Business information in Hungary Impressions of the contemporary scene

Abstract

Hungary is one of the fastest moving central european countries in the shift towards the market economy; with a target of 50% privatization by the year 1994. Part of this rapid change is a growing and substantial interest throughout the Hungarian information world in business information; particularly that available in the West. There is an acceptance within the information profession of the need to develop a business information infrastructure to support the needs of the growing community of private SME's (small to medium sized enterprises) in the move towards a market economy. This article will consider this development, taking account of existing Hungarian sources and barriers to development.
