Using of information techniques (IT) in small and medium companies
Date: Wednesday, November 8th, 2006
Theme:
Since November 2003 owners, managers or people responsible for the IT infrastructure of 520 Polish SMB companies are surveyed quarterly on their attitudes towards use of IT&C in the companies. From their answers the MSI index is calculated, which reflects the changes of attitudes. Respondents are asked to evaluate how the IT resources in their companies have changed in any given quarter (over the previous quarter) and what their forecasts are (how they expect the situation to change over the next 3 months). There is also an additional questions related to a current subject. Answers to this questions are not included in the calculation of the MSI index but they are discussed separately.
Respondents formulate their evaluations and forecasts by stating whether for any given factor/value there has been (will be) an increase, a decrease or no change or that any given factor contributes positively, negatively or is irrelevant for a given domain of company’s operations.
The research analyzes current approach and positions of the surveyed entrepreneurs. Questions on attitudes or opinions as: “cheaper/more accessible/positive influence”, “more expensive/less accessible/negative influence”, “no change/irrelevant” refer to a previous quarter, whereas questions on plans or demand and needs refer to the next quarter.
