Managing ICT for Productivity

This project, led by Jonathan Liebenau, focuses on the managerial dimensions of the utilization of ICT in business, with a special emphasis on leading British industrial districts. Working in parallel with the leading econometric studies of ICT-led productivity growth, we address questions such as, what typifies effective managerial practices in firms with differing results. We concentrate on geographical clusters and on coherent industrial sectors to test hypotheses including those explaining international lag times in productivity growth, sectoral differences, and the effects of geographical clusters. We also address questions about the efficacy of virtual relations in replicating or enhancing geographical proximity.
