Opis

The book first looks at the experience with the new economy in North America. It sets out the problems of measuring the effects of technological change on economic progress, taking up the effects of the Internet as a case in the new wave of technological progress. IT developments in India and China are reviewed, as well as the role of electronics production and trade in the Taiwanese economy. Corporate and industry experience, including changing business organization and new regulatory issues, are explored, and a series of industry case-studies (Internet services and automobiles) are taken up. The book concludes with a review of policy issues such as the digital divide, the approach to e-commerce in the WTO, and the regional agenda for capturing the benefits of the new economy.
