These advantages, based on entropic factors such as wages, exchange rates, and commodity prices, often cannot be sustained. The strategic approach has concentrated more on programmes to overcome the critical obstacles (gaps or weaknesses) that must be addressed if desired development goals are to be reached, thus restructuring key internal and external economic linkages (Thurber, 1973, p. 15). Today, global flows of digital information are being channelled to restructure industries worldwide, creating opportunities for nations with (and representing a threat for those without) strong information technology infrastructures and capabilities. In only five years, Singapore created a national information technology infrastructure, and successfully deployed it as a strategic platform for development. This analysis focuses on the strategy behind this success, and extracts the critical elements for technology managers, development administrators, and policymakers.

As globalization extends its reach over cities and regions, the positions of those places within the emerging global paradigms of regional economies is changing. Only those regions and cities that can mobilize assets for local advantage would succeed. This research examines the implications of location for electronic commerce (EC) role in firm operations through the lens of managerial perceptions of EC systems, EC activities, agglomeration economies, firm-specific features and outputs relative to industry. The input-based view and industrial development frameworks provide the theoretical underpinning for this research. Fully completed instruments from 106 firms in Singapore and Lagos financial services sector, respectively, are the basis of our analysis. Our findings reveal varying results between industries across the two cities, supporting our propositions. Firms with well-configured EC systems are more likely to experience efficiency in EC activities and outputs, given conducive operational conditions. However, firm-specific features were not linked to output, a finding inconsistent with prior studies. Finally, EC business models that focus on operational efficiency strongly complement the historically relevant location variable in industrial operations. These findings provide basis for recommendations to policymakers, practitioners, and researchers.

Seen as a case, each one illuminates a common understanding about the changing nature of economic development that is especially relevant for the 21 st century. Moreover, each in its own way recognises the critical importance of infrastructure, and especially telecommunications, as an enabling technology for development. While industrial parks (IPs), the focus of chapter 12, are not directly involved in either the development or delivery of telecommunications services, their tenants rely on the infrastructure provided by the park operators and the host government. As noted by the authors, sound telecommunications links with suppliers and buyers allow park tenants to manage their supply chains. Chapter 13 examined the potential for information technology to enhance relationships among local authorities and the people, through the useful metaphor of an "electronic
