How Revolutionary Was the Digital Revolution? National Responses, Market Transitions, And Global Technology

" This wide-ranging volume is essential reading for anyone interested in the ongoing structural transformations and future challenges posed by information and communication technology (ICT) in Europe, the U.S., and Asia. The book provides extremely important insights into the political economy of the global digital era and helps us understand the interplay of technology, corporate strategy, and public policy. Understanding this interplay at all levels-- corporate, national, and international-- is the key to fully utilizing the potential of ICT and to enhance long-term economic growth." -- Erkki Liikanen, Governor, Bank of Finland, Former Commissioner for Enterprise and Information Society of the European Union " This outstanding volume provokes reflection on the vast changes in the world economy caused by the digital revolution. The editors and the authors provide not only facts but creative ideas: fresh thoughts about how to understand the relationship among technology, corporate strategy, public policy, and the global marketplace. It differentiates among what is global and what remains distinctively national. This book should be read by everybody interested in important issues concerning employment, wealth, and power. It helps redefine the ' conversation' we are having about globalization." -- Peter Gourevitch, University of California, San DiegoZysman, John is the author of 'How Revolutionary Was the Digital Revolution?
