But we do not have the same overview in developing countries of Western Balkans, such as Albania & Macedonia.The 2012 Report of Global Information Technology shows that the results of NRI1 indicator which expresses the progress of ICT in different countries of the world have ranked those countries in some positions that are not so preferable compared with a large number of other countries of the world. The aim of this study relates to the identification of any internal organizational factor that causes a lack of technological progress and aims to give some recommendations on how to improve it in the future? A more detailed analysis of CEO-ICT relationships within the company can lead to a better outcomes of NRI indicator in the future and accelerate the progress of ICT in these companies. This relationship in itself is influenced by the leadership style, organizational structure and decision-making style.
