Policy implications • The business environment matters… …in particular, the level and nature of competition. • Investing in ICT is much more than hardware. It involves a constellation of complimentary investments. • ICT is both a source and a tool for more innovation.
Current / Future Work on eBusiness • Addition of an eBusiness module to the model survey on Business Use of ICT • Improved measurement of ICT investment by businesses (esp. software) • Non-technical innovation (Organisational Change)

eBusiness processes identified as of common interest. • Customer acquisition & retention • E-commerce • Finance, budget and account management • Human resource management • Product design & development • Order fulfilment and order tracking • Logistics (inbound & outbound) and inventory control • Product service and support • Knowledge management
Lessons • be aware of the technology • Stay close to the policy issues • Be pragmatic (creatively use existing data resources and do easy things first) • Proceed in a flexible (modular) way • Feedback: stay open to revisions, breaks in series.
A few ideas for applying the OECD model to non-OECD countries… • Use available data sources • Add a few “core” questions to existing business surveys • Undertake a small survey of known performers • Combine with other work (BR, LFS)
