For that, information was gathered on adequate and representative sample out of a total of 256 companies belonging to the several ICT activity subsectors, by on-line platform, in order to subsequently apply the different statistical techniques that have enabled us to corroborate and verify the information gathered in qualitative phase. The variables used during this phase were 3 control variables, 40 profile variables, 25 overall assessment variables and 12 economic and financial results variables, as shown in the chapter 5. As soon as the results compared in the two phases of the research that has been conducted, we saw that there are many and the very different in nature, the factors that have a bearing on this study, we have called as “ICT sustained growth”, distinguishing between internal factors on the companies themselves , industry factors and environmental factors.
