Enterprise and e-business
In a globalised world, the competitiveness of European enterprises depends on their ability to adapt to – and exploit – the new framework conditions. Europe still suffers from having many traditional (manufacturing) sectors struggling with this transformation, while other industries are at the global cutting edge. Innovation is the keyword for moving forward and (re-)gaining our competitive strength. In order for this to happen, both traditional and new industries need to increase their investment in Research & Development, capitalize fully on the application of information and communication technologies, and tap into the unexploited potential of their human resources.
