“…These cities have emerged as the nodes of the global data traffic network (Moss and Townsend 2000). The Internet backbone system represents a new urban infrastructure, and international ISP intercity linkages are the best indicators of the geography of the Internet (Abramson 2000). Because it is practically impossible to obtain the volume of data flows between geographic locations, Internet backbone bandwidth size (though partial bandwidth capacity is actually used) can be used as the best proxy (Brunn and Dodge 2001;Rood 2000;Townsend 2001a).…”

The research looks at the structure of the Internet backbone and air transport networks between 82 cities in 2002, using Internet backbone bandwidth and air passenger traffic data. Centrality measures on individual city's hierarchy in the Internet and in the air traffic networks were significantly correlated, with London in the most dominant position in both networks. A quadratic assignment procedure (QAP) showed a structural equivalence between two systems. The division and membership of the clusters in both networks also showed similarity; both networks had a strongly cohesive North American‐European cluster with the London‐New York dyad as the strongest linkage in the global flow of information and people. These findings suggest that current trends in Internet infrastructure concentration reproduce and maintain global inequality and hierarchy among world cities.

“…A internet representa uma estrutura ainda emergente que cresceu a um ritmo notável, sendo comprovadamente um ímã para o fascínio do público e do investimento privado igualmente (ABRAMSON, 2000). Um site de empresa é definido como um site que pode fornecer serviços adequados pela informática, tecnologia da informação e tecnologia de rede, a fim de estabelecer uma boa imagem corporativa e tornar o mundo do lado de fora entender a empresa.…”

RESUMOEsta pesquisa buscou verificar como os gestores de um Call Center de uma empresa de telecomunicações, utilizam os indicadores de desempenho. Para atingir este objetivo, e com base nos pressupostos teóricos do uso de indicadores de desempenho, tomada de decisão com base em indicadores, importância dos indicadores, mensuração da estratégia, impacto do uso de indicadores, frequência de revisão dos indicadores e relações de causa e efeito entre os indicadores, foi realizada uma pesquisa que primeiramente adotou procedimentos documentais que foram complementados com um levantamento realizado com oito profissionais de cargos estratégicos da unidade de negócios. Conclui-se com a pesquisa que

“…Several theoretical contributions have tried to distinguish the aspects of digitalization (Abramson, 2000;Atrostic et al, 2000;Mesenbourg, 2000;University of Texas, 1999. Here, this paper will refer to one of the main research works (the model elaborated on by the OECD Task Force on the digital economy (Colecchia, 2000)) that analyses the strategic relevance of the dimensions of digitalization in different phases of the technological development of digital platforms.…”

This article proposes a new model for measuring the digital divide within a set of countries or geographical areas. Starting from a series of elementary indicators the methodology groups these indicators into six factors of digitalization and, subsequently, aggregates the factors in a synthetic index called the synthetic index of digitalization. The dispersion in the distribution of the synthetic indexes of digitalization constitutes the measure of the digital divide. This method is based upon a measurement approach, which is different from the ones previously developed, since it uses principal components analysis for aggregating the variables and avoids many of the problems and limits shown by existing models. In the article an application of the methodology is provided within a set of ten developed countries for 2000 and 2001. The measurement framework for the digital divide presented here reveals new policy implications for public institutions and highlights opportunities and risks for managers working in the 'digital economy' environment.
