ICT Diffusion to Business: National Peer Reviews

The OECD Growth Study concluded that information and communications technology (ICT) is a key input to productivity and growth performance. This series of peer reviews on ICT diffusion to business, undertaken by the Working Party on the Information Economy, responds to the OECD Council Ministerial request for the OECD to increase its monitoring of member countries’ implementation of the Growth Study recommendations. The following reports review the status of diffusion of ICT to business in the respective countries and describe current and previous policies aimed at ICT uptake in firms.

Reports are currently available on Austria, Finland, Italy, Korea, Norway and Switzerland. Brief abstracts and links to downloads of each peer review can be found below. Reports on Denmark and the Netherlands are forthcoming.
