Additional evidence on the positive role of eBusiness in
driving up the efficiency of business processes is provided
by the 2006 edition of the e-Business W@tch
•
•
•
According to the survey, 44% of enterprises, representing 57% of
the overall employment, said that they had experienced a positive
effect of ICT on the efficiency of their business processes.
The perceived positive impact of ICT is correlated with the
enterprise size: 76% of large (250+employees) gave a positive
feedback compared to 38% of micro enterprises (less than 10
employees).
ICT does not only translate into leaner processes but it is also felt
as an important factor for improving relations with client: 44% of
businesses, comprising 52% of total employment reported an ICT
led improvement in the quality of the customer service.

Another important educational impact of ICT is on
perception:
• ‘e-learning Nordic 2006’ shows that pupils, teachers
and parents consider that ICT has a positive impact
on learning, and allows for programmes tailored to
individual pupils’ needs.
• The Dutch Government noted teachers becoming
more and more convinced of improved educational
achievements through the use of ICT.
• In a Commission study of teachers in spring 2006,
teachers using ICT had positive attitudes to their
impacts on students, particularly for collaborative
work and for being more attentive while in class.

Global trends
Existence of digital gaps and divides between
countries
The ICT sector is the most globalised part of the
world economy. ICT products represent more than
one quarter of the world imports and one fifth of world
exports.
E-business is developing extremely rapidly in both
developed and developing countries, as a instrument
to overcome economic barriers.
International market for ICTs is already enormous
and now is growing at a rate of 8% per year.
www.ebusiness.edu.mk
ICT trends for our country
Lack of statistical data
ICT and related segments of the economy are
growing faster than others.
Development of ICTs is shifting from
production to services
Software production is a leading segment of
ICT related production
The share of locally produced software is no
more than 5 to 10 % of the total software used
The level of development of the ICT sector is
closely connected with the liberalization level of
the ICT economy
High demand for ICT specialist

E-business trends
Information is one of the key factors that
motivates people to use the Internet
The task of providing demand-driven
information to all users is one of the main
driving forces for Internet penetration
Necessary infrastructure for e-business
applications is only now being put into place
www.ebusiness.edu.mk
E-business readiness
According McConnell International:
Connectivity (are networks easy and affordable to
access and to use)
E-leadership (is e-readiness a national priority)
Information security (can the processing and the
storage of networked information be trusted)
Human capital (are the right people available to
support e-business and to built knowledge based
society)
E-business climate (how easy is it to do e-business
today)
www.ebusiness.edu.mk
Conclusions
• The knowledge transfer between research centres
(universities) and enterprises should be promoted.
• To counteract the e-business skill-shortages in the
country, opportunities for vocational training and for
ICT product demonstrations to companies should be
offered.
• Information should be provided to businesses on how
to assess cost-benefits of e-business. Especially
SMEs should be helped to better understand
organisational aspects of e-business, not just focused
on technology.
• Good practices should be identified and their benefits
communicated to businesses
• The use of e-learning should be stimulated.
