The paper fits in the line of studies that analyzes the preconditions that permit to ICT investment have a positive impact on firms performance, verifying the complementarity between inputs examined, namely ICT, organizational change and training. The empirical analysis is conducted on a balanced panel of Italian manufacturing firms covering the period 2001-2006. By drawing on different statistical methods, we found that the interaction between ICT, organizational change and training has a positive impact on labor productivity; This result is confirmed, in both estimates, only for the subsample of firms that involved their employees in training courses.

Abstract
The paper fits in the line of studies that analyzes the preconditions that permit to ICT investment have a positive impact on firms performance, verifying the complementarity between inputs examined, namely ICT, organizational change and training. The empirical analysis is conducted on a balanced panel of Italian manufacturing firms covering the period 2001-2006. By drawing on different statistical methods, we found that the interaction between ICT, organizational change and training has a positive impact on labor productivity; This result is confirmed, in both estimates, only for the subsample of firms that involved their employees in training courses.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
