• 40% of European Growth comes from Innovation (European commission)
• ICT potentially increases innovation– by speeding up diffusion of information, – favours networking among firms, – enables closer links between businesses and
customers, – Reduces geographic limitations, – increases efficiency in communication
BUT
• The complete benefits of new technologies are obtained only when associated with: – new organizational change, – Complementary investments. From website design
to electronic exchanges with suppliers and customers,
– appropriate types of skilled workers
