologies as a priority within state policy.
