ICT
For reasons of consistency, we call the use of information
and communication technologies in proprietary networks ICT adoption. Here,
the emphasis should be on networked adoptions, and isolated use of computers
should be neglected. Furthermore, the analysis should be limited to networked
computers or other data processing devices. (Telephone, Fax and Telex
applications should not be included). The term ICT itself stands for the
technology or the tools (networks, computers, other data processing and
transmitting equipment, and software). The use of ICT in business processes
leads to e-business, if non-proprietary networks are used, and to ICT
adoption in proprietary networks.
