What the lecture covered
- ICT investment varies by firm type — the analysis compared different categories of manufacturing firms and found meaningful differences in how much they invested in ICT.
- Established firms invested more — older, established firms showed higher ICT investment levels than newer enterprises.
- A firm-age link — this points to a possible relationship between firm age and the intensity of technology adoption, with established firms better placed to invest in digital capabilities.
