Information Technology and Globalisation

This publication is a result of a seminar held at the London School of Economics between 16-17 May 1995. It looks at the role of information technology on the globalisation process and addresses the implications on developing countries. The ten related articles address various issues related to this, including the impact of information technology on multinational corporations and transnational corporations; the implications of virtual organisations on workers; the illusion created by a global network as a socially productive technology; the domination of the developed work in the globalisation process; globalisation leading to modernisation; the globalisation of economies; global process; information technology infrastructures; and policies and plans influencing globalisation.
