A Study of IT Facilities and E-Business System Adoption in Libyan Manufacturing Companies

It is generally believed that larger manufacturing organizations respond more swiftly to changes in the global market place because they have better resources at their disposal. These companies are therefore able to remain competitive by formulating the appropriate corporate strategies and making investments which enable them to maintain their strategic position. An opinion based on the activities of such organizations might be misleading in validating a country's manufacturing strategy. This research gives an account to Libyan Manufacturing Companies and their adoption of IT facilities and E-business within the Industry. A sample of hundred questionnaires was sent to Libya, only sixty were returned. The results demonstrate that LMCs do not only require the usability of IT facility to enhance their workforce activities; but also some interests into Managerial, leadership, and technical skills as well.
