The rise of information technologies and the proliferation of internet based
communication has often been referred to as the fourth technological revolution. Just like
steam and electricity, the diffusion of these new technologies has radically altered
products and the organisation of industrial production, ushering in a new era.
This book employs a variety of tools and methodologies in order to quantify the impact of
new developments in ICT, examining data at both micro and macro levels. A comparative
analysis of a range of countries provides a comprehensive account of the new
organisational frontiers and business models that ICT has generated.
