    Information and Communication Technologies investments have drastically modified the competitive markets due to the impact on firm performance and productivity. This paper aims to analyse the differences between ICT adopter firms and non-adopter firms. OLS regressions and ordered logit models provide the methodological approach. From data based on a questionnaire survey to 327 Spanish firms in 2002, the empirical results indicate the essential role played by some variables in the ICT adoption. The results confirm, for example, the influence of variables such as firm size. The role of human capital and competitive strategies based on product and service quality are relevant in ICT adoption. The paper is organised as follows. First, the section 1 introduces the paper. The section 2 provides the establishment and explanation of the theoretical hypotheses. This section is followed in the section 3 by the methodology adopted in this study, including both the model and the data sources employed in the estimations. Some basic statistics and the results of the model estimations are presented and interpreted in the penultimate section, before concluding the paper with some remarks on the findings and important implications in the ICT adoption

    El presente trabajo tuvo como objetivo establecer el grado de integración de la gestión de activos físicos en empresas manufactureras de Manizales. Por medio de un estudio cuantitativo y un estudio de tipo exploratorio y descriptivo, ya que se realizó un sondeo sobre el estado de la gestión de activo en el sector manufacturero de Manizales, tema en el cual no se encuentran antecedentes particulares. La investigación aplicó un instrumento de evaluación, validado previamente con una de las empresas y alineado a la guía internacional ISO 55000. La organización y análisis de los datos obtenidos permitió identificar las acciones realizadas en las diferentes empresas que están en línea con una posible implementación de la norma. Los resultados que se obtuvieron corresponden a una integración del 75% para la gran empresa y de un 61% para la mediana empresa; obteniendo un porcentaje global del 66%. Lo que permite inferir que las empresas evaluadas presentan grandes falencias y debilidades en cuando a la práctica de acciones para la implementación de un adecuado SGA. Se encontraron grandes brechas entre la mediana y gran empresa a la hora de gestionar los activos y la información a partir de ellos.The objective of this work was to establish the degree of integration of physical asset management in manufacturing companies in Manizales.
