| Popis: | 97 With the aid of information and communication technology (ICT), decision makers may enhance their management capability and strengthen corporate productivity. The main purpose of this study is to investigate if ICT investment in Taiwan’s industries has a positive effect on industrial productivity. Financial industry and electric utility industry are selected as case studies. In this thesis, we divide the ICT investment into hardware(IH) and software(IS).The empirical results derived from utilizing a KLEMI model, reveal that there is a positive effect of ICT on the productivity of Taiwan’s financial and electric utility industries. The results of financial industry show that contribution of the IS is greater than that of the IH. The results of electric utility industry show that the contribution of the IH is greater than that of the IS. The empirical evidence shows that the ICT investment has an effect of increasing returns to scale in both financial industry and electric utility industry. |
