Use Of Information Network And Organizational Productivity: Firm-Level Evidence In Korea

Abstract

This paper studies the relationship between the use of various information networks and organizational productivity in Korean firms. To this end, first. the current firm-level usage panems of information networks are explained in the following network categories: (1) LAN (Local Area Network). (2) inter- and intra-firm networks, (3) various types of inter-firm networks, and (4) the Internet and intranet, Second, by deriving TFP (Total Factor Roductivity) from the baseline production function, which augments lT stock into otherwise standard one, the impact of various information networks is investigated. The results show that LAN, the Intemet and intranet have significant impacts on fm-level TFP, while inter-firm network does not. Also, the productivity of firm using the Internet is 8.5 percent higher than the firms using only LAN, and the productivity of firms using intranet is 43.6 percent higher than the firms using just the Internet.Information Networks, Total Factor Productivity JEL Classificarion D21; D24; 033,

Information Technology and Its Impact on Economic Growth and Productivity In Korea

“…'7 I4The depreciation rates in Pyo (1 998) were estimated 13.1 percent during 1970-1 977 and 14.2 percent for the period 1978-1987. Although these rates are somewhat smaller than Shin's (2000) study, where the estimated rate was 22.4 percent, the present study retains these rates until the year 2000 for the sake of comparability. he weighted average values of the producer price indexes come from five IT-related sectors, including electronic motors~electronic generators.electronic transformers, insulated wires and cables, electronic valve and tube components, communication equipment and apparatuses, and TV.radio.sound and video recording and reproduction apparatuses.…”

Influencia de la adopción de tecnologías de información en el desempeño organizacional

“…Las herramientas tecnológicas se encuentran presentes en la mayor parte de las actividades cotidianas tanto de las personas como de las empresas, disminuyendo las barreras de la distancia y el tiempo y facilitando el desarrollo de un sinnúmero de tareas (Méndez y Monje, 2006). En la actualidad, las tecnologías de la información (TI) son consideradas herramientas esenciales en la mejora de la economía de un país, derivado de los efectos significativos que tienen en la productividad de las empresas por la mejora de los procesos internos y del desempeño de los trabajadores (Brynjolfsson y Hitt, 1996;Lichtenberg, 1995;Shin, 2000). Ahora bien, la magnitud de estos efectos dependerá del nivel en que las TI se encuentren distribuidas y utilizadas (Oliveira y Martins, 2011).…”

The Impact of ICT on Productivity: The Moderating Role of Worker Quality and Quality Strategy

“…Non-ICT capital is measured by conventional 2 Encuesta de Estrategias Empresariales (ESEE) in Spanish. 3 Similar depreciation rates close to 20% have been used, for example by Kafouros (2006), who assumes a depreciation rate for intangible technological resources of 20%, and Shin (2000Shin ( , 2006 who uses a depreciation rate of 22.4 % for ICT investments. In any case, although rates used in prior studies vary widely, Bloom et al (2006) show that the significance and the magnitude of the coefficient obtained for ICT is not affected by the exact choice of the alternative depreciation rate.…”
