Abstract
The increase of competitiveness asks companies to individuate new methods and tools to improve efficiency, to decrease the operational costs, to rapidly answer the customers demand and put new products on the market. This situation is at the basis of the growing interest of companies (even small and medium), towards ICT, as a tool to improve internal organisation and relationships with the outside. The introduction of innovation via ICT, however, is possible only via a deep analysis of the human and organisational factors related to the technological changes and the adoption of both efficient procedures for use and orientation/training tools apt to help the company to benefit of the technological change. This special issue focuses on Training issues for successful ICT innovation in companies. Issues relevant to this topic include, but are not limited to the following: (1) the influence of the human factor on technology-driven changes; (2) learning needs brought about by ICT innovation in companies; (3) assessment of small companies attitude towards ICT based organisation ; and (4) the support of educational technology to the training about technological innovation. The analysis of the above or related problems with reference to small and medium enterprises is of particular interest.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
