I. INTERNET AND THE DIGITAL ECONOMY
| |
| The past few years have seen an explosion of attention to the role played by information
and communications technology (ICT) in shaping the global economic landscape
(OECD, 2000a)1. On the supply side, contributing factors include the development and
introduction of new and improved products through firm-level investments in R&D and
innovation, the ready availability of venture capital funds for investments in ICT, the
development and rapid growth of new products/services segments, and the general shift
towards services |

Abstract - E-COMMERCE FOR DEVELOPMENT: PROSPECTS AND POLICY ISSUES
| |
| In this paper, we analyse the potential contribution of the Internet and its commercial
application to the development process in poor countries. In historical perspective, the
Internet has diffused at a far faster rate than earlier generations of communications
technology: from 1990 to early 2000, the estimated number of Internet users grew more
than tenfold to roughly 300 million, affecting the way in which people communicate with
each other, acquire information, learn, do business, and interact culturally. Our particular
focus is on the opportunities e-commerce offers to small-scale entrepreneurs in developing
countries and the challenges they face in exploiting e-commerce’s potential. |

| it was fun to watch the advertisements. I watched the ads not from a football fan or TV viewer’s perspective, but from a marketing perspective. My goal was to figure out if each ad was a super ad or a super waste of money.

The Only Object of Life
| |
| Margaret Fuller wrote: “Very early, I knew that the only object in life was to grow.”
I love this quote and imagine this perspective had a profound impact on the quality of her life.
If each of us shared Margaret’s outlook and truly lived from this perspective in all of its fullness, what would be different for us and those whom we touch? There are many possibilities. |

How should CEOs select business metrics?
| |
| Metrics or measurements used for reviewing and planning various aspects of business have a lot of bearing on the results because what is measured and inspected is considered important by people. Metrics can be classified as historical or forward looking. Bias for historical data and analysis needs to be overcome. Customers, employees, and cash flows can provide vital clues to CEOs aiming to establish more forward looking signals and metrics. One can derive actionable points from even historical metrics if root-cause analysis for coming up with pro-active actions is done. Will all this take CEO's attention away from vision, innovation, and inspiring people? No. The above methods provide a springboard for day to day innovation and path breaking ideas. They also support realizing the vision. |

Move Into China By Emptoris A Bold Act Based On Solid Research, or A Reckless Gamble Based on Global Market Share Aspirations?
| |
| Chinese enterprise resource planning (ERP) vendors have been able to defend the challenge from global ERP leaders such as SAP and Oracle. This article seeks possible reasons for major international ERP vendors not being able to dominate the Chinese ERP market. Taking an ensemble view of technology, we conceptualize ERP systems as being embedded in complex social contexts, which heavily influence ERP implementation and use. Based on this conceptualization, we contend that a historical perspective and a social-cultural perspective can offer a rich understanding on ERP implementations in China. |
