Abstract

Even when the ICT industry in the Slovak Republic has been one of few industries in which the employment has grown last years, the socio and economic regional disparities in Slovak regions influence an economic development in Slovak Republic (further SR). The purpose of this study is to analyze clusters from the 8 regions in the Slovak republic in terms of the ICT sector. The paper deals with the problem of socio-economic disparities in the Slovak Republic and their impact on the development of the ICT sector. Through hierarchical clustering and Cophenetic Correlation Coefficient the socio-economic regional disparities and their impact on the ICT sector in SR have been researched. Based on the research results and findings, the impact of regional disparities on the ICT sector has been evaluated.
