Abstract

The contribution of information and communications technology (ICT) to economic and productivity growth has traditionally been difficult to calculate because of the complex relationship between them, but this relationships is now better understood with ICT now accepted as a transforming and revolutionary ‘general purpose technology’ (GPT). This paper describes the transformation of ICT from back room cost centre to bottom line contributor of significant economic and productivity growth and suggests that the rise of the services industry has had, and will continue to have, a significant role in the continued payoff for ICT.
