Summary: Profile of the company that can benefit a lot from the implementation
of e-learning emerges from the data collected in research as medium or
large company, with computers in the network, making use of the Internet
and having its own website. These companies could benefit from information
systems to support management and are engaged in the production or delivery
of services with a high degree of innovation and high value-added services.
The catalog of these characteristics and the degree of their relevance
has been established as a result of research and provides a basis for the creation
of a matrix tool that measure approximate likelihood of success in implementing
e-learning.
Key words: informatics, e-learning, management.
1. INTRODUCTION
Knowledge is becoming an essential element of the company image in the
market and will affect a competitive advantage.[1] A new model of the economy
can be characterized not only by the description of the most important phenomena,
but also by properties of the entities involved. These are companies with formerly
unknown characteristics: the value of their physical assets is small in relation to
total capital, they owe. They utilize highly innovative technologies. The biggest
challenge is the twenty-first century is the ability to create and absorb an innovation.
The knowledge organizations are more flexible then their industrial predecessors.
The rules of competition that they are guided, are also different from the rules
formulated for the purpose of industrial companies.[2] As an example we should
mention Blue Ocean Strategy which is a business strategy that promotes creating
new market space or "blue ocean" rather than competing in an existing industry.
One of the possible ways to handle knowledge issues in company is e-learning.

the readiness of companies to implement e-learning, its degree of computerization,
and allowed to create a catalog of features that have a positive or negative impact
