Economist Intelligence Unit_Reaping the benefits of ICT_2004.pdf

For the purposes of the report, ICT is defined as IT hardware, software and services, and telecommunications equipment and services.

which manufacture large quantities of ICT hardware and software. Total factor productivity (TFP) growth an important measure of ICT's impact on productivity, has accelerated also in each of these countries4.

Germany, for example long the continent's economic powerhouse, a leader in broadband adoption and home of some of its software giants currently ranks in the middle of EU countries in our ICT development and enabler indices,

The importance of software in the ICT Mix in the US, software has attracted the largest share of ICT investment

since the technology boom began in the early 1990s. By 2000, it accounted for about 14%of total nonresidential capital investment in the US,

Software nonetheless accounted for onethird or more of ICT investment in the UK France and The netherlands in 2000,

Software investment tends to lag purchases of hardware. This may explain the more rapid growth of software investment relative to total investment in the US,

where firms made an early start in deploying IT and networking infrastructure. Assuming that Europe is playing catch up to the US in overall ICT investment

software vendors can probably look to good times ahead in their European markets. Software markets in Western europe proved relatively resilient during the technology slump of 2000-02

continuing to expand at moderate rates, whereas hardware sales declined. IDC, a technology consultancy, projects that the west European software market will expand at a respectable 6. 6%compound annual growth rate over the 2003-07 period to a volume of €57. 5bn

the European parliament, industry groups, entrepreneurs and software developers around the ability to patent software. Many large ICT companies (including Microsoft,

the sponsor of this report) favour the extension of patents to cover software as a way to strengthen IP protection across Europe

For their part, independent software developers view software patents as a weakening of copyright protection, and thus no less of a threat to innovative activity in this field.

At the time of writing, the revised European commission directive appeared to weaken the applicability of patents to software.

A typical example of using social resources to innovate is the popular phenomenon of open source software 71 and the current Threadless Community 72

An illustrative case of online social networks is the trend towards open source software 71. An oft-given example is the Linux Foundation.

Open source involves collaboration between firms, suppliers, customers, and policy-makers of related products to pool software R&d and generate shared technology.
