Abstract

Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) represent the key determinant of productivity growth, poverty reduction and living standards improvement. ICTs have an effect on improving the production process, accessing new markets, as well as promoting competitiveness of companies and countries. Since 2001, the dynamics of ICTs implementation on a country level has been monitored by The Global Information Technology Report, thereby contributing to general awareness about possibilities of their usage in everyday life and work. The Report consists of four parts, including one named Networked Readiness Index (NRI). NRI includes decisions about access to and usage of available ICT infrastructure, as well as available digital resources including both software and skills. Given that NRI facilitates identification of areas needing economic and development policies intervention, this paper emphasizes the impact of a country networked readiness on improving the SMEs collaborativeness.
