Information becomes the base of modern economy. Tendencies of development of informational technologies and informational economy in Lithuania are introduced in this word. There is general informational economy factors presented: establishing the informational, and analysis of situation and perspectives of education system. The progress of informational economy is insufficient. The value- attitudes of Lithuanian inhabitants are twofold: on the one hand, they are favorable regarding informatization of the country since they relate the development of an information society with the optimistic prospects of a democratic welfare state. On the other hand, due to the overly pessimistic and critical assessment of the present condition and action of the government Lithuanian tend to associate such prospects with only the distant future.

Informational technology outsourcing has been increasing in popularity over the last decades. It became a trend to transfer IT related processes and activities to an external provider, often located not only in a different country, but on a different continent. Outsourcing IT porcesses to an external provider is an appealing prospect, since the firm can transfer the resources from IT to more important processes. Moreover, since provider can be chosen from virtually anywhere in the world, there is a valid chance of significant IT costs reduction. All those benefits, however, are far from guaranteed. This thesis briefly describes the theory of IT ousourcing, presents current trends in outsourcing of information technologies, lists the common dangers by the decision making process concerning IT outsourcing, presents particular examples of large IT outsourcing contracts and finally introduces analysis of various aspects of IT outsourcing decisions and their results followed by econometric analysis, which examines possible patterns between the particular decisions and their results.
