Abstract
This paper focuses on the effects of new information and communications technologies (NICT) on innovation and internationalisation in enterprises in the Social Economy. It begins by identifying strategic groups within enterprises by their functional choices of NICT. Extensive field work was carried out involving personal interviews with those responsible for 515 Andalusian enterprises. The results show that the positioning of enterprises with regard to NICT is linked to factors such as the size, location, sector of activity and time of first contact with IT. This positioning determines the commitment to innovation both now and in the future, and affects expectations for processes of internationalisation.
