Abstract

The rapid increase in the importance of information and communication technologies in all areas of the economy and society cannot be overlooked. However, little attention has been paid to the associated material aspects of the path to the information society. In the above-mentioned volume, the material flows in the field of information and communication technologies as well as technological, economic and social innovation potentials for their reduction are examined. The analysis of the preconditions, obstacles and measures to improve the innovative capacity of companies and society will show perspectives towards sustainability.
