      abstract = {The article discusses the issue of the use of information  technology in the search for potential competitive  advantages in agricultural companies. Information  technology in agriculture should provide a clearly defined  benefit for the management’s decision-making. If  information technology is not being used to its full  potential and if the results are interpreted incorrectly,  the overall impact may be damaging to the position of  companies in the competitive environment. Investment in  information technology requires considerable sums that  should return in the form of faster and better  decision-making in which digitalized corporate processes  play a complex role. Strategic decision-making concerning  investments in information technology in various types of  agricultural businesses varies depending on their size,  focus, economic situation etc. In the context of the  current state of agriculture in the Czech Republic and  after a detailed analysis of available literature, the  authors conclude that the issues of quality of information  technology have not yet been systematically examined and  resolved in Czech agricultural companies. For this reason,  they consider it fruitful to focus their attention on this  subject. The main objective of the paper is to develop and  apply a methodological model for evaluating the quality of  information technology in an agricultural business. In  addition, we want to examine the broader impact of the  criterion of IT quality from the perspective of its  strategic importance for competitiveness and the extent to  which it supports strategic management in practice.},
