Synopsis
The ICT sector is crucial as a driver of economic and social growth. Not only is it an important industry in its own right, it also provides the information and communication infrastructure without which modern economies could not function. How does this sector work? Why is it stronger in some countries than others? What should companies, governments and regulators be doing to enhance its contribution? In The New ICT Ecosystem, Martin Fransman answers these and other questions by developing the idea of the ICT sector as an evolving ecosystem. He shows that some components of the ICT ecosystem, particularly the innovation process, work better in some countries and regions (e.g. the USA) than in others (e.g. Europe and the developing world). This enables policy-makers and regulators to understand why some parts of the ICT ecosystem are underperforming and what can be done to enhance their performance.
