There are introduced generally used methods for calculating sectoral specialization and concentration. The third part contains the conceptual framework of empirical analysis and results of ICT sector in V4+ regions in context of concentration and specialization and the Conclusion highlights some major conclusions of detailed analysis made in previous chapter.
