Optimal project selection in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) sectors is an important issue because of strategy-oriented environments. Many criteria should be considered to select the optimal project in the ICT industry. Moreover, the resources are limited, which this makes the ICT projects selection more complex. Besides, the uncertainty of selection and evaluation process increa...

This paper contributes to the conflicting international evidence on the impact of information and communication technology (ICT) on labour productivity (LP) growth. We examine the link between ICT intensity and New Zealand’s LP growth in 29 industries over the period 1988-2003, and over relevant sub-periods. After deriving an ICT intensity index to classify industries into ‘more ICT intensive’ ...

Since the mid of the 80’s more prosperous European regions have growing faster than less prosperous ones, determining a widening of the gap between them. A possible explanation for the increasing gap relates to the effects of producing and/or using the information and communication technologies. In this case the increasing gap can be related to both the lower concentration of ICT industries and...

The implementation of ICT in schools requires a vision on ICT use in school, the formulation of clear strategic goals, and the planning and organisation of the use of ICT in school. The pursued goals are those points we want to reach for the learner by setting up ICT use in school. At the same time the pursued goals are the results of using ICT as expected by the stakeholders, being the learner...

This study considers priorities of primary goals to increase policy efficiency of Green ICT. Recently several studies have been published that address how IT is linked to climate change. However, most of the previous studies are limited to Green ICT industrial statute and policy directions. This paper present Green ICT policy making processes systematically. As a result of the analysis of Korea...

We study how the information and communications technology (ICT) ecosystem affects the sustainable growth of ICT firms. For our study, we analyze the efficiencies of ICT firms in China, South Korea, the United States, and Japan, which are the current leaders in the global ICT industry, each with different ICT ecosystem structures. We use metafrontier analysis (MFA) to compare the efficiencies a...

This paper explores teacher beliefs that influence the ways Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) are used in learning contexts. Much has been written about the impact of teachers' beliefs and attitudes to ICT as 'barriers' to ICT integration (Ertmer, Ottenbreit-paper takes a closer look at the types of beliefs that influence ICT practices in classrooms and the alignment of these be...

Despite the continuous increase of investment in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), research has not persuasively established corresponding productivity increases. In contrast, many studies investigating the ICT impact have found no significant relationships between productivity and ICT. However, several shortcomings have been identified in past studies, e.g. measurement errors, ...

A new, systematic and integrated way of building a national information and communication technology (ICT) frontier is proposed for countries specialized in ICT for export. Using patent citation as a proxy of interaction between technologies, a national ICT network is developed. Local core ICTs are identified by using two centrality measures and five brokerage measures. The importance in terms ...
