GLOSSARY
DEFINITIONS Hardware – includes both computers and peripherals. Software – covers custom software, application packages, development tools and system software. Computer Services – covers consultancy, training, outsourcing, contract staff, software support and hardware support. Telecom Services – rental charges on telephone services including mobile phone services and the cost of telephone calls, facsimiles, internet services and data transmission. IT and Telecom Staff – covers gross pay including benefits.
Enterprise – is a business unit which is defined as a legal unit, person or group of people producing goods or services under their own control and with their own legal identity. A branch or office of a larger concern is not in itself an enterprise. Rounding – the number of enterprises is rounded to nearest 5. Where the number of enterprises is rounded to 0, the associated IT expenditure values are included in the nearest adjacent employee band with non-zero enterprise entry. This is to ensure confidentiality to survey respondents.
DATA SOURCES The historical technology expenditure is based on a series of government surveys. These collect data by industry and size of enterprise. The industry data is disaggregated to cover the five travel subsectors. There are four major UK government sources used, each providing size of enterprise data for each subsector on a quarterly/annual basis. 1. Quarterly Survey of Capital Expenditure This survey collects expenditure data on hardware and software. It has a sample size of 27,000 per quarter, requesting information from private enterprises.
2. Annual Business Survey This survey is the key resource for understanding the detailed structure and performance of enterprises across the UK. Part of the data gathered is spend on software, computer services and telecom services. The sample size is 73,000.
3. Annual Population Survey This survey is a continuous household survey providing
social and labour market variables. It also uses data from the Labour Force Survey. Data collected includes occupation and pay, thereby enabling IT and telecom staff costs to be determined. The achieved sample size is 320,000 respondents per annum.
4. Inter-Departmental Business Register (IDBR) This register is a comprehensive list of UK businesses that provides the main sampling frame for surveys of businesses carried out by government departments. It is also a key data source for analyses of business activity. The IDBR covers more than 2.1 million enterprises in all sectors of the UK economy. It is used to provide the demographic structure of the five travel industry subsectors. This includes number of enterprises, employment and turnover.
In addition, other government sources are used for passenger numbers and economic forecasts. The latter is sourced from the Office for Budget Responsibility.
