In the Information Age managers have to face complex and radical changes, many of those being related to the new information technology (IT) proliferation. The ability to transform the information technology in a threat or an opportunity, in a challenge or an impediment, greatly depends on the managers’ professional training in the field of IT. In order to find out the usage level of the tools provided by IT and to point out the managers’ attitude towards these, a survey was realized. By analyzing the results we can notice that the marks obtained by managers for the knowledge in the computer science field are rather unsatisfactory. Taking into consideration the fact that in the new age the information technology will be available in all industries and in all activities, enterprises should focus more on training the users – managers and employees.
