3 Executive Summary 4 Introduction 7 Part I The economic impact of ICT 8 Part II

We ran a survey of 100 senior executives on the commercial challenges of harnessing ICT to deliver increased productivity and growth.

This leaves Europe's policymakers and business leaders wrestling with two puzzles. First, why hasn't heavy investment in ICT delivered the economic growth and acceleration in productivity experienced in the US?

Second, we conducted a survey of 100 senior executives on the commercial challenges of harnessing ICT to deliver increased productivity and growth.

Skills, innovation and competition are crucial to making technology work. The productivity growth gap between the US and Europe is partly down to differences in effectiveness of ICT use.

and process changes in the workplace are a major impediment to growth in Europe. Weaknesses in managerial skills and technology awareness,

and change the way people work to take advantage of new technology. Policymakers and business leaders have work to do.

liberalisation, entrepreneurship, employment and (this being Europe) social inclusion as well as sustainable development. Yet the backdrop to this initiative was the growing recognition on the part of policymakers

and economists that the EU as a whole was falling behind the United states in key measures of economic growth, most crucially that of labour productivity growth.

and have registered the fastest labour productivity growth over the 1996-2002 period. The exception is Ireland,

which in turn leads to increases in labour productivity. Economists believe ICT capital investment has made a sizeable contribution to GDP growth in many developed countries in the past decade,

as well as in labour productivity and other key macroeconomic indicators. By contrast, Ireland has outpaced even the US in ICT-led productivity growth

and the job security they enjoy with their existing large firms. The European commission has been concerned sufficiently by this issue to launch a number of initiatives in an attempt to boost entrepreneurship.

Skills to reorganise, skills to innovate Europe is skilled not short of technical workers. Schools and universities produce a steady flow of graduates trained in software programming, network design and other technical aptitudes,

In our survey, lack of ICT knowledge in senior management and the failure of IT and business management to work together effectively were cited as the two main barriers to maximising the benefits of ICT.

The issue of labour market regulation is more contentious. Many economists argue that Europe's labour market regulations are too restrictive

and that they deter companies from reorganising the workplace. Policymakers and economists diverge however, on the link between labour regulations and productivity growth,

and on the desirability of policy initiatives to effect change. If nothing else, the relationship between labour regulations and ICT-led productivity growth will need to be explored more fully before politicians at either the EU

or national level will feel confident enough to propose far-reaching changes. A commitment to open markets and unfettered competition is clearly a factor in encouraging successful innovation,

but not everyone sees it as a priority. In our survey, most managers were concerned much more about getting technology to meet business needs

Eike Röhling, director-general of technology policy in the federal Ministry of Economics and Labour, cites the shortage of venture capital as one of the key barriers to innovation in his country.

In Europe as in the US, a substantial volume of R&d work is conducted by universities and independent research institutes.

and to give users (employees, suppliers and customers) the confidence to use them. Elie Simon, president EMEA of Sun microsystems, believes regulators must seek to develop unified security standards to protect Europe's network infrastructure.

of which is cited as a main external concern by 37%of the executives we surveyed. Common standards remove much of the risk associated with investing in competing technologies.

and are viewed by a majority of the executives we surveyed as important or extremely important to enabling firms to benefit from ICT.

Despite this, many policymakers (as well as executives judging from our survey) do not see labour market reform as a priority.

One targets the workplace, where public agencies can directly organise or support third-party initiatives to improve managerial and employee skills in ICT use.

This is particularly relevant to staff in SMES, where such skills are need most in. Taking the longer view, governments should also entrench ICT-related training at all levels of the educational system,

Business leaders need to invest in skills training for their own managers and staff, and provide incentives to encourage staff to undertake this training outside the workplace.

The organisations that will be most successful in harnessing ICT will train their staff not only how to use new technology,

but also in more challenging areas such as how to deploy technology for competitive advantage. In particular, managers will need to understand better the benefits,

or networks can have a harmful impact on workplace productivity. It is therefore incumbent on executives to ensure, through training and other mechanisms,

that their managers are fully aware of the potential benefits of an ICT investment, as well as the specific workplace factors that may complicate it,

before a purchase is made. ICT vendors carry a special burden of responsibility in this context. Vendors must make every effort to ensure that customers are not only aware of the benefits of a newly deployed technology,

quality circles and other mechanisms to promote employee involvement in decision-making; greater informationsharing; a more imaginative use of monetary incentives and other rewards;

employee participation in job design; and modifying criteria for promotion to reward new ideas and innovation.

Training in change management can also help to ensure that organisations are both willing and able to adapt to new challenges

In the UK, for example, any firms that want to work with local authorities will have to be able to do business online by 2005.

But ultimate responsibility for using ICT more effectively to improve workplace productivity lies with the executives and staff of European organisations, public and private sector alike.

Despite the decreasing affordability of education, increasing unemployment caused by the financial crisis has led to increases in the number of students enrolled in higher education institutes as education is seen as an alternative to unemployment.

The composite effect of rising unemployment and tuition fees however, has contributed to exacerbating inequalities in access to higher education (see Figure E. 3. 1 on educational attainment in tertiary education.
