Abstract

This paper studies the importance of human resources, among other factors, as facilitators of the adoption of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs). We have worked with a sample of 1685 Spanish firms. The results of our analyses (conditioned probit) show that higher employee qualifications, the use of related technologies and greater firm size have a positive impact on both the adoption of ICTs and the volume of investment made.
