This book provides an extensive overview of the diffusion of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in developing countries between 2000 and 2012. It covers issues such as country-specific ICT diffusion patterns, technological substitution and technological convergence. By identifying social, economic and institutional prerequisites and analyzing critical country-specific conditions, the author develops a new approach to explaining the emergence of their technological takeoff. Readers will discover how developing countries are now adopting ICTs, rapidly catching up with the developed world in terms of ICT access and use.

This book tells a story about Information and Communication Technologies' diffusion in 46 economically backward countries between 2000 and 2012, offering to the reader a fresh perspective on the issues discussed. It examines the spread of ICT from four broadly defined perspectives that highlight the major aims and scope of this work. These perspectives are: • Explaining the ICTs diffusion patterns and the dynamics of the process itself; • Detecting technological substitution; • Examining technological convergence; • Identifying the 'critical conditions' that enhanced the emergence of the 'technological take-off.' By convention, the central focus of this book is on developing countries, although this group of economies is extremely heterogeneous, and examining them is a challenging task. Per capita income varies significantly across the group; however, these countries also differ with respect to level of social development, economic performance, political regimes, dominant religion and, for example, population density. These differences matter, not only because they shape a country`s individual features but also because they heavily predetermine a country`s ability to develop in various ways and - as in our case - to assimilated ICT. Additionally, we argue that treating all 46 countries within the scope of this book as an aggregate may be misleading. Hence, we deliberately disaggregated the evidence and analysed each country individually. Such an approach allows the unveiling of significant differences among and unique characteristics of examined economies. Treating the countries as one homogeneous group would have resulted in a loss of information and an inability to present the above-mentioned differences and characteristics.

The diffusion of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) has been identified by international policy-makers and scholars as an important driver for economic development. In this perspective, research on the determinants of technology adoption appears particularly relevant. However, while the empirical literature on ICT adoption in workplace is relatively abundant, few studies have been elaborated on their penetration in households. Additionally, academic work has focused on industrialized countries and it is still missing a comprehensive analysis on developing world. In this paper we contribute to fill this gap, evaluating the main socio-economic determinants of the presence of computer and Internet connection in Paraguayan households. Non-parametric statistics show that Paraguay has relatively low levels of ICT penetration. Moreover, technology diffusion follows a heterogeneous pattern, reflecting pre-existing inequalities in other socio-economic dimensions. Econometrically, we model the probability that a household has or has not adopted computer technologies and Internet access. The results confirm that conventional variables such as income and education are key determinants of ICT diffusion, but there is also evidence of the presence of geographical network effects and of complementarities between Internet use at different locations.

This book examines the role that Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) play in growth and economic development promotion, specifically for developing countries. It highlights multiple methodologies for quantifying the impact of ICTs. This includes quantitative and qualitative methods, but also novel, conclusive and informative methodological approaches for measuring ICTs influence on economic development. The book highlights trends, perspectives, and success stories for different developing countries. ICTs bring new business models, innovations, capital-labor substitution, improved goods and services to developing markets. Because they can spread rapidly, with little cost and require minimal skills for usage, ICTs create a solid background for social and economic gains. They enable significant reduction in information asymmetries, which improves access to economic activities for multitude of agents, fostering participation, inter alias in labor market of disadvantaged societal groups. After almost two decades of rapid diffusion of ICT in developing world, this book seeks to assess the real benefits and consequences of ICTs adoption in developing countries. The chapters use broad, real-world based evidence to provide a better understanding of the precise nature of new technologies and their impact of the country`s economy and society.

"e;The impressive advances of information and communication technologies (ICT) in some Asian countries have led some people to proclaim a fundamental change in the world economy. It is essential still to study the experience of developing countries thoroughly and critically. The authors and editors have made an admirable contribution to make such an evaluation and fill a big gap in our knowledge. But it is still relatively difficult to find reliable information about the changes taking place in China or any other developing country. One of the many good features of this evaluation is that it takes into account the specific relationship of ICT with the wider social and economic system and the national system of innovation of each country."e;

This study seeks to determine whether information communications technologies (ICT) diffusion in developing countries is affected by intellectual property right (IPR) regimes. Literature items that were: (1) published in the last decade, (2) openly accessible, and (3) cited at least ten times, were profiled to fulfil the purpose of this study. Negative impacts of IPR regimes ranked highest among all factors used in the profiled literature of this study. The IPR factors related to the Power of Innovators were most popular among IPR factors that leaned towards the positive impacts of IPR regime. However, ICT diffusion factors were the most popular among profiled studies that tilted towards mendable impacts of IPR regimes. Consequently, this study infers that ICT diffusion in developing countries is adversely affected by IPR regimes. Limitations of this study are rooted in the fact that most studies were not freely available and access fees were prohibitively unaffordable to researchers from developing countries. This study contributes towards an understanding of IPR regimes as part of important factors that inhibit ICT diffusion in developing countries.
