Synopsis
To better meet new economic pressures and objectives, application oriented information technology strategies are increasingly considered as a new area for policy action. This approach suggests placing more emphasis than before on supporting "networked" IT, which links different equipment to permit new information flows and exchange among firms, industries, sectors, and countries. To stimulate these activities, new IT policy programs are increasingly designed around emerging IT application areas (transport, medical equipment, engineering, environment, and others) to signal new markets. These initiatives now pursue strengthening the scientific-technological infrastructure in the IT area supporting national and international collaboration between industry and the private and public research centers, and users and increasing the attractiveness for foreign investment in production and research facilities in countries.Book Details
