Abstract

The development of information technologies and means of communication provided an opportunity to form a new economic environment, the intensity of use of which has become a feature of the functioning of modern business. A pronounced tendency of business development was the emergence of new forms of interaction between economic agents and the implementation of business processes with a predominance of electronic business relations.

Now, it is possible to implement business processes, making maximum use of Internet technologies, as the sphere of circulation allows, since a large number of organizations work here, and a substantial share of capital is turning. Investments in information and communication technologies, connectivity and growth of e-commerce have become key elements in expanding e-business and the digital economy. These events, along with the policy of attracting human capital, innovation and entrepreneurship, create a key platform for the new economy in the Baltic countries.
