Abstract:
To participate in the digital economy, for a nation, it is imperative the need to adopt ICT, but not only at companies and individuals levels but also on the entire society. The national ICT adoption is significant especially in sustainable economic development of Romania. The degree to which Romania join the digital economy is influenced by measures and policies adopted by the government. The Government should facilitate, motivate and support the adoption of ICT at all three levels: individual, entrepreneurial and governmental. A nation cannot benefit from participation in digital economy when the government vision on the use of modern technology is not sufficiently developed. If Romania wants to be a competitive country, then the main role of Government should be to facilitate and enable development of the digital economy.
