Public ISBD Titre : Corporations' Use of the Internet in Developing Countries Type de document : document électronique Auteurs : John A. Daly, Auteur ; Robert R. Miller, Auteur Editeur : International Finance Corporation Année de publication : 1985 Importance : 23 p Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Technologies numériques Tags : NTIC  Pays en développement Index. décimale : 04.06 NTIC Résumé : The study reported here uses a survey technique to explore corporate Internet use in developing countries. A major conclusion is that such use is extensive, considering deficiencies in telephone networks in many countries and the relative newness of the technology. Most companies surveyed have Internet connections, although the number of individuals within the firms who have access is typically quite small. As in developed countries, E-mail is a primary benefit of the Internet to these companies, and it is used both internally and to communicate with outsiders. More sophisticated uses of E-mail (transmitting documents or data, for example) are not as widespread in developing countries, possibly because the number of Internet connections is still small relative to those found in Europe or the United States. Still, in anticipation of increasing connectivity, many developing country companies already have introduced home pages.
