| Abstract: | Information Technology (IT) policies in some small, medium-sized and large OECD economies are considered. The IT industries are the focus of growth in the industrial restructuring process. R & D cooperation is seen as a policy innovation which alters the character of industrial competition. Factors affecting IT policy formulation and strategy are discussed, especially the importance of industry-government reactions, coupling between supply- and demand-side interventions and the industry life cycle. |
