It covers issues such as country-specific ICT diffusion patterns, technological substitution and technological convergence. By identifying social, economic and institutional prerequisites and analyzing critical country-specific conditions, the author develops a new approach to explaining the emergence of their technological takeoff. Readers will discover how developing countries are now adopting ICTs, rapidly catching up with the developed world in terms of ICT access and use. 606 $aDevelopment economics 606 $aEconomic policy 606 $aComputers 606 $aGlobalization 606 $aMarkets 606 $aManagement 606 $aIndustrial management 606 $aCommunication 606 $aDevelopment Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W42000 606 $aR & D/Technology Policy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W43000 606 $aInformation Systems and Communication Service$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I18008 606 $aEmerging Markets/Globalization$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/525010 606 $aInnovation/Technology Management$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/518000 606 $aCommunication Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X28000 615 0$aDevelopment economics. 615 0$aEconomic policy. 615 0$aComputers. 615 0$aGlobalization. 615 0$aMarkets. 615 0$aManagement. 615 0$aIndustrial management. 615 0$aCommunication. 615 14$aDevelopment Economics. 615 24$aR & D/Technology Policy. 615 24$aInformation Systems and Communication Service. 615 24$aEmerging Markets/Globalization. 615 24$aInnovation/Technology Management. 615 24$aCommunication Studies. 676 $a005.7 676 $a302.2 676 $a330 676 $a338.9 676 $a338.926 676 $a381 676 $a658.514 700 $aLechman$b Ewa$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01063538 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298465903321 996 $aICT Diffusion in Developing Countries$92532926 997 $aUNINA
