A necessary but not sufficient precondition for developing ICT is its adoption and usage.…”

This paper proposes a tool for objective evaluation of organisations’ information and communication technologies (ICT) infrastructure development level: Composite Indicator of the Organisational Information and Communication Infrastructure—CIOICTI. Based on separate research in 68 different companies, it aggregates hardware, software and humanware aspects of ICT development in organisations, especially valuing companies with synergetic aspects. It consists of six linear and non-linear indicator components, each designed to evaluate one specific aspect of ICT development, based on the weighted sum principle. The proposed CIOICTI examines ICT infrastructure as a necessary but not sufficient condition for successful ICT usage in business performance improvement. The obtained CIOICTI values are summarised in the distribution and tested for normality. Results are tested on the data from observed companies, averaged according to company size and industry and benchmarked. The proposed composite indicator can be used as an objective tool for researchers and practitioners to assess the level of ICT development for benchmarking with other companies, planning organisational changes or assessing infrastructural requirements for planning and implementation of ICT related projects in a business organisation.

To date, definitions of information and communication technology (ICT) development used in quantitative studies on the relationship between economic development and ICT are incomplete and often based on single indicators. Thus, this study investigates the link between ICT maturity and economic development in the Organisation of Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries. A novel composite index of ICT maturity that includes previously neglected dimensions of ICT maturity, such as affordability and quality of internet connectivity, is utilised. The baseline estimations using the feasible generalised least squares indicate that ICT maturity is associated with an increase in economic development by 1%–3.8% in OECD countries. These findings have been cross-validated by applying the generalised method of moments estimation. Results imply that the holistic development of ICT, including infrastructure, skills, and affordability, can augment economic development.
