OECD Information Technology Outlook 2008

http://www.oecdbookshop.org/oecd/display.asp?CID=&LANG=EN&SF1=DI&ST1=5KZFV5NVGLF2

Information technology (IT) and broadband are major drivers of
economic change, restructuring businesses, affecting skills and
employment, and contributing to growth and consumer benefits. This
volume describes recent market dynamics and trends in industries
supplying IT goods and services and offers an overview of the
globalisation of the information and communication technology (ICT)
sector and the rise of ICT-enabled international sourcing.

It analyses the development and impact of the changing global
distribution of services activities and the rise of China and India as
significant suppliers of ICT-related goods and services. It also looks
at the increasing importance of digital content in selected industries
and how it is transforming value chains and business models. The
potential of technological developments such as ubiquitous networks,
location-based services, natural disaster warning systems, the
participative web and the convergence of information technology with
nanotechnology and biotechnology is also examined. This book includes
StatLinks, URL's linking statistical graphs and tables to spreadsheets
containing the underlying data.
