摘要：This article shows that ICT is having far-reaching impacts on economic performance and the success of individual firms, in particular, when it is combined with investment in skills, organisational change, innovation and new firm creation. These impacts can be observed in firm-level studies for many developed countries, but have only translated into stronger economic performance at the economy-wide or industry level in a few developed countries. The limited impact of ICT at the aggregate level in many OECD countries is not necessarily due to the lack of investment in ICT, but more to lack of complementary changes and investment that enable the full exploitation of ICT. The article shows that labour productivity correlates positively a) with ICT indicators measuring the intensity of use of the internet and the intranet respectively by the firms’ employees;b) with variables for new forms of workplace organisation such as team-work, job rotation and decentralisation of decision-making;and c) with human capital intensity. Some evidence is also found for complementarities between human capital and ICT capital with respect to productivity but not between organisational capital and the other two kinds of inputs.
