The final Comparative Analysis report summarises the outcome of the comparative analysis that was performed among the main European, national (EU27 + Turkey) and regional ICT policies/priorities and research initiatives/programmes that were found relevant to the field of Networked Enterprise.

The report identifies the common interests and potential synergies among the Member States (i.e. potential research areas of common interest) and concludes with a short list of ‘prominent Networked Enterprise research areas’ for future ERA coordination actions. Furthermore, it briefly comments on the outcome of former ERA coordination activities in the field, presents good practices, and concluds with strengths and weaknesses, missing activities and key success factors for the future.

Finally, it recommends a set of ERA coordination actions, in the form of an ERA Coordination Action Plan in the field of Networked Enterprise (2008-13).
