Intellectual property protection is an important ingredient in the market success of knowledge-intensive enterprises operating in the information technology industry. The governance and the extent of protection of intellectual property related to software often seem to be connected to certain characteristics of an enterprise, such as its type and size. By analyzing the publicly available data, the author identifies various patterns primarily concerning the structure of ownership and management of the software enterprises in Croatia. The analysis reveals that all of the top 500 software enterprises according to revenue are closed, with the overwhelming majority being owner-managed and small or micro-sized. This would suggest that most software enterprises in Croatia are passive when it comes to their intellectual property. In relation to this, the author describes three profiles of enterprises depending on their attitude towards the governance of intellectual property. The author also formulates and explores four possible complementary approaches to the protection of intellectual property, both legal and non-legal, in addition to discussing various types of intellectual property rights with the aim of identifying those that are more suitable for the protection of different types of software.

Lurik fabrics, fabrics in the form of lines, are one of Indonesia's traditional woven fabrics that must get support to survive in competition with other fashion products, both nationally and globally. The complexity of the problems faced by small and medium industries engaged in weaving requires support from various scientific fields, namely industrial engineering, fashion, management, and information technology. In general, the support provided is to increase the quality and quantity of products produced, improve management, and expand the marketing network. Each of these divisions provides direct technical support in accordance with existing concrete problems. The industrial engineering division rearranged the production space so that it is more comfortable, safe and conducive to work. The Clothing Department provides training in the manufacture of derivative products from striated fabrics, so that derivative products with high economic value will be produced to be marketed. The Management Division improves the management of financial records and marketing planning, as well as the management of Intellectual Property Rights for their lurik motives. Information technology department, created a website for wider information dissemination, and created an online shop in several existing marketplaces. Some of the results of this assistance include a neatly arranged production room, a production machine with a production capacity of 2 times as much; 6 employees master the manufacture of derivative products with 3 product variants; 5 Intellectual Property Rights for lurik motives; 1 active website; 2 online shops. Overall, these activities have increased the quality and quantity of production produced, as well as market expansion.

The article showed that the issue of intellectual property is a modern problem, and although there are many different views on the problem in this modern era, the main controversy has emerged from two perspectives. In the digital world, there are points where both groups advocate and oppose intellectual property. There is a general consensus that intellectual property promotes innovation and that producers need some degree of protection to be rewarded for their work. What they do not agree on is the extent of intellectual property rights and how long this restriction will last. Keywords: intellectual property, information, technology, communication, security

The article analyzes the development of the information technology industry in Ukraine for the last few years. The purposes of the study were to identify and uncover problems with statistical monitoring of Ukrainian IT industry, analyze present challenges of the information technology industry development, and find ways to improve statistical studies of the industry on the state level.  The current state of the information technology industry in Ukraine and the main directions of the industry expansion (software development outsourcing, development of packaged software) were evaluated and compared to the ones of the European countries. Through a combination of researches and surveys conducted by the Ukrainian developer’s society (DOU), qualitative and quantitative characteristics of the IT industry development performance and labor market were analyzed: major education providers, the structure of job titles and positions, as well as principal locations, age-grading, gender and wage structure of workers. Conclusions from the analysis allow suggesting that the official state statistics service research areas provide a limited outlook on the information technology industry statistics due to being hindered by institutional constraints. Among the major constraints for the growth of the information technology industry in Ukraine, the following four are recognized: the lack of predictable and sustainable taxation, slow reforms process in the education system, an inappropriate level of intellectual property rights protection and insufficient development of state information technology infrastructure. While the impact of the Ukrainian information technology sector on the economic development is evident and the industry shows strong growth among the various segments of the Ukrainian economy, there is no sufficient essential economic information collected, analyzed, and disseminated due to a number of problems related to statistical monitoring, which in turn requires an appropriate statistical basis and assessment methodology for further evaluation of the industry development.

It is generally accepted that knowledge has become a third major factor of production, in addition to the traditional factors—labor and capital. Information technology production is a significant factor in the knowledge economy both because it is a major enabler of that economy and because it is itself highly knowledge intensive. Many countries around the world are looking for ways to promote the development of the knowledge economy, and information technology industries in particular. An important question is to what extent—and how—small developed countries might succeed in this endeavor.This study suggests a modified and more comprehensive version of the Ein-Dor et al. (1997) model of IT (information technology) industry success in small developed countries. Whereas the earlier model of IT industry success was based solely on the macro-economic theory of Grossman and Helpman (1991), the revised model suggested here incorporates Romer’s (1990) work in New Growth economics. A significant advance over earlier work in this area is the use of both longitudinal and time slice data. This article provides an in-depth analysis of the IT industry in four countries over a five-year period: Finland, Israel, New Zealand and Singapore. It analyses some changes that occurred over the period 1994 through 1998 and thus provides a reasonably comprehensive picture of the factors affecting the production of IT in these small developed countries. Our study reveals that four of the five endogenous variables studied have a close relationship to the development of IT industries in small developed countries. These variables are research and development, technological infrastructure, firm strategies, and capital availability. On the other hand, domestic IT use does not seem to be a major factor in IT industry development. Our analysis thus largely supports the more comprehensive model of IT industry success. These findings should be of interest to both researchers and policy makers seeking to develop the knowledge economy and information technology industries in particular.
